There is little to say other than I am eternally grateful to be here a year later. There is nothing like today to remind me that a running injury is not the end of the world and finals aren’t worth complaining about.
A song I have been recently introduced to.
My ears feel well.
lists
Things I am always reluctant to do but never regret doing:
- running
- brushing my teeth
- waking up early
Things I usually do but always regret doing:
- eating chinese food
Not much of a list, but it’s a work in progress.
Dr. Seuss
“It has often been said
there’s so much to be read,
you never can cram
all those words in your head.
So the writer who breeds
more words than he needs
is making a chore
for the reader who reads.
That’s why my belief is
the briefer the brief is,
the greater the sigh
of the reader’s relief is.
And that’s why your books
have such power and strength.
You publish with shorth!
(Shorth is better than length)”
These wooden sculptures are fascinating. They have a whimsical eeriness about them. I’m having difficulty carving the form out of plasticine- I can’t imagine conquering the medium of wood.
Serious play.
Film made by Andrew Beck Grace, director of the Documenting Justice program here at the University of Alabama. World Premiere will be at the SXSW festival this year.
Looks like a beautiful film.
Climbing is the best.
Psyched for a summer of training!
teetering
— a word that embodies perfect balance. Where pure defiance of physics is one bit removed from absolute destruction.
I have teetering motivation at the moment.

I would love to get experience creating infographics someday.
“I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.”
— Kurt Vonnegut
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this at first, but after watching it- I’ve been won over. I feel like burning man is a story that could have been written by Dr. Seuss. If you were five years old and watched this- wouldn’t you think so too?
