Kind of busy.  I&#8217;m mainly writing to say that I&#8217;m sorry I haven&#8217;t taken many pictures lately, though now it occurs to me that maybe I should post a picture to my Flickr account saying as much, since that&#8217;s where pictures go and this is the place for words.  Oh it doesn&#8217;t matter anyway, does it?<\/p>\n<p>My boss convinced me to be in a play this summer, so that kind of takes up a lot of time.  Practice is from 7:00-9:00PM which means that my evenings are effectively split in half and I can&#8217;t do much or go too far.  That alone is enough reason to have slacked on photography, right?  Right!  Oh, yes, I also have that internship this summer, so I&#8217;m all kind of brained-up about that, and I&#8217;m not even sure what that means, but it seems like the right words.<\/p>\n<p>I also haven&#8217;t been drinking coffee lately so that&#8217;s kind of slowed me down, or so I feel, but maybe I just don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going as fast because because I&#8217;m not drinking coffee which would let me see how fast I&#8217;m going.  In my head.  The part of the machine that makes words isn&#8217;t spinning right this morning.  Fire up the gyroscopes. <\/p>\n<p>Fire gyroscopes.<\/p>\n<p>Fyroscopes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Guh.  Lost track for a second.  It&#8217;s very difficult for me to write this right now because I don&#8217;t even remember why I&#8217;m wriOH YES I have lost my sunglasses which is kind of dumb.  I (almost almost almost) NEVER lose things.  I keep track of things, I keep track of things for myself, I keep track of other people&#8217;s stuff.  It&#8217;s disheartening when I lose something of my own.  I feel like I&#8217;ve let you all down.<\/p>\n<p>But these sunglasses, man, they&#8217;re old.  I&#8217;ve had them almost a year now.  The little rubber noseresters fell out a long time ago, and I had to tighten up the joints every week or so with the needle-nose pliers otherwise they would have just fallen right apart.  That&#8217;s what you get for $11 sunglasses from K-Mart, right?  But now I&#8217;m blind when I go out, I have to squint, and it feels like I&#8217;m in Spain all over again.  It&#8217;s been 24 hours now and I haven&#8217;t seen my sunglasses, and they&#8217;re not in my apartment or my car or at work or at the theater so they&#8217;re just gone, grew legs and walked off, and I <\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;m just going to have to go sunglasses shopping, and that&#8217;s one of my least-favorite things.<\/p>\n<p>but hey!  Let&#8217;s do that thing here, why don&#8217;t you join me in it!  What&#8217;s that least-favorite thing of yours that you&#8217;re going to have to do soon?  What&#8217;s bugging you, making you grumpy?  I&#8217;m grumpy about having to shop for sunglasses.  Isn&#8217;t that stupid?  Isn&#8217;t that just mind-bogglingly American and middle-class and privileged?  If finding new sunglasses is the biggest of my worries at the moment then man, I am living one hell of a life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So &#8230; yeah.
