ONE:<\/B> When I’m carrying both my backpack full of books and my camera bag the camera bag has the place of prominence on my back by virtue of its cross-body strap design, whereas the backpack is just hanging off of one shoulder. It’s like they are, through their design or utility, expressing what my brain feels. I may be going to study in the library<\/A> but I’d rather be taking pictures<\/A>.<\/p>\n

TWO: <\/B> Last night while driving to the library with my windows down I passed a lawn that smelled of fresh-cut grass. I guess that means that Spring is upon us. Also, I can tell that Spring is upon us because the dogwoods are blooming. It is rather disconcerting because the dogwoods near my apartment do not smell very good this year – in fact, they smell quite a bit like some automotive product that I can not identify. Brake fluid? Transmission fluid? Something like which a pretty tree should not smell, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

THREE: <\/B> I was touched by Todd Alcott’s discussion with his five-year-old son Sam<\/A>, though maybe ‘touched’ isn’t the right word, maybe it should say something about laughter and amazement.<\/p>\n

FOUR: <\/B> My brain is shot, I think. I keep seeing people in my mind’s eye, familiar faces, and I have no idea where they’re from. New Orleans? Portland? Cookeville? Philly Nashville Boston Seattle I DON’T KNOW. They just keep appearing. I see someone in real life and think, “Oh, that girl reminds me of … that … one face … and I can’t remember who it is or how I know her … even though I can see her clear as day.” Or replace girl with guy, whatever, I’ve got quite a few of them up there. DAMN YOU NAMELESS PEOPLE! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!<\/p>\n

AND FIVE: <\/B> This morning as I left for work a new-model Volkswagen Beetle painted just like the General Lee<\/A> drove by. I just looked at it and thought, “… okay, why?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
