This site will be on hiatus for awhile. Expect something different next year. In the meantime, generic holiday greetings to you all, and should these be the last words ever posted here, I leave you with some time-worn advice from David Crosby: just take it one step at a time, and know that I love you.

well, /I/ liked it

There’s a small fenced-in parking lot across the street from the Holy Name Cathedral rectory. The gate used to have a sign that said “THOU SHALT NOT PARK HERE” to deter people from blocking the entrance. The sign has been replaced by a generic no-parking sign. It makes me sad.

Dear Penpal,

I’m told where you live is really quite far. Can you please send directions on how I can get where you are.

Your friend,
Charlie Brown

Yes, I do freelance photography!

Tuesday, December 9, 2003

Ideas are starting to form as to what I’d like this site to become… I’ll probably move away from the blog-your-heart-out mindset and focus more on my photography. I’ll mix some parts photolog and some parts photo essays–see, now there’s something I haven’t done in awhile.

I haven’t gotten out and photographed anything in awhile. It’s kind of sad. I wish I had willing subjects so I could work on my candids and portraits. (OK, you got me. Really I just wish I knew anyone in this town outside of work.)

I send you this blog entry in order to have your advice. Weigh in or not, it’s all the same to me; I’m just writing this here so you all will make fun of me when January rolls around and I haven’t done anything.

(Also, I’m a bit embarrassed that one of my blog entries is on the first page of results of a Google search on “what are some strengths of Pittsburgh”…to the K-12 crowd that visited on that search, I hope my entry helped, and I’m sorry for deleting some of your comments that I thought were spam.)

I love my job and all, but I think I’ve moved on from the honeymoon phase to the “Why did I take this job?” phase. “For want of a nail” and all that.

Sixteen days to VACATION!.

Also: oops! columbia.edu h4x0r3d? or incompetent sysadmins? or both?

Would anyone disagree with the opinion that the “Snoopy, Come Home” special isn’t really kids material? I mean, it’s so sad! How could Snoopy be forced to choose between poor Charlie Brown and sick Lila? It’s depressing! It’s worse than Charlie Brown never being able to kick the football! Or Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin!

Me and you, a two man crew,
Side by side, we’re unified
And we will never be divided, win or lose,
We go in twos. We’re the best of buddies,
Me and you.
We’ve got good vibes, our friendship jibes,
In our close united status
Who could ever separate us?
And what’s more we’re in rapport
We’re the best of buddies, me and you.
Harmony is where it’s at,
And where it’s at for you
Is where it’s at for me.
Share and share alike
Is what it’s all about,
And what it’s all about is unanimity!
Partners! Pals! Comrades! Chums!
Buddies to the end whatever comes!
Me and you, a two man crew;
Even if the going’s gruesome
We can make it as a twosome!
Lose or win, sink or swim!
We’re the best of buddies, buddy,
We’re the best of buddies
We’re the best of buddies, me and you!
