this is a good marker of where i’m at:
you can read that picture as you will. it is mine, i took it and edited it myself.

i read an old memory in my journal last night that i subconsciously erased. it took me 20 minutes of hard thinking to recover that memory as my own, as [...]
I hadn’t really thought about it until I started going through pictures, but I’m finding that I actually really miss Salzburg. And the giant square with the weird golden ball with the man on top. And the gelato and kabob on the street. And the clap of horseshoes on cobblestones.
My world both shrunk and expanded [...]
My new room feels strangely correct, as though I’ve been living here forever. Every piece of furniture found its place, and I no longer have a bookshelf facing my bed and cutting into my dreams. I was able to put my disk chair by the window, which was something I wanted to do in the [...]
Each time I move to a new apartment, I am reminded (much to my irritation) that my life is made up of small, inconsequential things that, as hard as I try, I can’t seem to live without. Like hair creams and blowdryers and straighteners and lotions and little trinkets and porcelain jewelry holders. Every time [...]
i’m about as hazy as the day right now, lazy in thought, slow in action. a whir of thoughts in my head. mostly los angeles and the old buildings that crowd the hills of westwood. i know if i were to go there at this moment and stand beneath the buildings, listening to the cars [...]

Theoretical underpinnings aside (indeed, I would always choose tomorrow), today, I would choose specifically the yesterday that happened yesterday. My reasons do not belong in a public forum, but I will share the theory that envelopes them:
I believe that [...]
Crowds relax me better than a night of sleep, especially crowds on the move. When I have nowhere in particular to go, and nothing in particular to do, I like nothing better than to wander up and down the streets of San Francisco and take in the city. Now that I have my snazzy new [...]
I’m not really sure why McGeorge neglected to tell us this prior to the raft race (maybe it’s just common knowledge in Sac and I’m a twit), but I feel it’s important enough to add to the world wide web.
Swimming in the American River may give you swimmer’s itch. It doesn’t hurt, but if it [...]
Here’s a group of people taking themselves very seriously – at least that’s what it looks like so far. Dress code does not include shorts, I don’t know if this is a Norcal thing or a law school thing. I’m wearing shorts. Because it’s hotter here than it is most days in Southern California (where [...]
