Pad Thai

Also on that note: there is a great void in my life without the asian market. That place was close, cheap, and they had everything.

Today in History

(because my today in this hemisphere failed to satisfy the precedent)

Spoleto, Umbria, Italy

The Valley of the Pigeons, Cappadocia, Turkey

I need my keys.

I really enjoy driving Quade's truck. While listening to Ani DiFranco. And basking in the incongruity.

Sometimes I like to think of new names for Leyna's dog.

It makes Leyna mad and confuses everyone else. Don't you think Ludlow is a great name for him?

A seriously good week:

Resurrection

Good things are about to happen.

Proof:

Thanks again, NPR.

Hello, friends! Here is yet another great NPR link from The Picture Show. Some of these photographs are really amazing.

Forever is Tomorrow is Today

Vanity

I had fun buttons. And a happy necklace I found at the saturday flea market.

Also, with all the time I spend in my room writing my thesis, I am fast running out of things to look at.

All you need is...

Peanut butter and jelly. Seriously.

Colors

I got this bracelet in Cairo and I was so excited to wear it. When I got to the top of the hill and removed my coat though, I discovered it had dyed my arm blue. I am the classiest person I know.

To add to my day full of odd pigmentation, this wine was very inky and purple.

White clothing, beware.

Pictures, Drugs, and Rock and Roll

I still don't have a camera, but I have a keen interest in NPR articles. I found this one and thought I would share it...

Kelidescope

Not really, I just felt I should compensate for the less-than-spicy photo with some over editing fun. And I like the way that it looks like the world from some sort of looking device (um, other than a camera?) The light was really cool on San Sal, with a super long, skinny shadow cast by the Swisscom tower... and I was still suffering from the cairo-funk and in self-imposed quarantine, so I was happy to see something photo-worthy from my balcony.

Some Faces

I kinda like them...

I like this and I did not have a photo for this day:

Tahnee

Little Lights

The Good Life

Stella on the Nile. I love travel.

Lindsay

This photo is not of anything ancient, iconc, of highly entertaining so I have not given it enough attention, so I felt like it deserved some blogspace.

Alexandria: Cavorting with Cleopatra and Cavafy

The photos were not mind-blowing... I was still in a dehydrated stupor but I feel like modern Alexandria lacks personality. STILL, the idea of history, poetry, libraries, and lighthouses was intoxicating
