Today was a lovely, spring-like day here in Wisconsin. I had the day off, so I went home to visit the family and mooch a free meal. While I was there, my dad and I took a walk and brought along our cameras. Here's what I came up with:

Of Light and Colour
Here are a few photos I took while I was messing around with a slow shutter speed and some christmas lights.

A month full of everything and nothing
I know it's been something like a month since I've written on here. I haven't disappeared; I'm just back in school (which is virtually the same thing now that I think about it).
The only writing I've been doing is either for a class or something for the paper, which is usually about people whose lives are more interesting than mine. If my mother is lucky enough to have your e-mail, I'm sure you've read it all, as she sends anything I ever publish to the entire world. I think it's funny; I know she does it because she's just proud of her favourite oldest daughter. It just makes me wonder if anyone else cares. Quite honestly, most of the articles I write are about boring things. So far, I've written a lot about the Oshkosh Common Council race, a race I can't even vote in. Important, yes. Interesting, not really. Hopefully my name in the byline is enough to convince my misc. relatives and such to read it.
I've also been spending more time in the office of the paper, because I'm now the copy chief. That basically means that I'm the "penultimate authority on commas and the like," as a co-worker put it. Not only do I have to proofread the individual articles, but I also get to painstakingly scan proofs of the pages to make damn sure there are no errors in grammar, punctuation, or facts.
This semester, I also joined the photo club here on campus as a way to force myself to take more pictures. When I knew how much I would be getting for a tax return, I promptly blew all of that on a digital SLR camera to further this goal. I'll probably be posting many of these photos as a means to update without taking much time =).
So that about covers it. Between school, work and the paper, I haven't much time for writing for my own enjoyment. But I'm trying. And I promise I'm still around!
