i didn't really understand when on the day i moved in my new roommate craig [above] kept saying "yeah, we're those people," about him and his friends.

he broke it down very simply -- "there's nothing to do to pass the time in between work but drink."
this leads to beer pong parties at our house and overweight guys in ohio state jerseys passing out on our couch on the weekends. it doesn't bother me. it's just interesting. and having played zero games of pong through college, i'm proud to say that my precision in getting a tiny ball in a plastic cup has improved. practical applications to non-bud-light life have yet to be found, but i can' t say i haven't learned anything from them.

cliff

i just got back from barnstorm and find myself mega inspired. the newsroom welcomed me back by giving a halfway sincere nod and assigning a weather feature. i know the stories are out here in gloomy lima.

the mornings since i came back have been heavy and cold, only to be followed up with really beautiful and golden afternoons. it surprises me everytime because when you wake up to nothing, it's hard to remember the existence of something.

i'm rambling, but basically i met clifford a few days ago and hopefully him and his wifey amy will be hanging out with me more often in the weeks to come.

elucidation

sorry for the flaky post frequency. i've been moving and working and making tons of photos and then not making enough time to look through them because i'm easily distracted. i've also come to be less patient about spending more time than necessary on the computer. my impulse to repulse is kind of silly. brett is graciously helping me finally put this site up [that's all we really have so far]. so now i'm getting to sorting through photos from the last couple of months trying to get my stuff organized. {cred to matt for the photo }
