i like boston. the ice cream trucks play joplin.

library creatures are very comforting. if you don't know what i'm talking about, which you probably don't, since i just came up with the term "library creature", library creatures are generally amiable, very helpful, and are always emerging from behind bookshelves. they have a mean age of 92, and are always dusty.
not to be confused with library monsters.
anyway, i spent the day at the boston public library. it's such a magical place! no, really - it's one of those places where you'd expect to see gnomes emerging from secret passageways, statues coming to life, and library creatures, the Guardians...of...books.
sort of harry potter-ish, with a lord of the rings feel.

i'm insane.
i haven't posted in over a year, and this is what i write about? library creatures?
i suppose i have only two other things to say about life this past year:

1. i fail.
2. adam.

i suppose i did a lot of traveling as well - china twice, mexico, san francisco three times, seattle, london, edinburgh, and now i'm in boston for school.

no grand conclusions, though. no epiphanies; just a few random, unarticulatable, half-formed thoughts...


augustana's Boston lyrics come to mind:

" She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,

Boston... where no one knows my name.
Yeah Boston...
Where no one knows my name"


it's nice. i like new beginnings.
