[for Tuesday, Oct. 9] There’s something I need to say to you. We haven’t known each other all that long, or spent more than seven hours together, but I’m in love with you. I’m not sure how it happened, and I wasn’t really expecting it. I’ve been in a serious relationship with Memphis now for almost three years. Sure, I’ve met other cities. I had a few brief flings with New York, but it was…
[for Monday, Oct. 8] Amber’s flight left around noon on Monday, which left me alone with the car and the island and some vague idea of stuff I needed to do and see before my own flight took off that night at 9. So I headed to Pearl City to see the famed memorial to the USS Arizona and the other ships that were destroyed when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The place was packed,…
[for Friday, Oct. 5] Snorkeling is harder than it looks. You look at people in their silly masks and think, How hard could it be? Breathe out of a tube, kick your legs, and enjoy the underwater life as it swirls and churns around you. Well, you’re an idiot. That tube you’re breathing out of is about as airy as an asthmatic’s clenching windpipe. That mask on your face is going to leak saltwater into…
[for Wednesday, Oct. 3] I’m home now. Have been for twenty-four hours and some change. And still quite exhausted. I’ve got so much to recap, but the energy, it’s just not there yet. As if to prove to the universe that I’m still totally out of sorts, I went to work today. And found out I had the day off. Then I slipped out, hopefully barely noticed. I’ve been slogging through pictures since last night…
In a few hours I’ll be trudging through security at the Memphis airport, hoping that all the crap in my purse is considered non-terroristic and whatnot. And several jetlagged hours after that, I’ll be in lovely Hawaii, where I will proceed to seek out a pineapple-dipped hot dog and a bed for a massive nap. I don’t know if I’ll have any internet access (or, if I do, if I’ll even feel like using it),…
[for Monday, Oct. 1] My big sister turned [age withheld to protect the chronically OLD!!!] Monday. I swooped down to Hardin County to surprise her, but my mom accidentally let the surprise slip as we were ten minutes away from taking her out to lunch, but that’s okay. It was funny anyway. Let me tell you a bit about my sister. She’s possibly the most friendly person you’ll ever meet. She describes herself by saying…
She’d probably kill me if she knew I was plastering her photo all over the interwebs, but I figure by now she’s used to me being the annoying person in the corner with the camera and the blog and the need to compulsively document everything. I keep telling everyone, “Some day you’ll be glad you have these pictures!” I have no idea if that’s true. But it’s the best argument I’ve got. I was glad…
[for Friday, Sept. 28] I flaked yesterday and didn’t take a picture. Luckily, this photo was taken after midnight Thursday, so it technically works for Sept. 28, crappy as it may look. Crazy — there’s less than a hundred days left in this project. And the year. Project 365
[for Thursday, Sept. 27] A mere month ’til Halloween. The impulse bug hit me today and I bought a set of ten spider lights. Yeah. No idea where I’ll put those, but I suspect we’ll be seeing them pop up as a daily photo in the next three weeks. Project 365
