I was trying to help josh find brick print mirror tiles, and we stumbled upon this,

Library.

I love the mundane design of this library. I often get lost even though i know where I am. I'll walk in the opposite direction of the call number I am looking for; instead of annoyance this produces many a happy accident finds. The most memorable was this book I found dealing with the human body and sex.. (i think)... all i know is the imagery was wonderful and it shagging boobs, shelf asses, and poses showing different levels of dominance or something to that effect. I could not tell you the name of the book nor could i find it in a search engine but, if it isn't checked out (which it often is) i could certainly find it for you. I just love being here for some reason. Perhaps tonight it is also because I am working on something I care about, the bibliography for a paper I am writing on Container Architecture

a day among others

spring is coming into view. dates and other significant things are approaching ever so fast; somehow it feels normal. it all feels as it should, as if this is everyday; because it is. i'm freaking out about but not in the normal way, but in the excited cry, butterflies in your stomach sort of way though i know it wont all be fun an games, in fact most of it probably wont be.

i find myself in this constant stream of information and just plain stuff. though it may not seem to connect to you this all leads me to a thought i woke up with.
"i am a collector"

here is something for you to start with:
