kp's birthday portrait (7/29/2010)
it's saturday, and i'm procrastinating. got a stack of mid-terms to get through this morning, and i'm not sure i'm up to the challenge. also got my hair cut yesterday, which is always something of a traumatic event. it's waaaaaaaay shorter than i meant for it to be... i think it's the shortest i've ever had it (save for the pixie/buzz cut i sported in vietnam). i actually gasped when i saw the back - this is obviously not a good sign - but i didn't cry, which bodes well. knox's response was, "whoooaa. well, it'll grow."
so, procrastination, trauma... and a bit of nostalgia this saturday a.m. i feel these pulls and pangs a lot, actually: i miss riding my motorbike between truc bac lake and west lake in hanoi (the wind blowing through my 1/2" hair!), i miss the primary colors in my spartan room in montréal, i miss eating peanut butter on montana mountain tops (the wind blowing through the 1/2" hair i had on my legs!!)... there are even times when i look back fondly on west-texas road trips... though those moments are fewer and further between.
today, no surprise here, it's paris i'm missing:
une certaine idée de la france...
la gare du nord
(i love the outdoor metro stations in the summer)
au marché aux puces - a sunday morning well spent (in any town)
dans mon jardin d'hiver (if you don't know this song already, you should)
le pompidou
belleville
canal st. martin
view of the city from the pompidou

I always love your photographer's eye for geometry – and can relate to your feeling of nostalgie! That will be me with a stack of midterms this weekend...
