It was lately Christmas, as you may have noticed. My parents are back from sabbatical in Eugene, Oregon, and we celebrated the holiday nicely together with delicious food and so on. I went to some nice parties for friends and coworkers, and we all went to the UU church’s Christmas Eve service, which was very [...]

I went up to New Hampshire over the weekend to visit my grandparents with my dad. We had a good time with them. My grandfather did some wandering though the forest with us, and we kept my grandmother company in her nice chair by the fireplace. It was quite a nice visit. They have a [...]

More pictures from my photo trip with my dad, this time in black-and-white. We’ve both been trying to get better at the technique, I understand that it’s supposed to build your appreciation for contrasting brightnesses in your photography compositions. Seems appropriate for Halloween!

Quick post: I’m back at my parents’ in Illinois, jet lagged and disoriented from 20+ hours of travel. I have a bunch of half-written blog posts that I need to sort out before I can post them (not to mention IRL things like doing my taxes, catching up on my health checkups, and looking for [...]

Since Germans primarily do their celebrating on the 24th, I can now cross “Christmas in Germany” from my list of things to do in my life. Although I had some doubts at the start of the month, I would say that I’ve done pretty well in celebrating the holiday. We had vast quantities of thick fluffy [...]

My mom and dad head off this weekend to return to hiking, and to go bicycling, respectively. They’re happy to be outdoors again now that my mom is done with her lyme disease (aka vampire) meds. Evidently taking them makes you very sensitive to sunlight. This means my brother and I have the house to [...]

I graduated over the weekend! It seemed to take forever to get here. My parents came up Thursday night to see my Experimental New Media project – I’ll upload it as soon as I figure out how to compress it small enough – and then the whole class + parents went out for Thai food [...]
