this is my mom, in my room. everyone is jealous of her hair color -- as they should be
this is my bed, a queen-sized air mattress with five pillows. i dumped all my stuff on it when i came home. sorry, ma; i'm picking it up right after i finish this entry. you can perhaps also see my small ikea lamp and my awesome space heater.

here is the other wall of my room: two closets and a nook. it's a sweet deal.



this was me, this morning. my hair is very big in this picture. the bottom only got bigger as the day went on, but it was ok, because today was THE FIRST DAY OF MY INTERNSHIP. it was pretty cool. everyone is really nice at the office, and there are only like ten people (who are all pretty distinctly different), so it is easy to learn names. today i intimidated a xerox machine (its name is gary, because one of the press's biggest authors is gary snyder) into working, and i wrote copy for the fall 08 catalog. i worked 9:30-6, with a half-hour lunch break. i am very tired. but not too tired to post more pictures.



this is my roommate's cat. this picture makes him look like a psycho demon, but he is very nice and affectionate.

you may have to squint a little on this one, but hopefully you can see the hinge on my closet door. it's triangular. LIKE IN A CASTLE. there are sconces on the wall in the living room, too.
