Signs I'm getting older

Here are a few of the signs I am rapidly becoming an old person:

1. I wake up before 7 a.m., out of choice.
2. I have seen most of Ken Burns' PBS documentaries
3. I wear velcro shoes and cardigan sweaters
4. I listen to enough NPR to intelligently debate the interview styles of Terry Gross and Steve Inskeep.
5. I schedule my weekends around NPR shows
6. Some of my favorite films involve topics as thrilling as typeface, crosswords, and scrabble
7. I am more upset about the traffic on gamedays then I am excited for the game
8. I feel I am too far behind on technology to catch up.
9. Most Saturdays, I go to the public library to pick up books on tape.
10. I eat high fiber cereal
11. I don't own a television. My favorite forms of media: the phonograph and f.m. radio.
12. Carl Cassell is my hero.

a pointless nostalgic, that's me

I've been feeling overly nostalgic about Fayetteville lately, given the prospect that I will likely have to move away soon. Today seems like a better day to start this series of posts than any other, given that I should be working on my thesis.

They've turned on the rope-lights outlining Old Main already... can't believe it's getting to be that time of the year!

A room with a view

there's a brilliant orange tree just beyond my window in Vol Walker (the architecture studio). It's a nice reminder of life outside this building. The color contrast between it and everything inside the room is also striking.
