jiggety-jig
I'm so far behind. Behind in posting to the thesis blog, behind in posting here (I was planning to try really, really hard to post here if not every day then at least every other day, but I didn't tell y'all because I feared I would disappoint, and it's just as well I never mentioned it, eh?), behind in updating the website, in correspondence (nothing new there). But who the hell cares? Yesterday morning I basked in summery sun and warm breezes in bare shoulders; today I'm shivering, unable to thaw my feet, and do you know why? I'm home!
airtran airways flight 144 atlanta to detroit, december 12 2007
Drawing on the plane, because my wrist and shoulder were hurting me too much to knit. Every time the markers got loud and scratchy on the page the guy next to me would cringe a little with his hand cupped sort of half over his ear. But I was driven crazy the whole flight by restraining myself from craning over to see what he was writing in his notebook (pages and pages!), so we're even.
I can never get a good picture coming in over Detroit, partly because we're now flying a lot lower and partly because I'm just too! excited! to be there.
Last night's supper, the reward I've been talking about for days (oh, my poor long-suffering students and colleagues): real Lebanese food, made by real Lebanese people. None of that Southern American falafel on a Greek pita with shredded carrot and purple cabbage nonsense.
And here's me and miss Cleo today on the back porch, enjoying some early morning snow before it all melted off:

And Cleo says, "oh great, you finally let me outside and LOOK at it!"
Welcome home!

Yay, home! Also, it is 7:59am here in Dallas and my tummy is growling, craving some real Lebanese food made by real Lebanese people. That is some great food pr0n there, chica!

I love the detroit at night pic. It kind of looks like a plaid, shimmery fabric.

That food looks fantastic. Welcome back to cold, snowy weather. We just got about 10 inches lastnight. No school today, woo-hoo!

I like the picture of the Detroit. It looks a little like a huge bolt of felted material. Colourful lines on black. Very cool.
Hey, I love your blog! I happened across it via Google. You're beautiful and your style is inspiring.
