Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Windows

Cory and I were in Austin this whole day. We spent a good part of it with Conor and Amanda (his friends we were visiting) and went out and met up with his sister, dad, and brother that night. Somehow, I only managed to take pictures of Conor and Amanda's front door the whole day.

Photographer fail!

I comfort myself by remembering that it was raining for a good part of the day, but that's not really a very good excuse. It didn't rain all day, after all.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Country Sunset

Cory and I drove down to Austin to visit some of his friends a couple of weekends ago. I took the photo for the day when we stopped somewhere along the way for gas. I wish I'd noted where we were.

Here are some more shots from our trip south. Leaving Dallas:

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Six: Freeway

Driving home from Cory's I had the opportunity to take some photos of the freeway and the incoming storm. Thanks traffic jam!

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Five: Stage Lights

Cory and I went to see Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm play at the Granada in Dallas. It was an awesome show.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Four: Red & Yellow, Kill a Fellow

This was the day I gave final exams for the semester. For me, since I'm giving and not taking the exams, that just means I had 5 full hours of time to sit quietly and read while students wrote their exams.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Three: Beer

I finally got to hang out with my friend Mary. We went to Bentley's and had some beer. This is Shiner.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Two: Skylight

I went to the mall with Cory, his dad, and his brother Jeffrey to see the new Star Trek movie. It was pretty good. I don't think it was as awesome as most everybody else seems to, but I did enjoy it a great deal.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty-One: Time

Okay, so I got really behind in posting my Project 365 photos. I did keep up with taking them every day, though, so expect some catching up over the next couple of days.

This is Cory's watch on Cory's new desk in Cory's apartment. I guess I was waiting for him to come home from work or something.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty: Partial Sophie

Sophie makes a good model, even if only in part.

Day Two Hundred and Nineteen: Plaid

It took me a while to get dressed today. This is part of a skirt that was tried on and then rejected as not quite right for the last day of class.

Day Two Hundred and Eighteen: Light & Motion

This is the ceiling light and fan in Cory's apartment. It was another rainy day when I didn't feel like venturing out to take pictures.

Day Two Hundred and Seventeen: Criss Cross

I took this photo while driving through Dallas. I was feeling very frustrated by the lack of available public transportation from the mid-cities into Dallas and by the traffic in Dallas.

Day Two Hundred and Sixteen: Innards

I am considering selling my piano and upgrading to a digital piano or nice keyboard. I have emotional ties to my piano because I've played it my whole life and it was my mom's even before I was born, but it is in pretty bad shape. It's long past the point of being able to hold a tuning and the action on the keys is pretty sad. I barely play any more because it's just not really that enjoyable on this instrument.

I hope I can get at least a little bit of money for it so I can put that money toward an investment in a new instrument that I will want to play more often.

Day Two Hundred and Fifteen: Curve

I intended to spend today working at home, but instead I managed to spend it driving all around the metroplex and running errands instead. And now I'm very tired.

Day Two Hundred and Fourteen: Railing

Because it rained so much and so hard on this day, I didn't really get to take my camera out much. This is the railing outside Cory's apartment.


Later, we went out to Maggiano's for dinner and had a wonderful time.

Day Two Hundred and Thirteen: Empty

Cory and I went to Cafe Brazil for an early dinner after I took my last comprehensive exam (in feminist theory). We were almost the only people there.
