okay, the october chills have got me. my mouth tastes of ginger and honey. oh well, at least i have books and lots of blankets to keep me company.

and finally, the rain.

i woke up to that welcome sound this morning, to gentle grey skies, instead of the harsh sunlight that usually greets me. i surprise even myself at how much i appreciate the change, as someone who lives for sunshine and gets mood swings depending on the weather. but today was beautiful in its quiet way, and it was a wonderful chance to stay in and read and write and not feel like i’m wasting away indoors.

it finally feels like fall is here. time for scarves and socks and sweaters! also, ive been having this craving for pumpkin. pumpkin cheesecake, my dad’s pumpkin pancakes. even that spice cake and pumpkin ice cream from chow. i think im gonna go to a pumpkin patch this year… havent done that since i was about seven :)

today,

three birds flew into our second-story window, and fell,

and died.

it was pretty much the most tragic thing ever.

i put up something at crystaljean.net and at /photography. neither are done but… it’s something!

i want to get around to posting some more photos of new york, but i’m tired. maybe tomorrow.

it’s october! it’s so hard to believe that we’re well on our way into fall. today was the first chilly day in a long time, and i loved it! i’ve missed wearing sweaters and scarves and fall/winter clothes. i miss seasons.

cloudy days once in awhile are good. sunny days are great for summer vacation and running outside and not having a care in the world, but cloudy days make me want to sit and think. and that is definitely needed too.

also, when is california gonna get some rain??

in other news than the weather, i took a little trip down to san diego this week and it was soo good to see everyone. i think i better stay away from sd because everytime i go back, i miss college a LOT. and all of the beautiful people who made it so wonderful. it’s such a surreal feeling going back though, because everyone being out of school makes us seem so.. out of our element. i suppose it will just take some adjusting to.

job hunting is… going. so far this week i got to go to abc/disney to scope it out and get my foot in the door, and then i got an interview offer with google! so i’m slightly more motivated to keep going…

oh, and i’m finally attempting to update the rest of this site. with hopefully a real home page and a photography gallery. should i make a photoblog? i’m afraid that i’ll just never update like before, since i haven’t really been taking that many pictures…
