Sunset


Sunset, originally uploaded by firemaplegirl.

The sunset last night was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was illuminating the clouds from underneath, and at one point it looked like the sky was upside down. Camera phone shots from a moving vehicle can't do it justice.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Sadly, most of the contents are to me, from me. At least I know I'm getting something that I want.

I wish I was able to use electronics during the first few minutes of the flight. The sunlight on the Columbia is absolutely gorgeous. You'll just have to take my word for it though.

Sitting in Cramer waiting for my Econ classroom, I looked up and
spotted this sign. I'm not quite sure why it's there, which makes it
all the more intriguing.

OSU

In person, this vehicle is clearly dedicated to Ohio State. From the photo, it's much more ambiguous, so I'm going to pretend it's rooting for the better OSU.

My helmet after the ride home from school. It is fairly water repelent, so you can imagine what my clothes look like, especially since I didn't have my raincoat. Thank goodness I'm not wearing a white t-shirt!

(In)efficiency?


(In)efficiency?, originally uploaded by firemaplegirl.

I'm a little confused as to why a package would go from Pheonix to Kentucky when it's enroute to Portland. Surely UPS has a PNW regional hub. Then again, almost anything sent FedEx visits Memphis, so who knows?

Unhelpful Hints

1) This sign is visible only after you have parked your car and are in the stairwell. 2) Rarely are there multiple open spots in the structure: you are lucky if you happen to catch someone leaving. 3) On the rare occasions that you do have a selection of parking spots, the structure is so dead that you don't need to worry about it. 4) There are no pedestrian walkways in the darn structure.

It's a little hard to tell because of the shadows, but that is a gaping hole in the middle of Broadway.

Mixed Tape

My car has no cd player, as a result I end up listening to a lot of radio. However, the radio was really annoying me today. I have a few cassettes to use for these instances. I've listened to The Clash tape quite a bit lately, so I was ready for a change. I looked at my tapes and found this:
Mixed Tape, originally uploaded by firemaplegirl.

Yeah, that's a mixed tape circa 1994. It's complete with the clicks between tracks where the tape was paused and restarted. I'm not quite sure what my teenage brain was thinking when I put it together. Artists on it include: Aerosmith, Tori Amos, Stone Temple Pilots, Bon Jovi, Gin Blossoms, Jewel, Boyz II Men, Garth Brooks, Joan Osborne, All 4 One, and Selena. That's a pretty eclectic group, and the tracks don't seem to be in any particular order. The really interesting part: I owned all of those albums at that point on time!

It's hard to tell in this photo, but the line snakes all the way back to where I am standing. I'm hungry and wish everyone else was back at where ever they were during the summer.
