damp hair and a soaked jacket

That is what I had to live with today. Today wasn't a bad day, and I LOVE the rain, but I don't have proper rain attire (aka: shoes, jacket/hood, umbrella) so I braved the rain. I actually stuffed my jacket, socks, and shoes in the film negative dryer at the photo lab, while nobody was watching, but it didn't help much.

Speaking of photos, I tried to develop my Sufjan pictures, but none of them really came out. I think it was the fact that the light was different colors and my camera kept on wanting to use the flash....it's like the camera had a mind of it's own. It didn't want me to take pictures without the flash on, and now I really don't have a good picture of Sufjan. Actually, I do have one picture that's kinda blurry, but looks cool, so I might keep that one on my wall.

This wall has not developed yet, because I am not actually living in a room at the present time. But, I have managed to buy various posters, as well as take some good pictures. Also, I know that several people have walls dedicated to friends, and I have tried it before, but my pictures usually fall off the wall (i use tape). So if anyone knows a cheap method of applying pictures to a wall, comment me.

The strange urge has come over me to blog about my love for Sufjan Stevens (again). After going up to Nashville to see him and his Illinoise band, I have been listening to nothing but Sufjan. My favorites off of his Illinoise cd would have to be:

1. The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us!
2. Come On! Feel the Illinoise!: Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition/Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream
3. Concerning the UFO Sighting near Highland, Illinois
4. Casimir Pulaski Day
5. They are Night Zombies!! They are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!

If you think those song titles are weird, check out number 2 on the cd. So that is my favorite 5 of Sufjan, and soon, I might put my favorite Nickel Creek on here, for all of you to see.

So, my day has been fraught with danger and excitement! How about yours? I doubt that you can top my rain story. Yes, it is awesome....and I am making no sense at all right now, so I will sign off now. Good night to all and to all a good night!

What flavor works best? I am a fan of Cinnamon gum, but I would like to know if other flavours would better.
