There were horses fighting everywhere, and suddenly a waltz broke out. Who knew mustangs were such magnificent and graceful dancers. And fortunately, not a bit camera shy.
Thanks for stopping by

Looking south towards the Sears Tower. Amazing how quickly the storm front passed through and the blue sky reasserted itself.
The River Lynher, also known as the St Germans River, rises on Bodmin Moor and joins the River Tamar just to the south of Saltash. It then flows into the sea via Plymouth Sound. At low tide the river is barely more than a meandering stream.
A sight now consigned to history?

After a couple of sinkings in the Albert Dock, I believe that this service has been suspended.
Shot this down at lower wacker dr. If you live in Chicago, you know how hard it is to get a shot there, but i worked some magic and found a place to shoot...
Thanks Sonny for helping out!!!

day two-hundred-and-three. washroom wackness.
WARNING: LONGEST ENTRY EVER.
maybe worth the read?
so..i had the most wacky/bizarre/exhausting/incredibly frustrating day EVER.
here goes:
since i'm paranoid, i ALWAYS shut my door to my bedroom in my apartment and lock it..because i'm paranoid.
and i distinctly remember doing so last night as well.
lately i've been SO tired..i know i say that a lot, but this time...it was BAD. i could barely hold my eyelids up.
after i went to bed i woke up to my alarm and it was 6:33am...my alarm was set for 5am..how is it possible for me to sleep through that indistinguishable excruciating sound??! it's NOT. i don't know how that happened. then as i was turning it off, i turned my head and saw that my bedroom door was WIDE open...i FREAKED. i was quite though, my heart and body felt..i can't even explain the feeling. but i was actually more calm than i expected i ever would have been in a situation like that. then suddenly felt this sharp pain in my shoulder..it felt as if someone had pricked me. it was REALLY painful. put it was just like one little spot..like a prick. at that point, i thought someone had broken into my apartment, and tranquilized me..and that's why i slept through my alarm.
then i was looking for SOMETHING, ANYTHING to protect myself...of course, there was absolutely nothing that could've helped me..not even a pencil.
so i just realized that i couldn't do anything about it now, and i got up and looked around but no one was there, and nothing was gone or ransacked.
but HOWW did my door get UNLOCKED and come wide open?????????? ugggggggghh.
then when i got to school, i went to the library to watch cultural psych and pick up some cohen books. i looked the books up in the catalog, but still didn't understand how to find them, since i've never searched for a book in there before. and i asked information and they gave me this pamphlet telling where the books would be located ect.
but they were renovating so it said the book would be on the fourth floor, and if not there, check the third.
..so i walked up the stairs to the third floor..then there were no more stairs..i looked all around, couldn't find them. so i just got on the elevator thinking that was the only way to it...no "4" button...i asked the girl in the elevator with me if she knew if there was a fourth floor and she said she didn't think so..so i went back up to the third floor..and i found stairs!! so i walked UP the stairs of the third floor to get to the fourth..right?? i get up there...it looks EXACTLY like the first floor...i was so confused i probably looked like a lost soul turning in circles, wide-eyed, i was thinking..maybe they just laid them out the same way..but then i looked and there were the doors to the outside...i was on the first floor.....
after having walked UP stairs to the fourth.....i'm still freaked out about that.
so left utterly confused. and thinking i was going insane.
after class i went to half-price to get a book there, because i have to have two for class, and i found one then i was looking for another one and these two HUGE kids/greasy teenage boys come stand behind me and talk to each other about how they like my dress.....i turn around and say "thanks" and then one of them starts telling me about how he loves to play video games all the time and that when he gets to choose his character he is always a girl and wears a dress so he can blow people up in dresses..or something like that??? wwwwwwwwhattt the **f word** ssssseriously??! and then they just stood by me being incredibly obnoxious. so i left.
THEN i decided to try to find the library close to my apartment because i knew there was one. but of course, my internet wouldn't work, so i called my mom and she looked it up, but looked up the wrong one. so i just drove down montrose and found it. but there was NO parking lot. and all the parking was parallel. i thought i remembered how to..but apparently not..or the universe was just against me because i would ALMOST get it...but not. then i finally found one that i could pull straight into..but then i looked up and there was a no parking sign..so i drove around and tried like ten billion times to park..no luck.
i went back home in frustration because i NEED those books for tomorrow. i googled "how to parallel park" it was exactly what i had been doing...i walked out of my apartment and drove back over there to attempt another shot..no luck. drove BACK to my apartment and walked...but i took the wrong street because i have so much anxiety walking alone/crossing streets..so it was a horrible experience winding around all of these back-roads. and whenever i was going to ask somebody they would sharply turn RIGHT before i got to them...i EVENTUALLY found it. but then there was a sign "library door -->" so i went "-->" NO DOOR?! ugh.
so i was walking back and fourth..checking the sign...walking "-->" checking the sign, walking "" people probably thought i was some mad crazy person. so then i saw this big black heavy-looking metal door so i thought...maybe that's it...but...it doesn't seem like it..i tried to push it, it wouldn't open. i finallllyyyy found this small itsy-bitsy passage way that led to the door...i went in and inquired about a library card...i had to have some sort of proof. i JUST moved here, my license is from the other town i lived in and i hadn't received any bills yet..and i certainly didn't bring my lease with me.
so after all that trouble i walked back home...........FRUSTRATED.
it's like that point of frustration where you just cry.
and i got stuck in the median walking back home ALL these cars and psycho people passing me, staring at me...i had to stand there for what seemed to be an eternity...i finally got across.
then i just took my photo in the washroom after all of that.
i was afraid someone was going to walk by me and..once again..think i was crazy. they didn't though (:
just a reallllllllllllly weird/frustrating day. to say the least.
