I won’t commit to this, but today would be an excellent day for me to bring my camera with me everywhere I go. We have about 3 or 4 inches of new snow from yesterday/last night and in 48 hours it will probably all be gross or disappear.
WatchThis is my Tumblr Christmas Present to everyone. It’s Sufjan performing on top of Memorial Hall in Cincinnati. This video has been cheering me up a lot for the past few months and now I am sharing it on my blog for everybody.

I struggled last night through my first attempt at high speed photography. But, whatever, I decided I would post these pictures anyway. This is an indoor team that my friends have.

Today I bought a box of colored pencils and an eraser and tape. It cost 14 LE 75 P which is like 3 dollars or something. I wanted them for a project that we’re making at work. I wonder if I’m allowed to take my work with me when I leave? People always talk about it saying it’s against the rules. In Egypt there are not very many rules and people don’t follow them.
