Here's a bit of something:

Two things today, but I think I'll consolidate them down into one post. Firstly, I've realized that I haven't included any pictures of the subway. So I thought I would, especially for all of you folks in places where an effective mass transit system is only a vague sort of filmy dream. Like unicorns. I say this without scorn, because up until about a month ago I was mass-transit-deficient myself. So I still think the fact that I get to ride around on the subway daily is pretty dang cool. Yeah.

So in the spirit of sharing the coolness that is the MBTA, here's a picture of the station where I got on today to come back to my apartment. This is what it looks like before the train came in:


And here's what it looked like when the train arrived:


You can't really get a sense of it in the picture, but the Red Line trains are wonderfully long. And sleek. And pretty shiny too. Cool, eh?

And just because I know you wanted to see me with my back against a tiled wall down in the subway, here's...er...a picture of that:


Secondly, I wrote summat today in a little notebook I had with me at the time. Which was really serendipitous because otherwise I would have felt like I had wasted my time going up to Cambridge this afternoon. But this way I got to record a little moment of a nice day. So here you go:

I take a step out the doors of the Cambridge Public Library and the smell of honeysuckle just brushes me, like the memory of a dream upon waking.

Today has necessarily been a bit of a waste; I didn't get to the Cambridge City Hall before it closed (early at noon--curses) to turn in a resume for a job I'd like.

But I find that it's nice to sit here, little notebook in hand, under the shade of a tree, penning my thoughts down in blue ink, while honeysuckle somewhere still pours its fragrance on the air.

I hope your days have been as lovely!
