Womp womp.

Uh oh, I've forgotten to write down memories of my life, and now they've been forgotten. I always remember to actually record thoughts and little moments because when I find myself wondering "where has this month/week/year gone??" This is the place I'm supposed to go to find out.

I suppose it's been really amazing July, from what I can remember. Not that I was drunk and blacked out, no really I wasn't, but time just moves so fast that I can hardly keep up. I spent the last three weekends away from home, camping (Jul 2-4), in Philadelphia on the world's greatest trip with less than 24 hours of planning (Jul 7-14), and visiting Arcosanti, as a friend described as "a hippie paradise that looks like Luke Skywalker's aunt and uncle's". That's EXACTLY what it is (Jul 16-18). Between all the craziness of getting lost in the woods (which was not too fun BTW, but I'll spare you the miserable details), spontaneous cross-country flights, smoking in a swimming pool teetering on the edge of a cliff, and countless other adventures that are leaking from my memory by the minute, being home has become something of an exotic thing lately.

Having been home only in downtime between long days interning and fast weekend adventures, it feels so good to just sit down and be at home. The smell of my dish soap and the feel of my bed are things that I can't describe, but it's intoxicating and probably just like Martha Stewart always says but no one ever listens, "It's a good thing". I love my apartment! :)

So for today, I went to work as usual, and worked on a column and some doors. Quite mundane, quite regular. We had thursday meeting, like always, and it was so gloomy that I could hardly stay awake. It's monsoon season, and the clouds are getting so heavy but it refuses to rain. The dam at Tempe Town Lake broke a few days ago, and the lake was absolutely drained when I saw it riding the bus today. Weird stuff. It's like the world is hating on Tempe, taking all the water and putting it in the air to make the 115 degree weather seem even hotter. Yes, it is possible. TGFAC, I always say. Thank god for air conditioning.
