Throwing off the perspective

For my birthday, Bryant gave me a memory card reader,* which meant that for the first time since the free one-month trial of Super Cell Plan that came with my new phone back in February, I could get pictures from my phone. Here's what I've got:

3.1.07: Views from the back and front porches and of my buried car.

3.30.07: Spanish tortilla. I served this at the party last night, cut into bite-sized cubes.

4.4.07: Last snow of the season... I think... and ice crystals on my front window.

4.6.07: Skillet fiesta tacos, with brown rice and fresh cilantro.

4.9.07: I love food.

4.18.07: Helicopter over campus during the bomb threat in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy.

5.8.07: Spring in Uptown.

6.3.07: High Infidelity at the Taste of Des Plaines during my summer job training near Chicago.

6.05.07: Fabulous vegan food at the Chicago Diner, with the cool kids.

7.3.07: The house across the street, being remodeled.

7.4.07: Fourth of July and fireworks from the Stone Arch Bridge.

7.8.07: Finally, the chair!

7.21.07: Romantica at the Fallout Art Fest, a cool neighborhood street fair/block party that pretty much surrounded my house, and people dancing to the music (including the little girl in the yellow shirt, eating watermelon).

7.28.07: One of my favorite 5-year olds of the summer, decorating my chalkboard with a muscle robot while I talked to his mom. He told me it was okay if I needed to erase the board for my next class, since I had taken a picture.

7.28.07: My neighbor, still working on his house.

8.28.07: The collapsed bridge, as seen from the Guthrie Theater.

I sadly didn't open any presents until after the party, or I might have shot some pictures during it. Friends did, though, so hopefully I'll be able to share some of them later. It was, in fact, a good time, despite the fact that none of my blog readership made it.

* ...and a pasta machine! Do you really need another excuse to come visit me?
