ok. i realize that it is the middle of the night, and i've had so little time with my pillow the past several days that it's probably forgotten my name by now, but i have my reasons for still being up. i went to denison's show at schuba's tonight and took a ton of pictures, which i'm sifting through right now. i have decided that my nikon coolpix was an excellent investment, although i still haven't figured out the manual settings. i'm so glad i had my camera in time for denison's shows. i had a lot of fun taking the pictures. it's great because i don't have to use the flash even in low light situations. i really dislike using the flash, esp. on performers.

there is an incredible storm brewing out there--the winds must be gusting at > 30 knots. the sound of the rushing wind outside is like that of crashing waves on the ocean beach. it's kind of eerie at this hour. it sounds like a really lonely giant. there is some major convective activity going on in the skies tonight. i'd hate to be a plane out there right now.
