a warmed house.

a snapshot of sophie's and my apartment-warming party this past weekend. Simply a mellow time with good people and good spirit. 

I like watching how people move. Some movements are relaly subtle, others explosive. Slowing this down just made sense to me.

let's go sugarin'!

the sap is a runnin' so we had to get tappin'. certainly more posts about the bennington sugarbush to come.

music is richard thompson. place is the bennington sugarbush. people are excited for our first run.

so this is college?

to those of you not familiar with the bennington college social bubble, this whole thing about me living off campus is a pretty big deal. The only people who are allowed to live off campus are students who are accepted into the co-op (an endeavor not for the faint of heart), over 25, or married. It's been great so far but there are some detractions... getting to campus for social events is just... hard.

this was one such case. a welcome-back gathering in a campus dorm room. I have never really done one of these. Not my usual vlogging preference but there was action to be caught on tape.

music is amon tobin. place is a college dorm room. people are fun.

make way for ducklings.

these guys were a little out of place... I honestly don't know how they got why they were but the poor things were eat snow off the road. :( perhaps petting zoo escapees?

music is architecture in helsinki. place is n. bennington. quack.


end of burlington.

my last night in burlington deserved a post. I'm back in Bennington now, living it up in my apartment (video to come soon), overwhelmed with classes and senior projects, and generally just looking for exciting adventures.

music is andrew bird. people is mr. jones and wonderful far-flung friends of amy's. place is 'round burlington.
