the wool has been shed, …

scalp hair - the result of my new DIY haircut

… and i think i’m ready for the trip.

i’m leaving in less than 12 hours, and i just now finished (most of) the stuff i had to complete, which only leaves packing on my to-do-list.
sorry to everybody who i didn’t get back in touch recently – i’ve been extremely busy in the last two months.

update at 03:48: ok, now i’ve gotten into the packing mood, and i’m getting “i-gotta-pee”-excited. :-)

update at 09:50: it looks like 90 minutes of sleep aren’t even enough for dark circles around the eyes to develop…

i’ve been up since 05:45 today (after a somewhat short shut-eye), and this was my first (and extremely slow) train of thought:

    car reverses in our (very secluded) driveway. i look out the window

    “why is there a car backing up here at 05:45 in the morning?”

    “it could be peter picking me up for work, but he said he’d be here by quarter to six. don’t think he would be AN HOUR EARLY.”

    i look at the alarm clock: 05:45

    “05:45.”

    pause. looking out the window again.

    “05:45???”

    i actually go look at a memo i wrote to myself, which says “pickup: 05:45″.

    “05:45 IS quarter to six!”

the funniest group photo we ever made – titled “one at a time”:

the soundtrack is a song we recorded with this choir. i had to speed it up a little to fit, though.

stay tuned for related photos from a choir contest in bregenz/austria.

it’s too late for a late dinner now, so i just had an extremely early breakfast.

all i’m going to say is that i decided to keep them in chronological order (as opposed to sorting them topically).

planets and stars in scale – it’s nice to watch if you turn off the sound:

i took this photo in the blue hour, and i had a title for it before i even released the shutter:
