out of the black, into the blue

i cried whilst voting. and i went back after taking this picture to darken the ink even more.

as i left school on november 4th, this was the view. it was only 7pm EST. i went home, blared david bowie, and jumped on the trampoline.

a window on capitol hill that night:

and the lusty lady, november 5:

...later november 5, as i was going home, the bus i was on was sideswiped by a lexus SUV in the intersection of 3rd and battery. the driver of the vehicle took off on foot. the lexus was still running, windsheild wipers on. the 8 or so of us on the bus had to stay aboard until we could give our personal information. the police arrived with a tracking dog. when we were finally allowed to leave, the tow truck was just pulling up.

it has rained nearly 5 inches over the last 3 days... and all i can think about is how fucking wonderful everything smells. the world is shiny and new.
