Shakespeare’s Birthday

This was the front of our wed­ding invitations:

Just in time for Valentine's Day...

…Love is not love
Which alters when it alter­ation finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! It is an ever-fixèd mark,
That looks on tem­pests and is nev­er shaken;
It is the star to every wan­der­ing bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, though his height be taken.

In case you’re wor­ried that I was all squidgy and roman­tic, they said, inside, “RSVP or else”. You can do any­thing when you make your own invitations.

Remains of Earth Day

So yes­ter­day there were a bunch of peo­ple on cam­pus, cel­e­brat­ing Earth Day. Today there was a sculp­ture left behind, and I can’t hon­est­ly tell if there’s a state­ment being made by the sculp­ture or not. It looks to my non-con­nois­seur’s eye like some­one threw a bunch of small objects and bits of string in the air, and on the way down it all col­lid­ed in such a way that the strings tied them­selves around the objects. Then it all kind of land­ed on some twigs stuck in the ground. Sort of like a rever­sal of time’s arrow, a denial of entropy.

If I remem­ber my cam­era tomorrow–and if some­one has­n’t removed the art projects–I’ll take some pho­tos, so you can see what I mean.
