A Day in the Park
UCI has a cool, circular campus, and at the center sits Aldrich Park. I've seen early film footage and pictures of the campus before the trees grew much at all. It looked like a rolling grass hill with distant buildings surrounding it. Today the trees are much larger and the buildings hand behind layers of branches and leaves. I enjoy sitting on the edge of the park at a certain bench and listening to the wind in the trees while I pretend to read. Today I took some photos instead of pretending to read.

Wow, those are nice. How did you avoid all of the freshmen making out?
oh wait, Saturday. Say no more.
Yeah, even though it was Saturday there was a huge festival of some sort on the other side of the rock formation in the middle of the park. I rode by on my home but I couldn't figure out what it was all about.
Maybe it was a battleguard tourney. I visited a weekend once and some dudes were going at it with long wooden "swords." I had Monty Python running through my head the whole time ('tis only a flesh wound!)
awesome pictures, man. really cool. i especially like the one shooting up into the pine tree from below. it works great in b&w. are those... i was about to ask if they were digital or 35 mm, but then I stopped myself (because duh!). the purpose of said question was then to ask if you developed those yourself. i would then have gone on to say, you should do 35 mm and develop the pics yourself in a darkroom. you can do so many things with b&w 35 mm film in a dark room and it's really really fun. that's what i would have said.
(BONUS TRIVIA QUESTION: What is the fancy greek literary term for what I just did, ie, say that I'm not going to say what I'm now saying?)!!!!
Matt, I would love to use 35mm and a dark room someday. When I'm old I thin I will take a photography class at a Community College. Yet, by then we will all have cameras implanted in our eyeballs and nobody will take photos anymore.
As far as the literary term, I've forgotten. I actually was looking for that term a couple semesters ago but I never asked anyone. Educate me man, what is it?
Paralepsis!!!!!
Me thinks that is an infrequently used word. I recall that Dr. Cluff used it more than any other profe., perhaps it's more common in cuentos. It wasn't included on about three lists that I looked at form other universities, it's a great word though.
