Today I was uploading pictures from my camera onto my computer and it took FOREVER because I have never deleted any pictures of my memory card since I got the camera in May. I was waiting to see how many pictures I could fit on my memory card but after 800 plus photos I decided it was time to delete. And to post some of the pictures that I've taken.
This is Natan and I in front of the CSPAN bus that was at the Miami Book Fair when we went to see Salman Rushdie. Salman Rushdie was great and really funny and intelligent and good at answering crazy peoples questions (some guy asked, well not really asked but told him about an article in Newsweek that said Rushdie was warned not to fly on 9/11. Rushdie was just like uhh well there have been many times I wasn't able to fly but mostly because they didn't want me on the flight.) but the guy who was interviewing him was kind of a dope and in many cases didn't really ask questions just sort of brought up parts of the book he liked and trailed off. But I did get my copy of Midnight's Children signed, which I just finished reading a couple of days ago. One of the things I like most about Rushdie is his ability to interweave history and fiction into an exciting coherent and original idea. It's right up my alley. Midnight's Children tells the history of modern India through the narrator Saleem, who was born exactly at midnight on the the day of Indian independence and whose life parallels/influences the events of the whole country. (sidenote: Just now as I was writing this I was reading the description of the graduate class I want to take in the spring called Post-Modern world literature and this book is on the requirements. I didn't even realize it, but that means I've already read 3 or 4 of the readings. I have another one of the books, One Hundred Years of Solitude that I could start reading too. Man I will be so prepared.)

This is a delicious breakfast I made for myself one day. After Thanksgiving we had a surplus of potatoes so one day I made latkas and then these hash browns, which did not get as crispy as I wold have liked but they were still good.






And now what I really spend most of my time photographing; my cats!
Red loves going outside.














And he really loves to roll in the dirt.























He is even friends with my dog.











My other cat, Peter, is not as adventurous. He spends his days inside, he was obsessed with the Whole Foods bag for about two weeks.
