our summer swing jam was a success - we had around 20 people at the pool party and around 55 at the swing dance that evening. there were quite a few from A&M that we'd never seen before! very exciting! :)
a couple of nights ago i got an urge to start painting again. it took me two hours to figure out what to paint, a half hour to sketch out two tulips and transfer them to watercolor paper, and then an hour and a half or so last night to paint one. i think i'm going to like this series. i scanned in my bird series also - you can find the birds and the tulips on my watercolor page as they are finished.
other than that, i've been traipsing to houston on sundays, entertaining a swing dancer moving from DC, going to dinner with friends, griping about my data comm class (iew), publishing the august issue of mays business online, designing a new student site for the college, and ...that's all. isn't that enough?
i have to share as well - i've been reading the love poems of elizabeth and robert browning, especially "sonnets from the portuguese."
...Fire is bright,
Let temple burn, or flax; an equal light
Leaps in the flame from cedar-plank or weed:
And love is fire. And when I say at need
I love thee. . . mark! . . . I love thee - in thy sight
I stand transfigured, glorified aright...
Who wouldn't wish for the type of love that prompts an outpouring like that from the soul?
