It's rainy and cold again here. Actually, it's kind of nice at night—with the temperatures dipping into the low fifties—to sleep with the windows open and listen to the rain while a cool breeze blows into the apartment. I've been sleeping really well, although that also might be due to the fact that I've been working twelve hours a day. Last night I didn't call it quits until after three, and I was up again at eleven today working some more.


Rainy days in Ufa just won't go away

By the time I post this message, all of the photos from the 2008-2009 album should be working. Feeling inspired by the fact that I'm finally able to post photos again, I went through and fixed some of the problems in my other albums—especially photos in the Crimean, Russian, and Turkish albums which wouldn't expand when clicked on, or which wouldn't expand into a new window. Once I finish the article I'm working on, I also hope to organize the last two albums from my scanned photos, which are still just a mess of shots that haven't been put into order or properly captioned.

Anyway, I'm about to sit down to lunch but hopefully I'll have a chance to hit the Post Office later today in order to update the site. If you see this message, that means I'll have done it.
