oddly enough, my ipod let me down during depeche mode’s “never let me down again.” i had to call my dad and have him ask the internet how to restart a frozen ipod. apparently you toggle the hold switch, and then press down on the menu and enter keys for ten seconds. it worked.

i’ve been taking a lot of photos and posting them to flickr; you can see them here. most of them are better than this one.

so far internet access is spotty at best; at the moment i’m sitting in front of an internet cafe in las cruces. on the bright side, lack of internet access has forced me to write about ten pages so far.
