ah, maps

thanks to a wired blog post i found out about the strange maps blog, which i need to explore a bit more. i have always loved maps. and maps that are reworked to make art or bizarre connections? all the better.

but look! i'm living in holland again! and belarus is alaska; i've always wanted to go to alaska! i guess vanuatu didn't equate well to any of our states, alas...

in totally unrelated news, my hands are on the healing up quite nicely. on friday (due to groggyheaded clumsiness) i sliced up both hands (mostly my right) in several places; i was bleeding profusely and even got lightheaded from the trauma. writing and typing has actually been quite painful. today is the first day since The Maiming that i've had full use of my right hand. the wounds don't look pretty but, thanks to the profuse application of aloe, i don't think they'll scar. much.
