arrival

I made it obviously, I even have a new piece of cardboard for all of you, but I havent unpacked enough to get an image of it and upload it--this might happen tonight or tomorrow. So far I have seen many small house lizards, some really big flying cockroaches (that are more cute and clumsy than gross), two brown recluse spiders (in my new studio!), a live tiger (on campus @ LSU...), and many people with peanut butter-thick southern accents. I think this should prove to be an interesting time down here.
