This is the home of Caila Brown…

It was recently brought to my attention that I rarely update this blog.

To be honest, I forgot I had it.

While I wait for files to download, I’ll keep singing along to Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Florence and the Machine and write this.

Home, Let me come Home
Home is Whenever I’m with you
Home, yes I am Home
Home is wherever I’m with you

-Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, “Home”

So what’s new in my life? Um… I’m currently in NY, but will be heading back to Savannah sometime next week. In 2 weeks I’ll be starting my last quarter at SCAD (in the foreseeable future). This also marks my end in March as SCAD Radio’s General Manager, but I’m happy to see where the station will move forward.

I put together this last quarter. Wooo District Quarterly.

I plan to play a ton of Halo and COD in the next 24 hours, and hopefully finish Halo: Reach.

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to update my portfolio on here. I’ve done a lot of stuff this fall quarter that I’m really proud of, including a TON of prints (ok, like 6).

If you want to get together while I’m in NY (or while you’re in NY for a short time) PLEASE let me know. Just give me a call, you should have my number. If not, it’s on this website or on my Facebook page. Or send me a message or something and let me know. If we can’t get together now, I’ll be back for a short time in March.

Now to start thinking of New Years resolutions and planning Christmas dinner…and buy a Christmas tree! I know that we were behind on decorating, but we still had our trees up last week. No decorations to be seen here.

Alright, files are downloaded. Back to work!

Please download the following files if the projector is not working.

Every morning this summer (or at least, M-Th unless I get a ride) I will be hopping on the 6:30 or 7 am train from Stony Brook, followed by a bus ride from Jamaica to the Shops at Atlas Park.

Then I get to do it all over again at 5 pm.

Being an adult kind of sucks. But in some ways, it’s still like being a kid.

For instance.. I still never have the cereal I want. My dad still takes me out to lunch on weekends, and upon dropping me off somewhere always tells me to “Kick some ass.”

You don’t know how confusing that was as a twelve-year-old, and you were just going in to hand in an art project. Whose ass should be kicked? The project? The teacher? That annoying kid sitting in front of you?

But I digress. The reason for this blog topic is going to be a homage of sorts to the people I meet on my commute.

Today’s “Spotted” goes out to 3 people. I thought to grab a picture just a little too late, but next time I will have one.

The first 2 are members of the elusive pack called “I bring my bicycle on the morning train”. I applaud you, 2 girls who look like they would be more at home in California or Oregon. But they were wearing helmets and had pretty awesome bikes, so they get a mention for today.

The 3rd person is an enigma. He manages to combine something I love (cycling) with something I hate (Bluetooth). I have never seen this creature before, and I applaud his dedication to his phone call as he biked down Jamaica- next to the city buses that care even less than in Savannah.

An honorable mention goes to one of the high school students on the train. You sir, had a tray of cupcakes. I applaud your dedication in keeping them away from me.

In my very busy day, editing this audio gem made my life better.

The physical editing is awful, by the way. This is in preparation for more editing tomorrow, but I had to share the raw footage.
