OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Located at N.W. 23rd and Blackwelder, it has long been a landmark in Oklahoma City. The statue in the foreground--"The Eternal Challenge"--is a witness of man's eternal search for knowledge. The girl carries a book, while the boy holds high the symbolic lamp of learning.
(The postmark on the back is a little hard to read, but the date looks like Sept. 21, 1964.)

SEQUOYAH AND WILL ROGERS BUILDINGS
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
These modernistic buildings, housing State and Federal offices, are a part of the Capitol complex. They are named in honor of Sequoyah, famous Cherokee Indian chief who invented the Cherokee alphabet, and Will Rogers, Oklahoma's favorite son and world-famous humorist. "The Avenue of Trees," a part of the landscaping, is made up of 77 trees; each tree represents one of Oklahoma's 77 counties.
(The postmark on the back--my aunt sent this to my grandparents while she was here for a visit--is dated Nov. 12, 1963. FWIW, the message mentions that the weather was in the 80s that day.)

SoonerCon 2008 Video (and other things)
Weather: Sunny, hot and a little humid (and we may get some more thunderstorms over the next few days).
Music: Nothing at the moment.
Mood: Restless and a little frustrated--mostly because Saturday night is when I usually hang out with my friends, but there's nothing going on tonight so I've been spending the evening trying to find other things to do and not being terribly successful. (There are plenty of things I need to do around the house, I just don't feel like doing any of them right now.)
What I've been doing lately (aside from the usual): I spent last weekend at SoonerCon 2008 and had a very good time (and I promise to post a con report and my con photos sometime in the next week). In the meantime, here's a video montage that someone else made with pictures she took at the convention:
