So, I went hiking for the first time of the season. Unfortunately, since it's been raining non-stop, I had to resort to a hike in the cold cold rain. I did pretty well until about 75% up the mountain when my hip started acting up for someone unknown reason. I continued the rest of the way up and all the way back down.

so i walked by a mother and her two young daughters and overheard the mother saying, "it would be more convenient if we didn't have to wear clothes, because then we wouldn't have to do laundry."

yes it would. amen sister.

nudity is beatiful.

just kidding. well, sort of.

I am an X man!

That's right
My mom apparently rides motorcycles and wears hip bikinis
and my dad jams to Matisyahu

The Mind Matters release party went really well. After all our hard work, it was really awesome to be recognized by faculty and peers. (:

Somehow I woke up at 8:30 inspired to write my paper. I formulated some themes and sentences in my head while my eyes were still shut. Now I'm up to write them down.

I got a job teaching pharmacology (and tie dying and soccer) to high school students in New Haven for 6.5 weeks. I will have the rest of the summer for personal time, which is super.
I also got an awesome house.
I am super happy!

I'm designing traditional Noh (Japanese Medieval) costumes for the characters of the Quartet, because they challenge gender boundaries. In Noh theatre, women were traditionally played by men with elaborate masks and costumes. This should be interesting.

So, we'll probably get a house next year making up for previous sucky picks. (:

If any of you can think of movies that depicted a deja vu (or multiple) please let me know!

ps I'm finally done with editing for mind matters. (:

OMG. Geisha and Samurai course! oh, Japanese literature how I love you
