"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

« The Month of May Was Kind of Busy »

I am graduating in exactly two weeks.

I pulled into my spot behind my apartment and saw this guy. He practically jumped on the hood of my car.

And the next day I went to visit family in Virginia and got mesmerized by the reflective qualities of water.

I mean really mesmerized.

I watched my little step-brother dig for baby fiddler crabs.

We walked around while he used my camera to watch a hawk

get chased.

We went back to the beach. I don't know who these kids are.

We chilled

and chilled some more.

More birds. My mom took this one.

We had a good time. Scott's a ham.

And then I came back to Los Angeles, stayed sick in bed for ten days, lost my voice twice, acted in a Latin play as Dolia the clever slave, organized a concert of Musicàntica for the Italian Club, and got really behind in school work. Now, on the Sundance channel, Rome Open City is at the part when the Nazis have just arrived to arrest Francesco and Pina is going to run out after him only to be shot down in the street. I turned right to it. I love it when that happens.

Again, I am graduating in exactly two weeks.
