Podgora, Hrvatska 1: Please Invite Me Again

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.

European Children - A Comparison

If you are looking for something academic, sorry, I am not in the mood for anything serious.

Observations: This baby is Italian. I took this picture in the rich shopping area of Padua in June 2006. Notice the bib ready to catch drizzling spaghetti and meatballs with legs. He has a rat tail all'italiano, a smooth soccer stride, and a confident air about him.

Observations: This baby is French. I took this picture in those gardens by the Louvre that start with a T and rhyme with reverie in January 2006. Notice the creepy green chair, the inauspicious black crow, and the Alfred Hitchcock flock of birds. He seems uncomfortable in his situation, and now I ask myself, where are his parents?
