And then I came home



Updating was not a priority while we were over there, but with the recent trend in blogging among my peers I have decided to be cool and revive the blog. (Shout out to my one and only reader, Martha Fitz) For those of you that know me, you know that I am desperately trying to find a way to get back to Europe. Right now, more so England. And here is why.
Beth Ditto (she is American but lives in London, so I would have to go over there to befriend her. She is the lead singer of the Gossip, certified awesome.) Could she be Calcutta's ticket to stardom? You never know.

Oh, and the accents and snobbery that come with England are "pro"s and make me want to go there all the more. I like snobby people, and so do you. Everyone does.

You all need to be aware of Uffie. She is French, she raps, and now she is your new favorite.

So, as you know I am wasting away in class this summer. Thus, I spend all my free time at home, studying. The only upside is I get to hang out with this kiddo all the time.

You should all read Folsom's The Mad Ones. It is about the Gallo brothers, and quite a fun read.





After I finished it, I resolved that if I had a time machine and a desire to get married, then I would go back c. 1955 and he would be it. Too bad.
I was going through a crate in my dad's closet full of his old cameras. He usually wasn't taking pictures, but when he remembered to bring his camera along, it was almost comical how many pictures he would take. At a pi phi dad's day with Elise, he was mistaken for the party pics guy; we have a pile of pictures of random people lying around somewhere in my house. While most of the cameras are probably not worth much, there are two that I am very exited about. The first is a Polariod with 2 packs film in the case. (As you are probably aware, polariod stopped making their film.) The second is a Minolta SRT 101. (c.1960-70, I am not sure on its exact age.) I want to learn how to use it and trash my digital camera in favor of taking real pictures.
I think I will go put in Fight Club for the third time this week and do some paper writing. It is thrilling, really, and I know you are waiting with bated breath for the next post, I promise to tell you all about my physics lab.
