summer skin

hellooooo. this past week has had beautiful weather and it couldn't make me more happy. i have so many photos to share but unfortunately that will have to be postponed until my iphoto decides to work or i figure out how to fix it! a lot from the gay rights counter protest against westboro baptist church, if you haven't heard about westboro and their beliefs led by fred phelps, it is definitely worth checking out. you can see thier website here, the title (god hates fags) pretty much sums it all up. they didn't show up to their own protest (against the production of Rent at Temple for its homosexual content) but 1000+ Temple students against them did, it ended up being a good time. the next day me and some friends had a barbeque in our 1940 courtyard; had the hammock set up outside, grilled, painted, and enjoyed the weather. grilled pineapple has now become a favorite summer food of mine.. sooo good . that night i had a tough choice between two shows, Major Lazer or Easy Star All Stars. definitely was a difficult choice considering my indecisiveness and having to choose between digital reggae and reggae/ska type covers of Radiohead, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd, both equally worth checking out! i ended up choosing the latter, Easy Star. It was a good show and they are absolutely talented and creative - but i found myself wishing i chose Major Lazer. the crowd wasn't the best but it was a good night none the lessss. the rest of the week was spent doing the usual, i managed to get home for easter to see the fam and gather some new art supplies and bring my film camera down.. cannot wait to get in the darkroom again. and on to this week.. the weather definitely does not help my focus skills but the mood it puts me in is worth it. i've been swamped with work and apartment searching but all is good. if everything goes as planned i will have some very,very,very exciting news to share with you soon. wish me luck! xo

ALSO.. i met the two cutest puppies today.. pitbull, rottweiler, german shepard mixes named Calvin and Klein. adorable and only 75$(insane)!! i cant wait any longer to get one of my own.
