My coworker allie had an art show recently, and it was great! the artist shwing downstairs was pretty interesting too. The food selection was awesome. I found out while I as there that 464 has their own magazine called spark... i looked through it and it was great. I can't wait to go back and buy it.

Allie's family was there, or at least part of it, i think? They were great! lots of work people showed up, but i missed a lot of them since i got their early and left early. Rita, Michael and I hung out at her place for a few hours before heading home... It was a great night.

I actually ended up doing a lot that day... I went to a family BBQ (at which i took no photos!) went to a rooftop party at the Westbrook apartments in buffalo... that's what these photos are from. The view atop the city was crazy! It was so beautiful. The only thing that was a problem was that because of the smoke from the fireworks, you couldn't see them that much from where we were. i tried to take video of the finales across the city, but it was pointless really.

After that I went home for a short bit and sat around... Then the urge to dance came over me. it was really almost an emergency. So despite not being able to find a single dance partner i went out anyways and danced my head off.

I can't believe i got no pictures until Rita and I were leaving.

I had a great time. I drove up with Rita and we had a lot of fun together... I don't really have much camping equipment but luckily I was covered and had a tent to stay in. I can't believe how muddy and rainy it was! We made the best of it anyways.

Thanks to everyone who pulled together and made it a fun time. It was a great time, well spent with wonderful people, and I got the chance to meet even more wonderful people that i will hopefully see again in the future.

had some beautiful days and moved plants around the house.... moved some outside onto the porch and played with the bunny.

been kind of reeavaluating my ife and what i want and kind of coming up short of answers. I'm not sure what i'll pursue with lanuages but it's what i'm good at. I want to write more.

been procrastinating on the letter to brandy, but i'll try to just sit down with it and write it up so i can finally post more about my trip.

I've had such a pathetic lack of money. it's been a little scary at times, when i look in the fridge and there's nothing in it, but i manage to eat. having worked just one day this week because of having off is freaking me out about rent and bils. shut off notices...

i'll pull through and figure it out. I always do. :)

went to see Tanya's bf, James Dean, open with his band Armageddon Party, for Early Attic, local band having a CD release party. we missed Armageddon Party, but Early Attic was great. lose/win, i guess ...

Tanya and i went back to her place and talked over beers until the sun was coming up. I missed her...

i miss a lot.
