El Señor will take up most of my weekend, but I am kind of excited. Plus, here’s an awkward confession: I haven’t really read an entire book since HP7. Oops. So the weekend agenda is to

start and finish Sidney Kirkpatrick, Lords of Sipan in time for the Christopher Donnan lecture (!)
somehow force myself to start Einhard, The Life of Charlemagne

~~Art history~~ school is totally a love-hate thing, for me.

These two are already spoken for but ones like these and more will be for sale soon!

The Friday night match between AC Milan and Chelsea in Baltimore was my 1) first pro soccer match 2) first European soccer match and 3) my first time at M&T Bank Stadium. Chelsea won… but it was a great game.

We had really, really fantastic seats (6th row back!) thanks to Alex’s dad. It’s a drastically different experience from watching matches on TV or from behind the goal in the student section at school. I think RFK Stadium is next on the list for a DC-United v. Sounders match in September, and I’m pretty excited.

Photographing was difficult. I’m used to immobile objects, mainly, but I tried. The 105mm f/2.5 is the most reliable and the second longest lens I have, so I stuck with that throughout.

But first, a goofy group picture:

And then, a selection:

OMG Adorbz! of the Day: Panda Bread!

Make some.

I have no words. Okay, except: why didn’t I see this at Disney? After all, I always see a ton of stormtroopers at the Renaissance Festival…

I’m back! And, I really like this video, because the dog and I have very similar eyebrows. Plus, the unnecessarily epic insertion of Mussorgsky’s Great Gates of Kiev is a nice touch. And then we have the old lady… a big thumbs up for Japanese television.

More on this later, but: I went to Amsterdam and took a bunch of pictures. See them here!

Julius:: Your pardon; did I break thy concentration? Continue! Ah, but now thy tongue is still. Allow me, then, to offer a retort. Describe Marsellus Wallace to me, pray.
Brett:: What?
Julius:: What country dost thou hail from?
Brett:: What?
Julius:: Thou sayest thou dost hail from distant What! I know but naught of thy strange country What. What language speak they in the land of What?
Brett:: What?
Julius:: English, base knave, dost thou speak it?
Brett:: Aye!
Julius:: Then hearken to my words and answer them! Describe to me Marsellus Wallace!
Brett:: What?; (JULIUS presses his knife to BRETT's throat)
Julius:: Speak 'What' again! Thou cur, cry 'What' again! I dare thee utter 'What' again but once! I dare thee twice and spit upon thy name! Now, paint for me a portraiture in words, If thou hast any in thy head but 'What', Of Marsellus Wallace!
Brett:: He is dark.
Julius:: Aye, and what more?
Brett:: His head is shaven bald.
Julius:: Hath he the semblance of a harlot?
Brett:: What?; (JULIUS strikes with his blade and BRETT cries out)
Julius:: Hath he the semblance of a harlot?
Brett:: Nay!
Julius:: Then why didst thou attempt to bed him thus?
Brett:: I did not!
Julius:: Aye, thou didst! O, aye, thou didst! Thou sought to rape him like a chattel whore! And sooth, Lord Wallace is displeased to bed With aught save Lady Wallace, whom he wed.

This is the time when everything changes—when we have to put in the work for our goals and dreams… for love, friends, family, and the not so distant future <3
