This is one of the last (and only) pictures of me and my favorite toy, in this last period of my life. My VTR was good to me and i was good to it. I had fun, and now it's someone else's turn. I finally saw my bike off to a nice couple from cheeseheadland last saturday, may 27th. The guy who was supposed to buy it fell off the face of the earth about 2 weeks before, probably (and hopefully) never to be seen or heard from again. That's ok though- i needed to sell and be done with this. Maybe someday the few pictures i do have of me and my baby will serve to prove to future generations that i did indeed have a motorcycle and loved every minute of riding it. So long, my sweet ride, after 4 good years together.... *sigh*......
Besides selling my motorcycle i've been up to other fun activities such as visiting with friends Catherine and Elijah, who were recently in town from St. Louis. Then, Laura came to visit this weekend from D.C. It's nice to see people during summertime visits; it makes me feel like i should be somewhere, and that i am somehow the stagnant, stationary one. Well, i guess i'll get my chance to move far away soon enough- which will be sometime in the first couple weeks of August.
*Happy 23rd birthday Catherine! Hope you're having a great time in Thailand and all that traveling went smoothly.
*A congratulations to my cousin Laura who will be getting her high school diploma this wednesday evening! Way to go!
*Another announcement is my cousin Eric's cd release party this friday night at the Varsity Theatre in dinkytown! It is so exciting! If you can make it, you should check them out! www.thealarmistsband.com
On another happy note, i am loving my research intern position at the U; i'm learning all sorts of fun, nerdy things that will help me now and later throughout my grad studies and eventually professional life. I'll have to post some sweet pics related to my internship soon, such as the map im researching and pics of me in the 'Bell reading room', which modeled on 19th century scholarly-looking reading libraries in which many of the western, modern world's earliest scholars may have studied and collected.
That's the update!
