This is an old image but I really love it. It's a photo I took from our rooftop when the trees were still full of fall leaves.

This one is on our balcony and an accurate depiction of the trees now.

I'm about to leave for a class at the Y but I just wanted to do my check in. I figure if I keep up one a week I'm in good shape and I missed last weekend.

Two more weeks of school! Yeyeyeyey!

All I've got left is studying hardcore for my final French exam and working on the rewrite of my play before the final class date. I can't believe my first semester here is almost over but I'm glad for it because I've needed a break.

Last week I invited a bunch of people over and then we headed over to Divan Orange. There were two French bands playing at the venue and both were very cute and dancey so it was well worth the evening. The first band dressed as sailors and the second band had three saxophone players.

On Sunday I checked out a show I've been waiting for with Ryan and Emilia. We saw the band tUnE-YaRdS and The Dirty Projectors. I didn't know the last band too well but they were pretty fun; however, I went for the first one. Merrill Garbus is the lady behind the music. She loops sounds and beats right in front of you and has a powerful voice that vibrates to your core. Just check her out for yourself on her myspace - she's well worth a listen. I went to buy a CD after but they were sold out. She was there so I said something lame like, "hey, that was really great!"
