windows

The last time the house was painted, the windows were painted shut. This time when the house was painted, they unstuck the windows! It's been glorious to open them when it's not too hot.

A NYT video presents a discussion with Senator Obama on issues of gas prices, housing crises, taxes, etc. I found myself in agreement with most of what he said, but somewhat confused that I did so. The most surprising quotes from the interview?

"I'm a pro-growth free-markety guy."
"I believe in free trade."

Even with his caveats on the free trade statement, it seemed a far cry from his and Senator Clinton's criticisms of NAFTA when trying to win Ohio. Is this the beginning of a race to the middle?

what i do

I have a hard time describing my work to people. In an effort to further my hope that some day, some one will understand, here's an article written about our recent annual conference. Though I focus on science and technology, you'll get the idea. :)

history

It's not often that we get to live through such an obvious moment in history. The question now? Who will be the VP candidates? :)

festival de cannes 2008

Every year around this time, I get nostalgic for the days that Erin D. (now L.) spent in Cannes. We lived across the street from the beach, rarely had an afternoon class, took A LOT of afternoon naps, and ate endless amounts of yummy food.

One of the perks of our study abroad program was getting tickets to the Festival. It was here that I first saw Beautiful People, The Straight Story, and sat alongside Ben Affleck to watch Dogma --- So, yeah, we didn't really sit "beside" rather we were in the middle row of the balcony and he was down front. But, we did walk the same red carpet! Check out this year's line up if you're interested.

jenna's wedding

I know that she's not "normal", but after looking through these photos I thought, "Huh, I think we could be friends."... Keep in mind, I hold this sentiment about Bono and Michael Pollan too.
