Phone pics!

Umm, I got all the photos off my phone, so I thought I'd post the ones from this summer.




I painted this sign!! Like, the first week there.

I took this on the way back from New York when I was there in August.
This is the only picture I took of the theatre/show that I lit in NY. It was when they were clearing the stage to go home.

Rainbow!!

This was on the beach with Emily.
More beach...




My front yard in New London.

Moths!! They were all over in NH. So cute.

More ATL!!!

Ok, finishing up Atlanta. Well, there's not much more to tell. The next day we were all verey tired from staying up so late, even after sleeping in. They took me to a part of town called Little Five Points, which is I guess kinda like the loop. It was a really neat little part of town, we walked around and checked out some of the stores. Then we all went back to the apt and just crashed for awhile, watching TV, drawing, just chilling. When we finally got hungry we went to Fat Mike's, a BBQ place. It was pretty awesome. They had a live bluegrass band playing, and it's just a small little place where you order at the counter and find a place if you can (it actually reminded me of a church fish fry). We didn't even bother to look for a place to sit, it was clearly hopeless, and just got it to go. The food was good. And we even got some sweet potato pie for dessert.
Sooo....that about sums up my trip to Atlanta. Not a lot of going out and doing things, but it was so amazingly great to see Alli and Melinda, and I had so much fun, and Atlanta really did seem like a great town. I had no clue it was so nice. It really is quite beautiful and clean for the most part (and houses have lamp posts with real fire in them- what is up with that?).


The guest bathroom. Melinda made that shower curtain.
The closet/sewing room. Their apt is huge!!!

My room/guest room/ art studio/movie storage.


It took them a long time to find all the most akward pictures of their friends, but they managed. I'm up there as Cyndi Lauper.

The living room.
Random pictures of Little 5 Points.





There were bubbles in the air. Bubbles!

ATL! Kinda.

Hey!
Sorry for the delay in posting anything. So, quickly catching up on my life in NY so far: I literally got off the plane in NY, got a cab to where Kelly was working, and started working. Which is so amazing I don't even know what to do with myself. So yah, I've been working a lot of hours so far, and I'm so incredibly gratefull for that, but more on that and all of NY later, here's some pics from Atlanta, really fast. (I am sleepy!)


There are all incredibly out of order, but I'm way to tired to care.
Umm, Atlanta: it was so great!! For those of you who don't know, I went to Atlanta to visit two of my closest friends: Alli and Melinda, who moved down there there summer. Melinda was in my class and now works as a stitcher/wardrobe for the Atlanta Opera, Alli was in Nick's class and hasn't found a job yet. Alli, Melinda, Caitlin and I were pretty much inseperateable last semester, so I have been missing all of them a lot, and seeing them again was so great.
Anyway, so I got into Atlanta and Alli picked me up at the airport, and we went to their apt (which is amazing and HUGE by the way, pictures of that some other time) and got on skype, and Caitlin was on! In Vienna!!
Ok, so the whole story is, we all have skype, which is a free internet phone service, but Alli and Caitlin both have isight, which is a built-in camera, so they can have video chats. So I told Caitlin that I would be at Alli's and to get on Skype all the time. And she did! Yay! So Alli and I talked to her for 4 hours while we waited for Melinda to get off work (she had a matinee). It was great! (also-weird side note, Catilin has the same dorm/apt that Alli and Melinda had in Vienna. Weird, huh?
Anyway, Caitlin got offline and went to bed, and Melinda came home, and has a surprise. Her boss decided the night before that Melinda could have the next two days off, Melinda didn't ask or anything, it just worked out perfect timeing that the only two days of the month they didn't need her I happened to be in town. Yay!
Anyway, I'll let the pictures fill in the rest.

Alli's t-shirt that she made while I was there. We both love making t-shirts.

The shushi resteraunt they took me to.
Caitlin!!!! On Skype!!



Alli and Melinda make stuffed animals as a hobby. Pretty cute.


The Alliance Theatre, the most well-known theatre in Atlanta.

At the sushi restaurant, we didn't order this, but I thought it was funny.

They had oil lamps on the table instead of candles! I was basically fascinated by this whole restaurant.
The ducks in the south are so funny looking!

Crazy tree in the park.

We ordered a lot of sushi. Alli and Melinda picked out ones for me that didn't taste like fish. Or were tofu. So I actually enjoyed most of it. Some of them still tasted too fishy.


Playing at the park.
Our favorite thing to do together, and what we did every night in Atlanta (and almost every night in STl when they lived there): Watch TV, eat hotwings, paint/draw.

I don't know what this means, but I so want to join.

At the park!




At the art store: Melinda.
Me. Alli.
More park.



I thought that was a giant onion. Apparently it's a peach.
