St Pat's Boston
A little overdue, but I was lacking pictures. Jack provided before I was able. For the last 4 months the boyfriend of one of my really great friends from high school, Jack, has been planning a surprise reunion of three old friends in Boston (Nell, Heather (surprised one), and me...4 if you count Will, Nell's boyfriend and also an old friend from high school). By March she had figured out that Nell would be coming. We did, however, get a little gasp when I showed up at the bar. Though St. Patty's day was full of 10-20$ covers and a day full of drinking (Saturday and Sunday not being all too different) it was a lot of fun. Tim, having no relationship with any of the other 4, seemed to also really enjoy himself.
We spent many days sitting in a bar talking and posing for scenarios that the photographer would solicit. Nell is a (attempting) up-and-coming actress in LA. Supposedly it's what all the hot people do.
Will just returned from the Peace Corp (Philippines) and would like to go to med school soon back in good old G'ville, FL. (He made me miss Sarah S.)
Heather and Jack are moving to Boston, June 4th actually. We spent part of the weekend scoping out the new neighborhoods and apartments.

Graduation?
Yes, in more ways than one, 'graduation' is questionable. Questionable as to whether i will ever stay on track and actually write my thesis and graduate and questionable whether my family will want to go see this exibit with us when they are up for my graduation.
I am absolutely disgusted, intrigued, and mesmerized by the images I have seen and heard about the current Bodies
exhibition at the Civic Center here in Atl. Literal bodies that were donated at death, preserved with liquid silicon rubber, and dissected (sliced, dices, hanging on strings...). What's really cool is that it's both art and science. I hear they did the craziest things with them. So, do you guys want to go?

Pouting
I am currently obsessed with art. Collecting art. I know we neither have the money nor time to actually do this, but I can dream can’t I? My days are split between researching current, but not yet dead artists while trying to write my thesis. Through my meandering on the internet I came across this
gallery in Atlanta. In my pursuit of a specific piece, last Friday night tim and I went walking through this studio. Amazing. I can’t even comprehend what it would be like to have Dali Escher Wyeth Picasso and Warhol pieces sitting on your walls, in downtown Atlanta, and NOT in a museum.
