Sufjan Stevens is cool

Probably the most beautiful concert I've ever been to. He'll get you to forget where you are with enthusiasm and acoustic stylings. This was the first concert I've been to alone but I met Sam and his friend Jason, who's a youth minister in Herndon, and they were awesome. I eventually got lost on the metro with Jason. Half Handed Cloud opened and was very silly. Look how Sufjan came out! His rendition of the star spangled banner was a piece I've waited years for. They called themselves The Illinoise Makers and wore identical outfits. Watch them cheer for Decatur and Jacksonville!

Our Own Red Light District

Gene had brought Christmas lights for the Jazz Party, and we procured some afterward to add more craziness to the ceiling. Photos of that to come. Alex had fun with the red lights we put up. In the second one he looks like a flying spaghetti monster.

Ar! This be awesome!

Rappahannock White House?

Jazz Party

The Jazz Party could have been run better. It was also depressing not to have a date this year. Then again, I didn't ask anyone till Wednesday. My bad. Here's us on the futon, and there's Reish's butt getting the attention it deserves. And fucking Gaurav! Notable about that photo is that it was taken right before Gene and Danielle left for Deutsch's party. Oh, and Alex "demon eyes" Johnston and his Jocelyn together, lets see how that goes.

Fireworks

This is our night time view of the skyline out our balcony. The fireworks were for labor day last week. See a video. We were concerned for the planes. Obviously none crashed.

The apartment

The apartment is awesome. Village A E402. We put $181.09 into it from Ikea yesterday, this is after we got the futon. Alex Reish's parents provided us with lots of stuff. Plus everything we've all brought. I think it really looks nice. Still so much to do. Alex had me fill out the scene, and don't I look nice.

Sumer Alvarez

Walking though Reynolds the other day I saw and was momentarily disappointed that they took down my photo, the one of Healy. But then I was thrilled, cause they had a bunch of Sumer's photos. Sumer died. She was in my photo class last year, she always rode a long board skateboard and was cool like that. Look at the top left photo of Village A, it's awesome.

Luau

Clay had a Luau party. I lent him my tiki torches. Zedge did fire twirling, which was hot. Check the video. After the party, we went for some grilling society burgers at Healy Circle. I thought it was cool that they were out there at 2 am.

Moon

If you haven't noticed, I'm getting lazy and running out of photo space. So I'll try blogging this year. It seems like the thing to do. Personal websites are so old I'm told. If this doesn't work the way I want to though, I'll just have to buy my own .com.

Chalking

Alex and I thought it would be clever if, below our balcony, we made a little work of art. I chalked him, and then we thought some cones we be good and we grabbed some caution tape from the Davis Center construction site and check it out. His last touch was getting some tomato juice to splash around the head.

Alex and Emily

Alex, my roommate, and Emily look so cute in my chair. This is after we partied at Kober 6, and Gene called Colin, who came back with us and we all partook in Gene's new favorite pastime before collapsing in our cushioned and starlit room.
