THOUGHT ABOUT FOOD:  I'm only now realizing the irony of eating veggetarian buffalo wings with an omlet.  

I've been doing pretty well for myself.  Thanks to some wonderful teachers and an incredible support group, this semester turned out to be the most successful of my entire college career.  I actually heard today that I got put onto the Dean's List!  Go figure.  The summer has been far more chaotic than I thought it'd be.  In the span of about a week and a half, I drove 3000 miles.  I've been waking up bright and early (for me) every day to make it to my 8am class.  Today was my last day, and I have to say that even though the work load was quite something, it was thoroughly enjoyable.  I feel like I got a lot of really valuable and relevant information from the class.

Pictures are currently uploading on Photobucket.  I'll fill them in once they're all done.

First is a picture of the Monsterpocalypse Series 2 Booster set I picked up and gave out as gifts to my fellow gaming friends.  It's a really fun game that most people are reluctant to play at first, but it's pretty simple and easy to pick up once you play a couple of games.  Plus, I think the world is really cool.  Just imagine taking the monsters from all those movies you saw growing up:  Mazinger, Aliens, Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, Cthulu, and so on, plopping them in the middle of a city, and letting the mayhem ensue.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play more than a few games since the new year.

Next are some pictures from kite flying at Buttermilk Falls.  The Justice Kite is falling appart.  We used a bunch of plastic bags and my mini carbiner to make a string and hook for the thing.  It worked just fine.  Once I set aside some time, I'll do some more repairs.

Here are some pictures taken after I got out of class early.  It's a side of SMCM that I haven't really taken very many pictures of.  Then again, I haven't made the time to really soak in the beauty of this place.  Schedule's mostly been wake up, maybe food, class, work, homework, sleep, repeat.  I really want to go kayaking, swimming, and sailing again.  Just a matter of finding the right day and making the time.

The following are some snapshots compliments of Csernski of the CreamCenter show at the Charm City Art Space.  There was a HUGE SMCM turnout for some reason.  We welcome new member Paul Lemley to our amorphously ameboid group.  Audience participation was excellent!

Then the following day, Sk8N8, Csernski, and I attended a Breast/Testicular Cancer fundraiser/race.  The turnout was impressive.  We had people from all up and down the East Coast.  The event was the first non-outlaw skate event I've been to (that hasn't been at a park).  I got a chance to ride my Hammerhead.  The poor thing doesn't get very much love.  

Once the pictures are done, I'll be uploading the videos to YouTube and posting them here.

I've got a busy weekend ahead of me (once again) followed by the begining of the second session of summer classes: American Comedy!  Very much looking forward to it.  Hopefully, I'll be able to work some more on my SMP.

Love and Peace,

Nam
