Bye-Bye Jersie
My parents somehow managed to finally sell their home in Woodbury. I'm not Catholic or superstitious and neither are they, but the old "bury a St. Joseph statue in your yard" custom seems to have done the trick. Their new house in Galena, MD has 2 acres of land and the farm across the street is likely to see the end of civilization before a Wal-mart gets built on it. My mom and dad aren't the only ones pushing south; this Friday is the opening reception for my first art show in Delmarva, specifically Ocean City, MD (94th & Bayside). I also finally decided to give up my old landscaping business that I've had since 2000. This year I began sub-contracting my lawn jobs to a kid who lived up the street from my parents, and he'll be able to assume full power as mexican-in-chief once I can secure a source of reliable income here in Center City.

I'm Gonna Double My Gallery!
I just finished my classification system for albums in my gallery in preparation for the impending blitzkreig of photos I'm about to upload. For example, while you were doing something far less interesting (and illegal), some friends from the Photo Society and I went up to Pennhurst, a mental hospital for children that's been abandoned since the 1980's. With over 300 interior shots alone, some are bound to end up here, and they ought to be easy to locate in the gallery.

The Last Summer Vacation Ever
Schooooooool's out. For. Ever. At least for the class of 2009. I on the other hand still have another year here at Uarts in Center City Philadelphia. I'd originally planned on taking classes over the summer, but they ended up being more expensive than I'd originally thought, and I since I plan on spending the time from the 4th of July through my 21st birthday drinking moonshine in North Carolina, I don't want to miss that kind of class.
