Buon Ferragosto!

Note: the writing in the third picture (above) is in French. I believe I found the map of china at my new favorite site: strangemaps.wordpress.com. If I had an endless surplus of money, I would probably give up all responsible ambitions, pursue my love of maps, and become a cartographer, among one thousand other things.

Painting My Room... Again.

Mock me if you will, but I have some of the sweetest dreams while sleeping beneath this not yet quite complete wall mural.
