so most days nothing of interest happens in my life - but it seems like the last month has been chalk full of excitement. i havent had much time to update this little blog of mine. so instead of trying to get everything out in one breath (especially since i'm still a little jet lagged) i'm going to do multiple posts over the next few days. here are some of the topics im going to cover:
family in town
graduation
new york city baby!!!
cincinnati (its no NYC, but someone's gotta do it)
tonight: the Faridnia/Shiraz clan descends upon Portland, part one.

familia
i graduated two weekends ago. graduated. it is finally over. i have been working on that degree for soo long, and now it is done. this hasnt really sunk in yet. more about the graduation later. my family came up for the weekend to celebrate with me. it was good to see them and show them around portland a bit.
i just realized that i dont have any pictures of me with everyone (mom, dad, brother & brother's girlfriend) - so i'll just put up a few pictures and try to include everyone.
i love having a big brother. and i'm trying to work on getting him and his girlfriend to move to portland so i can enjoy the benefits of a big brother more often. my car stereo and clock have been out of commission for quite some time. probably over six months. it was only a broken fuse and i know that is a really easy fix, but i couldnt figure out how to get the darn cover off the fuse boxes (either of them) and so i lived with no music or no timepiece in my car for entirely too long. but while kevin was here he was kind enough to spend some time on my car and fixed it in a jiffy. seriously, like 10 minutes and it was done. it's like having a brand new car. i can play cd's and listen to my ipod again. and now i know what time it is. did i mention that i love that man? its such a small thing, but it really makes me feel loved when someone does something like that without even a blink of the eye. he just took my keys and took care of it. beautiful. so thank you kevin, you are a blessing to me. now just move to portland so i dont have to pay to get my oil changed. hee hee.
my favorite brother and future sister-in-law (?? :)

a new york minute
i just found this in my draft folder....
i just got back from NYC late last night. there is so much to say. the trip was AMAZING, i love that city. it was such a busy week, and there is still more to explore. i am still on east coast time so i'm a bit jet lagged - but i will try and get some thoughts down for now.
i could have spent the whole week in the museums. we went to the Met, the Guggenheim, and MoMA. ahh. museum overload - but i wanted to soak it all up. this trip made me realize how much i love picasso. and while i understand that it's the trendy thing to be all "Picasso is my favorite, i like his blue period best" - i cant deny the fact that his paintings have a serious effect on me. here's me and picasso:
which brings me to another thing: they let you take pictures INSIDE THE MUSEUM. whha? when did that become the norm? another reason i love New York. either the Portland Art Museum has never impressed me to the point of photography, or they arent so welcoming of the flash. hmm.
ok - i am exhausted, but i will try and write more soon. this is just part one of my love for NYC. we've still got to talk about the food, the subway, central park, broadway, top of the rock, shopping, brooklyn, staten island ferry, greenwich village, soho, and the hotel. so much left to say.
