 |
| we went to Chris and Virginia's wedding in Rome and almost messed up my second chance to see the sistine chapel in the Vatican museum in the Vacitan city. Almost. after having to wait in line for like an hour our viewing time was cut down to 3 minutes. We had to run through the vatican museum to the sistine chapel and then determined we had 3 minutes to look at it. as we were running we would point at centuries old artwork you see in history books and keep on running. We eventually made it to the airport only to be standing in the checkin in line and hear that we were too late. jen never missed a flight in her life and was taking it pretty hard. So we had to buy new tix and were drinking wine at the airport lounge very close to our gate but we never heard our name and missed the second flight of the day. At that point it was so late we had to take a taxi to the countryside to some hotel with horses and amazing tasting cheap wine and food and had the best night in Rome. We finally made the third flight. two missed flights in 1 day for Jen Yoo. |

 |
| Helms deep up on the roof for my second year of gardening. So my new life is very domestic and work focused. I spend the majority of my time on illustration now. Party time Jason has slowly dissapeared. Now i'd rather watch netflix than go to a party or social gathering. But maybe things aren't over for me or us (me and Jen) because we did a month in Korea last year, maybe we can do something like that again when Jen is done with graphic design school. Until then i'll keep hustling, trying to make better artwork and looking at this blog occasionally to remember the peter pan life i once had. Who knows how many posts this blog will get to but 1000 in 10 years is definitely an accomplishment. Thank you dear readers! |
