last night when patrick and i were going to dinner, driving past the silverlake reservior, he asked where the past three weeks have gone. and said they have just been a blur. i said the past five weeks, the amount of time i've been in school, has been a blur as well. and he said, "seriously, what did we do three weeks ago?" i knew what we had done last weekend, but the past two and three weeks were a blur to me as well.

friday night we were walking through echo park during an art walk and it started pouring. at first it wasn't so bad, mist almost. once we reached the gallery we were dreached. we stayed in the gallery probably a little longer than we would have, and once out in the downpour again we walked hand in hand and took in los angeles during the storm. it was wonderful.

the photo above is from last weekend, which was also very busy. we went to a gallery showing of a friend, went to a music festival and patrick became my model for a day so i could for the first time photograph "the nude." he was so amazing to let me do that. i know that i needed the experience and i am very comfortable with him, and i know he is with me as well.

this weekend has already started to blur a little, and i still have a few papers to write. hopefully the next seven weeks of school won't go by so fast. i need to catch up or stay on board.
