Our anniversary weekend was a fun one. Friday night Sue graduated from her internship program. We went in fancy clothes over to Andrews Dining Hall and rubbed elbows at a reception, then after dinner, seventy-seven interns and post-doctoral fellows graduated from a handful of different programs and a few awards for faculty were doled out.
It was impressive to hear where all the graduates are heading next, and Sue was psyched (to graduate but also) because her current boss won a teaching award on account in part of her nomination.
Saturday night we went and saw Up in Seekonk. If you haven't seen it, Sue and I both recommend that you check it out. The animation is of course incredible, and I felt that the character development was also wonderful. It's got a bunch of different themes and messaging that all work well together. It's a movie that gets you thinking.
Here's a series of Sunday afternoon pics...
The red tree is from Ellen's (our western neighbor's) front yard. It was competing with a holly bush, so I cut it down for her.
Stuff that wasn't fit for the woodpile was chopped up and tossed in the compost bin.
Sunday night was another soccer game. We tied 6-6. We have some female college players on our squad who didn't show up the first weekend, and wow, they are good. One lady had a hat-trick, and her last goal was a rocket to the far post upper-ninety.
We've got an aesthetic-y interior post coming tomorrow, as well as some final painting pics probably later in the week. The painters are almost done!
PS
Saturday and Sunday morning I completed another stop-action card project. Ten hours over the course of 22 hours. One pic every eight seconds streaming at 12 frames per second.
This one was for a friend of Milly's who is leaving her job for new adventures. The quality of this Blogger-compressed version is cruddy compared to the crystal-clear 81MB QuickTime export, but I figured I'd post it anyway.
I love Bach. As Sue would nonsensically say, "If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it."
