dad captured this moment at the zoo

just got a wii fit and it's awesome! i love doing reps with my mii after being cooped up at the computer all the morn'.

been busy as all heck, but there are some fun things to look forward to: 1988 gallery show with lou romano's artwork, the maker faire, and a tour of pixar all in the next week!

mom found a comprehensive copy of Chiesa dell'Autostrada which i'm all in a tizzy for. i'm ready to go back to Italy just to see this church again.
