Animated Madness
I can’t get enough of animated gifs right now and when you are completely slammed with deadlines, what better to do that waste time by making some of your own!

Le Mans
I watched Le Mans the other day and it was good.

New York in August
Just a second ago, when I was titling this post, I had to actually look up what month my brother Hamilton and I went to New York to visit my mom. I initially thought we went in July, just because it feels like it was so long ago, but we were out there from August 1st – 7th… Well we were supposed to be there until the 6th, but we flew standby and ended up sitting in the airport for 17hrs one day and 12hrs the next. All the flights we were trying to get on were full and we had an amazingly hectic time getting home. Luckily we were able to chill in the first class lounge, but after two days of trying to get on every flight we could, even connections, I broke down and bought a one way ticket home. Hamilton was had already missed the one thing he was trying to get home for, so he had made up his mind and was just going to stay in NY for the weekend. The best part about me buying a ticket was they only had first class available… So I buy a ticket for a 7pm flight, Hamilton decided to stay at the airport and try one last time to get on the 6pm flight, my plan was to try to get on standby for the 6pm and if it was full, I’d be set for the 7pm, but just as our luck had it, we both got on the 6pm flight no problem… And I ended up buying the one way first class ticket for no reason… haha… Oh well, I’m sure I’ll use the ticket sometime soon…
Back to the actual trip… My mom had been in NY for the majority of the summer… She’s wanted to move to the city and while looking for apartments, she came across a family that wanted to do a house swap with someone in Seattle… The house swap thing worked out perfect and my mom got an apartment in NY for the summer! I got sick like two days into the trip, so aside from spending a day in Brooklyn, Hamilton and I pretty much just walked around Manhattan and hung out in the apartment. We did get to meet up with our cousins Andrew, Danny, Tommy, and Vinny for dinner on our last night. Out of all the kids our age, we are the only ones that live on the west coast, so it was rad to get to see them!
No matter what, it’s always great to spend some time in the city and I can’t wait to get back. Here’s a bunch of iPhone photos from the trip!
