After almost two years of being at different schools and on different continents...

my baby girl came back to me  .......and it was a damn good time...

(^after the Outskirts concert...)

(^i think that's supposed to be Surprise and Disgust)

(^hehe...oh the silly things boys do when they think no one's looking.)

(^last minute stop at drag ball)

Cheers to a wonderful weekend, Sami   now back to this thesis of mine... 

senior year at haverford...i've never worked so hard, been so on top of all my readings/assignments, enjoyed so many of my classes, or had so much fun being at this school   i dreaded coming back at first, cuz ya know, london was just so many times better than haverford ever was...but somehow, i'm finding that i'm having a really good time here...extremely content

ok so first you guys have to meet my roommates.  generally i like them a lot.  i like them even more when they remember to do the dishes.  this is joe "doing work" in our living room, and josh...not doing work.  note the limeolicious walls

tim lives up campus with his other friends...but he comes to visit once in a while.  joe and josh love it when he visits...(tim's the one in the white tshirt being raped)

so yeah...welcome to my apartment   oh and of course, danit and veronica are back as well, looking gorgeous as ever... 

singing and partying with the outskirts has also been fun...here we are at our first party of the year drinking out of cute animal sippy cups...

and lastly, the highlight of my month: danit's 21st bday.  i can't remember the last time i had so much fun bar hopping or even going out...here are all the beautiful ladies...

danit got her very own bday lap dance from colin...

ed thinks he's a gangsta.  josh is too drunk to care. 

joe chai.  the man of the evening.  let's just say he had a REALLY good time :)

everyone looks so happy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIT!!!!

hope everyone's having an awesome year so far...COME VISIT if you ever get the chance!!  (cheesesteaks are on me)   

DC for the week, moving in to school this weekend...you wonderful kids at home made it so hard for me to leave this time...

this summer has turned out to be a perfect balance of work and play

all because of my homefries.

(more pics at community.webshots.com/user/grossolano . these are stacey's but since we're married, they're mine too.)

...and i can't believe my laziness has come down to bumming off of other people's albums and xanga entries...but i just can't be bothered to do it myself...

Because a certain "jerkface" complained that my leaving London didn't get enough attention here, I decided to add pictures!!  Here are some highlights from my last two weeks or so...

Mike and Dan decided to have a picnic in Hyde Park in celebration of their birthdays (which were a few weeks earlier but everyone was too busy to do it then cuz of exams).  Stacey and I tried to be as non-asian as possible by not documenting every moment of it with our cameras...but we let a few slip in:

it was a really good time...with pick-up football, food, and lots of good ol' american ultimate frisbee.  James also brought his longboard and taught us how to ride it (it involved wiggling around on one foot until we could keep our balance):

The following Tuesday, we had a bbq for Tom's birthday...which was also a good time...but I'm just mentioning it cuz it's where we took this photo which I LOVE (that's all the girlies minus May and Laila):

Fast forward a week or so...and it was Stacey's final night in London, which we spent at good ol' Cubana

A few days later, I was off as well...here's some of my farewell crowd at the Tower Bridge: 

Mike and his beloved beer:

And me with mine:

Haha, just kidding.  That's Mike's empty pint.  I can't even drink half of that!

Alright that's all the time I had to resize, so now that I'm back in my omg-i'm-not-in-London-anymore funk, I'm gonna go to my room and cry   (kidding again).  I DO think we should start turning the fun-in-the-Boston-sun up a notch so that I'll have non-London pics to put up...the kidneybean pool outside my bedroom window is back in action as of today (as long as we don't drink the water, says Herbert Lin) so how bout it...
