antlers

I'm on postsecret.com every Sunday without fail. Today this one really resonated with me: I've had a slight fascination/obsession with the Actaeon character from Classical mythology ever since I saw the Metamorphosis exhibition at the National Gallery, and then studied the story as part of my course reading Ovid's Metamorphoses in my final year. No denying I'm a nerd. I could talk about the story for hours, and my poor tutor at university had to mark essay after essay on the same exploration of the hunted vs. the hunter, the duality of the self etc etc (whatacambridgetoff). As a result I've been secretly brewing an idea for an antlers tattoo on me somewhere..is this tacky? 

old stuff

So I've been so busy jetsetting I haven't sorted out any Americuh photos yet. I managed to get away on a college travel grant to ROMA with Hazza T last last weekend. Now I'm back on the couch watching endless episodes of full house (television royalty) and lamenting the departure of my younger sister to university. You really get a sense of how little you do on summer holidays when you've no longer got someone to do nothing with. Anyway here's a few from day one of the Rome excursion. Despite having shy of three days to explore Rome we really did experience the city - sightseeing everyday, eating ALL THE PIZZA AND THE GELATI and hanging out with Russians with matching names / Americans gatecrashing their friend's honeymoon / Italian hotel owners at night. I think it's safe to say we'd both return to the city in a heartbeat. B&w photos for b&w times:

Colosseum kitty.

This happened a plenty.

Back to Cambridge next weekend to move into DREAM HOUSE. We can't believe how much of a good deal we've got for a student house this year.
