"Trying to fill a sieve with sand.. And the faster he poured, the faster it sifted through with a hot whispering. He held the book in his hands and the silly thought came to him, if you read fast and read all, maybe some of the sand will stay in the sieve."

Core Dump
I've neglected this blog yet again. Here is an undetailed list of my recent activities through the passage of photos. Click on pictures for larger images!
In the words of my favorite band, Rush, and their song Prime Mover:
From the point of ignition
To the final drive
The point of the journey
Is not to arrive--
Anything can happen!
I got pie'd for the physics club's annual Pie a Professor fundraiser where we auction the chance to pie a professor in the face. My lab professor did this... At least I was raising money for the club. :P
I went to IU's Little 500 bike race for the first time. It's an IU tradition that I thought I should see once before graduating!
I went observing for 5 nights in March, at Kitt Peak in my second home, Arizona! There was more snow than I had seen the whole winter in Indiana :P
I saw some beautiful sunsets up there, and we were open 4/5 nights, closed one due to high winds!
Look at those mountain layers!!!!
I brought my sister's SLR camera with me and took some nice photos of the pristine skies up there at 7000ft! The photo above is the dome of my telescope for 3 nights, the 2.1m. The other 2 nights I was at the 0.9m telescope.
The bright city lights light up the 4m dome across the mountain top.
I graduated!!!! Elaine and I on graduation day, behind our home away from homes, Swain West, the physics & astronomy building.
My best friend Naomi graduated from Purdue! :)
I got an SLR camera for graduation! It's a Canon Rebel T2i and I love it. I use it mainly to take photos of cats, but occasionally photograph people too, I guess. That's a picture of my sister's cat, Chips (I think?)
Sister's cat Fish (I think?)
My baby, Moka Latte!
Moka being cute.
I made lemon meringue for my good friend Jesse's birthday. I was nervous I would ruin it but it turned out DELICIOUS. I got the recipe from allrecipes, can be found here.
My good friend, Nick, came to visit Indiana from Arizona, and him and his girlfriend (and my fellow astronomy major at IU!) Teresa visited me for a day. All three of us were in the REU in Flagstaff together, and now they are most disgustingly cute couple ever!
My little sister, Lizzy, graduated from high school!
I went to Baltimore for an interview with Space Telescope Science Institute... I GOT THAT JOB! :)

In the Words of Jerry Seinfeld...
Sometimes things just even out...
I'M EMPLOYED!!!!!!
I got a job with Space Telescope Science Institute as a research and instrumentation analyst, and will be living in Baltimore! That's all I know, since I don't have time to coordinate anything else. Check back later :)
In the meantime, Mom and I are off to Italia- time to put this Italian minor to good use!!!!

The Sieve and the Sand
Seeing as my blog name pays homage to him, I thought I should share this sad but inevitable news that Ray Bradbury has died.
I am about to read his book Martian Chronicles.
