I’ve been showing In America in my English classes this week. I have been working on editing a giant thesis all day and I can’t find the right words to describe how much this movie means to me.

From Antonio Fava
I’ve been reading The Comic Mask in the Commedia Dell’Arte by Antonio Fava.

Today was Alexandria’s 2??th Birthday! I got off at the King Street Metro and began walking towards the Water.

Navy Memorial
“Damn the torpedoes–full speed ahead!” Today I went to the Navy Memorial. This is a statue of a guy in the Navy. He looks like he’d be a nice man to be on a boat with. The Navy Memorial has a lot of water. I think it might be symbolic of the sea. Look! MoreContinue reading “Navy Memorial”
