I won’t be posting anything this week besides some pictures because the girlfriend and myself are off to Dublin for a week. Time to drink some delicious Guinness!

See you guys on Tuesday!

One of our outdoor cats, Kitty, ready to pounce on another cat off camera. This was my first attempts as decent night photography using my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D and the pop-up flash.

Wow, November’s already here!

This year seems to be flying by to me. This semester has just flown by and it’s not even over. November is going to whiz right by me too. In just a few short weeks, we’re headed off to Ireland for a week long jaunt. When I lived in the UK, I never made it over to my ancestral home (aside from Scotland, where I was living). We’re to be staying outside of Dublin and spending most of our time there. We’ll also be devoting time to Galway and Belfast. The latter of which came highly recommended by my friend Mike — the owner of Holloway’s Pub — after his last visit in the 90s.

However, before we go, I have a presentation to do for Dr. Lawrence. My research paper is over the changing roles of Reform, Conservative, and Traditional/Orthodox Jewish women post-WWII and after the feminist explosion. Research is slow going since I’m not Jewish, a woman, nor a feminist; I’m also being slowed by my lack of Hewbrew and Yiddish. I guess I will need to get with Dr. Greenspahn on some particulars of pronunciation so I don’t totally botch my presentation when I talk about halakhah and mitzvot.

I haven’t taken many pictures in the last few days, school has simply kept me too busy to worry and I’m currently at a loss for subject material. We’re considering a joint photo shoot in December but I don’t think it will pan out due to time constraints. At least it won’t interfere with football!

Anywho, work is calling so I need to get back.

7lb organic pork shoulder just before I sliced it and smoked it for almost 10 hours. Turned out smoky and delicious, juicy and sumptuous.
