carnivale!!!

pizzburrrrr!!!

last weekend was cmu's spring carnival. as my first year as an alumna, and seeing as i don't actually remember having a normal carnival, i hauled butt down to good ol' pittsburgh.

good weekend, good food, good people.

delicious fusion sushi from seviche.

seriously. this was amazing. i also had a hamachi ceviche with this meal. it was delicious. holy cow. love ceviche.

mmm...breakfast crepe from crepes parisienne.

some art installation in cfa.

it was paper rope. i just wanted to climb it.

we then checked out the maya lin exhibit at carnegie museum of art.

i think my favorite parts of the maya lin exhibit were the negative models of the caspian and red seas, and a figure ground of the colorado river made out of silver. the latter was very striking against a white background. the first two were just seriously awesome looking models. good to know what the bottom of said seas looks like. unfortunately, as a special exhibit, there was no photography allowed. so...you should look it up.

we did get to hang out and wander around midway a lot more though. the theme this year was as seen on tv, so understandably, multiple cartoons made their appearances in booth-form.

SAE's frozen banana stand à la arrested development.

the peanuts booth by mayur-sasa.

inside the alice in wonderland booth.

some of the other booths: 
ASA's looney tunes,
sigep's spongebob, 
and the acme labs in the flesh.

after awhile, i realized i was too old for this s***. so i hung out with anna and smingle for the most part, and played a bunch of chill, no pressure ultimate, in the money mellons alumni game and the hot metal women's hat tournament (fouling fedoras ftw!). the mellons were seriously the sweetest and the best and got me one of their reversibles that they ordered this year. i was definitely jealous when i first saw those. and now i've got my own. thank you, money mellons!!!

oh, college.

then it was time to peace out back to boston and the job search. and a second interview with cube 3 studio *fingers crossed real hard*. this part was definitely not my best flying experience.

the itty bitty propeller plane.

so this flight was terrifying. a) the plane was tiny. b) the left propeller was right outside my window. not exactly what i want to be watching while the itty bitty plane vibrates its way to cleveland.

overall, still a fun weekend. once again, very much delicious food-filled, starting with dinner at seviche and ending the trip with a good old smashed potato pizza from fuel 'n' fuddle.

hey guys, we should hang out again sometime. :)
