i had a fun fourth of july weekend. we threw a graduation party for my sis then watched fireworks in the bronx. it was really hard to come in to work today, not to mention it's 104 degrees outside and the air conditioning in my office doesn't work. see me sweating bullets in a pair of slacks and boots (what was i thinking?).

i'm gonna be doing some volunteer work with maisha film lab this summer. came across this vid from one of their filmmaking lab alumni, wanjiru kairu. the acting is a little splashy, but the story tickled me. enjoy! --AL.
