Today is my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary
Cool!
They are not always happy, they rarely agree on many things and they are still learning about “how the other one works”…
They are a normal couple of people that “just” do their best to walk together, side by side, toward a Great Point that is actually the same “Thing” that is their union foundation.
I think this is a blessing, and a wonderful example for both me and my bro.

Actually astrophysics is among the few things that I still enjoy reading about… but Java seems considering it boring.
Today we (me and my family) had lunch and spent the afternoon-evening time at the house where my brother lives. I played with the kitty (read:I’ve taken picture to her), and then I tried to study a little while Java was sleeping beside me.
If wasn’t that at certain point, for only God knows the reason, she jumped on my stomach (I was kinda curled up with my book) and got back sleeping on my astrophysics book. I’d have never thought a book could have been more comfortable than an armchair…

I tried, of course, taking a few picture of Java sleeping on “astrophysics knowledge”… but light wasn’t great and position even less great since the book, and therefore the cat, was on my lap and I was sitting not exactly in the proper way…beside these aspects, I was using my father’s lens that is great because it’s an f 1.4 but it doesn’t focus thing that are closer than 45cm and it’s like a big zoom (on my camera it’s an equivalent of about 100mm). This last aspect usually is something good, but if you have to take a decent shot of a very very close subject a great aspect turns into a little problem.
Then I made her going back to sleep beside me and I kept on reading/trying to study.

Don’t worry, the webmaster was driving the car (as always).
I’m not able to take pictures while driving a car, and I’ve no intention of doing it ^_^

I’m among the few physics students of my generation that can say “I’ve seen this department [the structure] being built”.

And I’m probably among the few one that, looking at those big “bolt” and their colors, thinks that the building seems made up of strange “big Lego pieces for structural engineer”.
