Update-O-Rama

Okay... 2 weeks full of various thoughts and ideas.

First: Why Mallory Snyder makes my heart smile
CMUCurlyQ: tot may yay splay

... truly remarkable. Mal, Pashley and I were all in the Bestchester last weekend for my 22nd and Harriet's 21st. Such a blast. We saw Wedding Crashers Saturday night. Sooooooooo funny. I didn't have very high expectations, but I was really impressed. Plus, I don't exactly mind looking at Owen Wilson for 2 hours. :)

And, of course, I also got a pretty awesome birthday present Saturday morning: Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. I finished it Monday night. Oh my goodness. If you have finished it, you *must* call me! I'm going crazy without someone to talk to about it.

I had my first business trip this week (in lovely Trenton, NJ). It was interesting, and now I've got tons of stuff to do at work. On a related note, people who stop in the middle of hallways in Union station or a Metro station (or any other crowed public place) are awful, especially when they have a rolling suitcase or similar with them that you can barely keep yourself from falling all over and dumping all of your bags everywhere and causing even more of a disturbance! Okay, I'm better now.

My computer is still somewhere in Dell/DHL land. Ask me about it if you want to hear a really awful story. To summarize, my hard drive died around the middle of June (yes, it was only 3 months old) and due to various acts of extreme stupidity (Dell and DHL) and bad luck I've been without a computer for 6 weeks and counting. At least my work computer is a laptop, so I can bring it home and have some internet access on the weekends. Ugh...

Plans for this weekend:
- buying an awesome TV (if I can find some way of getting it from Arlington to my apartment)
- reading/sleeping
- working on my tan
- grocery shopping
- receiving my computer (???? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!)

... I live such an exciting life.

Peace out.
