If ice cream were a planet, I'd be an avocado.

However, given our new definition of planet, it seems unlikely though not entirely impossible. Since I most probably will not be an avocado anytime soon, I will just have to get my hair cut tomorrow. Will definitely post photos.

Also, to you SGDCers who said my octopus was smaller than expected... Octopus Kills Shark...

After having basically the same haircut since 8th grade, I am now a Bumble and Bumble University hair model. This means they'll cut my hair for free every 2 months and I can get it styled however often I like. My first cut is on the 30th. I win! Prepare for changes.

The woman evaluating me loved my hair. She was totally amazed at the...

Back in New York. Trying to get my gumption up.

Made a food pilgrimage to the Doughnut Plant yesterday, and while ambling along, munching my doughnut, discovered The Pickle Guys on Essex St. I got a quart of full-sour pickles and they are awesome. I can't wait to try their kraut, tomatoes, carrots, anything but olives.

This makes me so happy I'm no longer stuck...

As if I don't get around enough...

I'm in Florida this week, visiting my guy's parents. Yeah. Eating all sorts of weird things, and I don't have the heart to tell you what (some of them involve that unwholesome bitch Betty Crocker--forgive me).

So I come down here and I'm the pale girl. No, I did not go to the beach. Or a pool. Or...

I had the best dessert last night.

Frozen strawberries and blueberries sprinkled with brown sugar and tossed with just a little balsamic vinegar. Vanilla ice cream on top.

What you want to do is dovetail this with the making of dinner so that when you're waiting for the pot to boil (or whatever) you're prepping the berries. Don't put the ice cream on until you're...

I am gone. Thank you, DC, for a year's worth of memories. And hello, New York.

Don't blame me for staying inside and watching every decent episode of the first season of Babylon 5 today. I can't remember when I last sat on my ass all day.

Tomorrow I will explore my new neighborhood, cash in a shitload of change at the bank, gawk at...

I am LEEEEEEEVING on SUNDAAAAAAAY. Come to the wake.

All my stuff is moved out. All that remains is a suitcase with a week's worth of clothes, my computer, and me. One week left in DC and it must rock.

Does anyone know a cool octopus I can hang out with in New York?

Back from the awesome hippie wedding. It was my job to give a toast. Apparently I did okay.

The wedding was beautiful. Everybody cried. I could rave.

But this is supposed to be a short post.

I have less than 2 weeks in DC. Wow. I really am moving on August 5.

I barely have time to breathe.

Look at me killing time between 2 job interviews.

Waiting. Waiting.

But hey! 2 job interviews! In New York! Wow.

My interviewer at the last one asked me how I would figure out how many manhole covers it would take to cover a football field. Hmm. I got the question right, thanks to Ms Samuels in my sophomore math class. I should write her a...

I am not watching the fireworks right now.

I just wanted to let you know that I am not so available these days, even less than usual. I have work, class, rehearsal, jobsearch, myself, and interpersonal relationships to deal with these days. No time for SG. You see, I never run out of things to look at, and that's bad for the procrastination-prone like me....

I just finished a massive update of my resume. (For those of you who actually care about accent marks, know I'm too lazy and can't remember the codes but I know they should be there.) So I'm about to launch myself out of the jobsearch cannon again. And I realize I've done a lot of stuff in the past 6 years. And on top of...
