wow thanks for all the birthday comments yesterday, guys! that was very sweet.

oh, and: ow. my liver hurts.

tomorrow is my birthday!

in celebration i will clean my kitchen and care for my just-surgeried roommate.

oh, and then i will go to a fashion show (yay!), and then forthwith i shall proceed to thee parkside where people with funds will bankroll my heavy intoxication. all as it should be, of course.

let's see, what's in my brain today?
-russian. i'm learning russian! so far i'm pretty good at it. it amazed me to realize in class today that some people just suck at languages. i guess i don't. yesss.
-a dude i slept with months ago emailed me today. it was weird but cool. he just cleaned out his suitcase and found my card: haha.

i climbed a mountain and swam in lakes so cold my ears ached and i almost threw up when i got out. i lay on a cool flat granite rock in a pine forest and blew smoke at the only cloud in sight. i ate steak and drank beer on a raft. i woke up happy.
i think i'm going back for...

I heart NY.
i miss it lots already... photos to upload tomorrow.
now i'm in DC.
mmmmhmmm. sleepy me: gnight.

edit: pics of stuff now in my vacation folder. not very descriptive of my vacation, but yet i think they manage to convey somewhat my pleasure at holidaying.

i'm still sleepy. i go home tomorrow.

I just:
-cooked dinner for my parents. i am such a good child.
-that took nearly 4 hours: (shrimp-okra beignets w/ cilantro lime sour cream & salsa, chilled avocado-tomatillo-poblano pepper soup, and grilled tomatos & asparagus)
-in which process i stabbed myself in the palm and didn't even wince, nor did i bleed in the food. i'm sooooo hardcore. ow.
-drank very old champagne. yummm....
