Comments: Cool page! Nice pictures and stuff. Its neat to see web pages of people I know. Usually I only see web pages of people I don't know and they talk about places I don't know. I recognize the pictures of riverside though. They are nice. Keep up the good work don't forget to update the page often. Thats what makes a web page good, when its updated often!

Comments: Hi.. if you are reading this, you need to sign my guest book!!! And don't comment on my spelling style, i can spell however i want, and i don't want to hear about it. if you have any comments or new quotes, emai me! Thanks

just look at me go.

so. it's good friday. my alma mater is in the final four! i'm finally officially employed.. cheap beers and virytos at lithualina hall. and john waters. really?

we left thursday post work for MI, via pittsburgh, where we ate pramanti brothers sandwiches and spent the night. friday morning we drove through OH and into detroit, past the rouge river industrial plan and into dearborn and the neatest little brick houses. the first stop was at rachel and tristans for some garlicky middle eastern lunch and lots of baby snuggling. i got to experience the art of eating with one hand while holding tiny tay-tay. it was the bestest.

on the way to clarkston we stopped at my mom's office to catch up and play with teddy bear, the pom-poo. he's getting all gray around the ears and brown around the nose. we got him to sit nice in an arm chair so i could get his portrait. later that night we headed out to see friends in hamtramck. we toured their new loft then went for drinks at the bar across the street named whiskey in a jar. there was pabst on tap and a pool table and lots of locals. colorful ones. after we went to a party near the old train station in town. google maps told us the party was in an opticians office. when we got there, we were greeted by two large dudes with serious easter european accents. they asked us what we were here for and if we were all together. then we were told to line up single file.. then if we were carrying any weapons. really. THEN they started the pat-downs. i wanted to take a photo. when it was my turn i held out my purse and told the guy my pants were way too tight to hold anything besides my large rear. he let me go.

when we got upstairs it was just some sloppy guy's apartment. said guy was sitting at his desk behind the hip hop group detroit city as they performed. he was tall and white and kindof looked like scruffy from scooby doo. occasionally he would light a tiny pipe. among other things scattered about, there was: a makeshift display for and samples of the anti-energy drink "sippin syrup," two guys sat on a couch passed out with their hoodies up, a nitrous tank and some normal seeming people like myself. we watched detroit city then some group i can't remember then some guy called mc doc waffles. he performed in a fur-lined robe.

saturday we had a garage sale. it was exhausting. we managed sell all the giant old furniture and found peter's old rock and coin collections. and a giant storage container of legos. and dungeons and dragons cards. then we said goodbye to the house. it was a rough day.

sunday we drove home in the rain. i was cranky. we ate sheetz. we went to bed. after work monday we drove up to york PA to meet cousian ian and alex for dinner. we celebrated a mini seder and ate spicy thai and drank blackberry manischewitz. but just a little bit. we missed mayer hawthorn but arrived just in time for passion pit. i haven't been to a show on a college campus since i was a student and man did i feel old. i kept trying to imagine seeing myself at the show. all i could think is that i would have been way more drunk than these kids. sad, right. during the encore things got nuts and the stage was all of the sudden full of students. i thought to myself, now that's more like it.

after the show we sat and had chats. we saw mayer walk by in his post-show casual wear and pick up some boxes of merch. the passion pit boys looked so little and innocent and smelled like gym class. we left to buy groceries at wegmans and i got all cranky because it was past my bedtime. the end.

!!!

last night we saw mayer hawthorne. i shot a video. this guy can MOVE. notice how someone yellls "r e m i x" at the end of the song. who knows.

this guy is the coooooolest

last weekend there was a snow storm.. then another tuesday. so i worked two and half days out of five and spent a lot of time at home. a lot a lot. we went for walks around the market and spent one too many nights drinking at zellas with our neighbor friends.

thursday things were mostly back to normal except we fell asleep during 30rock for the second week in a row. i think that means we're old.

friday at work was a warp zone. no one knew what day it was and i was a zombie.

saturday we thought everything was back to normal, snowpocalypse-wise, but it wasn't. i tried to drive through hamden and had a nervous breakdown because there was nowhere for my car to go due to the god forsaken snow. after that we went to target where i got my zen back and we bought some stuff we probably don't need. thank you target. that night we watched harry potter and the chamber of secrets on tv. i don't even know why. peter doesn't particularly like harry potter and i hate movies on tv.

sunday peter went in to work and i shopped annapolis goodwills. i was mostly un-impressed but found a pair of cobalt blue madewell corduroys. driving around i noticed everyone had cars full of giant mylar valentines ballons. it made me happy. then i braved marshalls where the women were aggressive and their children possessed.. at trader joes everyone was buying roses and i felt like a grumpy old maid. later we drank cava and that helped.

wednesday morning we caught a story on WYPR about the new-ish free circulator bus that runs right down our street. this snippet says it all:

IT ALL SEEMS VERY EUROPEAN, IF YOU ASK JACK DUJARDIN, A ONE-DAY VISITOR FROM BRUSSELS, WHO RODE THE ENTIRE ORANGE LINE WITH HIS WIFE:

"You know I saw a nice city of new buildings; beautiful sightseeing. Then we saw an old part of the city, which is a bit, I would say poor, between brackets, huh? So, it's interesting to see both sides in one hour."

now i've got to look at some of these dogs.

as of lately
