since my mind is in no state to be making any larger posts about like, world peace, the dnc convention, or how good that sandwich i had for lunch was, i'm just doing the bullet point thing today. like little bite-sized nuggets of worthlessness.
tommy and i signed up to take the GRE next friday. the couple that takes the GRE together, has panic attacks together.
however, we also had a really fantastic restaurant week dinner at yanyu last wednesday. i'd certainly recommend it for anybody looking for awesome, really expensive asian food. the highlight was the duck (i've come to the conclusion that duck is my favorite meat, even more so than lamb) and the honey-roasted sea bass. and the banana fritters for dessert? who knew fried bananas could be so kick-ass good? with my love of all things fried, i should have suspected.
my bloggage may be metamorphisizing into something more legit come later this summer or early this fall. it's exciting! i hate being all teasy-secret (oh, who am i kidding? i LOVE it), but i'll probably be able to say more after my family vacation.
yay family vacation! we're going to some beach called stone harbor in lovely new jersey. we had wanted to go back up to rockport, mass., but that's like a 9 hour drive and it was just too much. stone harbor sounds pretty nice. seems all quaint and natural and stuff. anyway, i'll be gone from august 7-12, so don't let anything too fun happen while i'm gone.
gotta run 16 miles tomorrow for training. i am officially terrified. this is the longest i have ever run. i am going to fall over and/or vomit on my fellow runners.
but in other good news, my coworker shannon and i finally hit up our work colleagues for fundraising, and they are being surprisingly generous. turns out lots of people have their own personal connections to cancer, and hearing them makes the whole fundraising and race even more meaningful to me.
and with that, i am out early because summer at my company means never having to do anything, especially because your bosses are doing even less than you are. peace out my peeps. have a great weekend.

The words "quaint" and "Jersey shore" don't really go together, I must say. Actually, I've heard good things about Stone Harbor - Jeff's family goes there every year and they apparently have some nice golf courses. I'm sure it's way better than like Seaside Heights though. I think it's really close to Atlantic City, too, so you better get ready to be harrassed by decrepid old men.
Join the duck club. It's the ultimate meat. Everyone I know loves duck; I've converted everyone. I'm so proud.
