sigh
i know, i know. i've been a bad blogger. but trust me - i have nothing of interest to say. the humidity is sapping out all of my energy; dealing with stuff for leaving work, starting school, and moving to chicago is taking up any remaining brainpower; i have decided to commit myself to rereading every harry potter book ever; and i have the awesomest foodie schedule coming up to occupy the rest of my time. i'm going to like six restaurant week dinners (okay, well, two), and next weekend we're finally going to check out dino's, the new italian place.
but otherwise, sigh. summer is draining me. it's been more work and stress than bbqs and alcohol than i'd hoped. a few good things:
i bought an ice cream maker! a small, cheap one, but hopefully sparkly delicious streams of gelato will be forthcoming.
i bought a PDA! tommy told me that bensbargains had a good deal on some sort of axim thing - this one - so i got it!
i think i got an apartment in lakeview! saw a normal-looking one advertised on CL; got sent pictures and talked to the current resident, a very nice guy who is also a former wahoo; the lovely johanna consented to check out the place in person for me, deemed it liveable, and i'm hopefully going to sign the lease in the next week or so. hurrah! that is a considerable load off of my mind.
anyway, i finish up work in about three weeks. until that time, i'm pretty sure my mind will be elsewhere, but i'll blog when i can. until then, go watch the trailer for goblet of fire, and tommy will keep you entertained with how he loves that esurance lady. whore.

God help me, that trailer was awesome.
Where are you going for Restaurant Week? I'm going to Ristorante Tosca and Corduroy.
Good work on the apt! Where is it exactly?
We're going to... uh... DC Coast? I think? Catherine, help me out here. I think we decided to stick with Tunks restaurants after a great experience at Ceiba last year.
tommy and i are going to dc coast, and i'm going to zola with some dcist people. i also forgot to mention that susan, kriston and we are going to galileo next week! on their half price menu dealy.
oh the apartment is in lakeview, a few blocks from the belmont el i think? it's a studio apartment, except there is one main room, and then a smaller room the guy was using as a bedroom, except it happens to have THE KITCHEN IN IT. which is slightly weird. but otherwise looks nice. he's leaving me the window treatments :)
welcome to the neighborhood! big fan of your blog, so thought this was an opportune chance to comment. uhhh... yeah, opportune. hopefully more opportune than creepy. {{fingers crossed: not creepy}}
thanks! i love blogs! pre-made acquaintances. though i do realize that this is the second time i've posted my address in full view of the internet. i should maybe change that. but don't worry, not creepy.
