in lieu of actual content, and because i am already miserably nostalgic for everything in my life even though i'm still, you know, in d.c. and am fairly confident that i'll have a good time in chicago: i present, what catherine was doing in
september 2002! (traveling to bergamo, bolzano, and bologna, italy)
september 2003! (nothing! no archives from that month! i had forsaken the blog! instead, you can see my triumphant octoberal return, wherein i recount trips to tuscany and leaving milan for good)
september 2004! (bitching about politics, mostly, in a vacuous way. apple picking in charlottesville - which you ALL need to do in october, eat some apple cider donuts for me, mmk? - camping on assateague island, raising $$ for the lombardi cancer center and whining about my marathon training, doing the first DCist happy hour, and applying for grad schools. man. last september was busy. this september? eating. taking care of a lot of beer. spending untold hours on the internets.)

holy crap, can you believe that this piddle of a site has been around that long?
