update potpourri
I haven't posted in weeks, but now I'll try to give a quick sense of some of the things I've been up to.
On the 4th of July, my roommates and I threw our first party at my new apartment. A bunch of my friends from work were there, JG + CG made a brief appearance, and there were a couple drunk and horny Texas girls there I hadn't previously met. I got the cuter one's phone number, but both of them ended up hooking up with other dudes at the party. Everyone was pretty wasted, very little property was destroyed (one blanket got a bit scorched from a tiki torch), and some people got laid. Overall, a successful party.
This past week I've been up to all sorts of shenanigans. On Tuesday I went hiking with TK at Torrey Pines, on Wednesday I went to a rock concert with JG and family (Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce, and Mastodon played), on Thursday I won $55 playing poker with some buddies, and on Saturday I (finally) met Ben, the dude I will be teaching English to as an adult literacy tutor (he's a smart 20 yo Chinese guy who's been living in the States for 7 months).
Today I got a small raise at work (with no additional responsibility attached). Yay!
Tomorrow I'm leaving for a two week vacation to Boston. Double yay! I haven't seen my family or friends out east for about 9 months. Anyone in that area want to meet up while I'm in town?
