[+] This weekend was absolute insanity, but of the very fun sort. Saturday was Swiss National Day (yay to any Swiss on my flist!) and my bakery caters the embassy events, so I've been working ten-hour shifts starting at 5am since Thursday. (The Swiss embassy, by the way, is stunning. Wow.) I'm exhausted, but admittedly rather excited for the overtime pay. :)
[?] I have no idea what was going on, but on my way home from work, Braddock Road (610) had every side street & driveway blocked off with at least two police cars at every intersection, four at the major lights. This continued onto Fairfax County Parkway (7100) and the entrance to I-66. I counted over three dozen cars in total, not including motorcycles & unmarked vehicles. Weird.
[+] OH GOD today's
xkcd was so nostalgic for me. Every single one of you should read Le Petit Prince, and if you have any background in French, read it in the original. So much love.
[+] Speaking of amazing reading, I'm finally going back to BBs, and some of them are absolutely stunning. I can't wait to make a rec post for all of these.
[-] Am feeling like shit tonight and being a hypochondriac. Please convince me I don't have appendicitis and this is just an adverse reaction to my birth control. I'm just hoping to sleep it off.
