TWO THINGS OF NOTE.

Thing One:

Celeste is carrying on a NOBLE TRADITION here at the Flat of Awesome.

( Remember the 2009 calendar? )

I watched, SPN, really I did, but. Like. MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO ME TONIGHT is that I FINALLY finished a game of Oregon Trail when I got back home. It is ridiculous how quickly I become obsessed with the game and play it with just as much passion as when I was nine years old. Both thespiansparkle and Celeste can attest to my rageful cursing over those damn, ( Read more... )

Seven Things!

1. I took Steve in for an oil change to my regular shop. EVERY SINGLE TIME I have been there before, I've had to wait at least an hour before they take him around to the back- today, I was in and out in 30 minutes. Sweet!
   
   
2. I used the extra time to cultivate my powers of crass materialism. I bought adorable tweed ballet flats from ( Read more... )

Birthdays are funny old things. Last year, I turned 25 and C and I had a massive party in downtown DC. All of our friends were there, much (MUCH) alcohol was consumed... We took over the rooftop bar of Madam's Organ for a good many hours and it was all amazing ( Read more... )
