This is the 200th post on this blog!

Also, flying to Australia tonight, will be back on the 28th of November. Try not to miss me too much.

Newsflash!

"It gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Whopper'."

Also, Olivia and I discussed googling oneself and I came up with some interesting results:
I was apparently an ugly child
I'm also a devote Christian
And I went to Penn...wait a second...

Quick notes - REMEMBER TO VOTE TODAY! The BBC has a poll, and over half of voters said that the War in Iraq would be the biggest issues at the midterm polls.

Bands I'm currently listening to:
TV on the Radio
Band of Horses
Andrew Bird
Old 97s
Guillemots
Silver Jews
The Decemberists
Edan
Built to Spill
Asobi Seksu

...plus probably a bunch more I can't remember right now. Laters!

Olivia's random wisdom

me: *note that when i talk about important relationships, i'm almost always referring to friends and not lovers
Olivia: well that's truth, ain't it? isn't it so much nicer that way?
me: yeah its true, at least at this point in my life
Olivia: loss of lovers as important relationships only really applies (i think? in general?) when lover doubles as dear friend

I love my girlfriend so much!

Anyhow, I know I haven't updated and so much has happened (Vegas, Halloween, poker night, lots of random shenanigans) and I'm leaving soon for Australia (I'll be gone Nov. 16-28) but at some point I promise I will. Lady talk ladies - cookbook has been started, but I'll need some time (it's more work than I thought) but you will have it (also means Brigit has more time to give me her mango pasta salad recipe!). I found out that my friend here is really good friends with Say Anything's drummer and lead singer, so the next time they're touring, I get to meet them, which is cool. Also, another friend has a movie producer friend who just cast Colin Firth in her new movie, so we'll be going to the SF premiere of that. And I'm just now starting to really spend a lot of time in the city and I'm loving it. I've actually decided to move properly into San Francisco when my Berkeley lease runs up (I like Berkeley and biking around and all that, but I neeeeeeeeed a city). In short, I'm doing fantastically, but I miss all of you East coast (and otherwise) people. More later, back to work for now. =) xoxoxoxoxoxoxo M.
