Bust an additional move.

This weekend included, but was not limited to: four nights at the pub, six hundred miles on the odometron, four picnics, two games of disc golf, two audiobook hours of A People's History Of The United States (read by Matt Damon), one fancy dinner, one fancy brunch, many boyfriend points scored with the in-laws, one commencement ceremony, several naps, five days without an update, two thunderstorms, one malfunctioning transmission, two parties at Carter�s, lots of drunk parents, two New Yorkers to catch up with, and plenty of friendship. It also marked what I hope will be my last visit to Grinnell for a while. Much as I love the place, the feeling of being an auslander in my hometown causes a lot of cognitive dissonance and emotional stress. I am psyched to be in Chicago for the summer, playing kickball and getting drunk with my friends. Except for this weekend, when I�ll be in Seattle for a wedding. But after that, oh man. Look out.

Also, happy birthday to my all my slices. I�ve been absolved of having to get my brother anything for his birthday because he�s halfway around the goddamn world. For anyone else, I�ve discovered that a bottle of quality liquor is an easy, grown-up, much-appreciated gift that keeps on giving.

I�ve been reviewed! This is heartening because it�s a predominantly positive review. If my blog were a book (god help us all), this review could provide all my blurbs. The only criticism is that my layout is �outrageously boring," an observation that made me chuckle and to which I�d be the first to cop. To. The reason my layout is less than pants-wettingly inspiring is twofold, and consists of two reasons, of which there are two: 1) I like to keep things simple (it's a zen thing), and 2) my knowledge of HTML is not sufficient to produce a snazzy post-post-modern art deco layout. But if anyone wants to volunteer to redo it, I�m hereby accepting any bids ranging from zero dollars to zero dollars and zero cents.

Two and a half days, then I�m off to the airport: shortest work week ever.
