Booked a flight.
I’m traveling soon: Flying into and out of New York, and in the middle part, Peter and I are going to take the Chinatown bus to Richmond for a few days.
He’s never been to Richmond, and I haven’t been back in just shy of two years.
We’re bringing bikes. Yeah!

allisonwrote asked: I may have already asked you this, but do you have any tips on how to move from Richmond to Austin? I desperately want to move there but I don't even know where to begin. My background is in research (extensive!) and web design (not very substantial, wamp waaa). I also owe you a postcard. Any help? You can also email me if you happen to have lots of amazing tips!

I'm not helping the economy over here.
colormepale:
I haven’t bought a physical item since June 20th. I thought it was the first week of July but I just checked my online bank statement and I stand corrected.
Now I want to see how much longer I can go, it’s like a one person competition. And I must be the best at all things.
High five! And guilty of the same and similar self-competing (but if you’re interested, you and I...

On being caught off guard.
I’m typically in auto-pilot, floating in the clouds while running errands and so when, amidst standard operative procedural monologue coming from the clerk at the post office this afternoon, he lowered his voice, I wasn’t at all prepared for handling what came next.
He: “you know,”
My thoughts: Here is where he tells me something about the shipping rates.
He:...

Brother’s ex-girlfriend, last week: Hey, how does August 4-6 or so sound for me passing through?
Me: Awesome!
Other brother, today: Hey, get ready, we’re gonna be in Texas!
Me: Oh yeah? What parts, when?
Other brother: Dallas, Austin. August 4-8.

Homemade toothpaste.
You taste-test anything enough times and you wind up not wanting to eat it when it’s done ever taste it again.

Dear diary.
I felt painfully trapped and frustrated by Austin traffic today. The headache hasn’t subsided.
2.5 hours. 25 miles.
It was to pick up some stuff from the office that I was told would be ready for me by 4, including a double paycheck… but no dollar amount justifies the waste of time and fuel.
Biking the hilly trip in 100 degree heat isn’t feasible, which just amplifies my woes.

It keeps going.
Me: If you guys decide to have kids, you can't say there's a bun in the oven. You have to say there's an avocado in the fryer.
Dan: Hahaha done! It is written.

Exciting texts.
Q: Hey, we are having the wedding in Miami (with a reception) and also a CA party a few months after. What do you think? Would you want to go to FL or would you rather just do CA?
A: YES.
My friends Dan and Nikki recently got engaged. I nearly shouted, “touchdown!” when I saw their status update last week.
They grew up in south Florida, but met when he was visiting Austin from San...

Finally found a place in Austin that makes a tempeh Reuben (and a great one, at that).
Still seeking a legit Italian deli and bakery.
Suggestions?
