Two Week Hiatus!

I'll be getting email regularly, so shoot me one: ddalk2@gmail.com.

Otherwise, check my TWITTER for photos & locale updates.

Now that my Europe trip is looming near, I'm slightly concerned about this volcanic ash from Mt. Ejaksdf349dfk. A part of me is hoping that I get to skip the whole Italy part and can find a way to fly straight to Barcelona where I'll spend the days lounging in the sun, drinking sangrias, & oogling some beautiful men. But before that, there are so many things to do - mostly boring things like pay rent, pay electric bills, ask if my friends want to trash my apt. while I'm gone...

The other photos from the weekend... late night Wal-Mart runs used to my specialty in college. Where have those nights gone?

Recent expeditions captured by my cell phone...




Went on a Thursday, ordered the nightly roast (duck), which was excellent. Friend had the hanger steak, which was subpar. The rioja was just the trick to quell our dissenting tongues as the calimari we had ordered for an appetizer was average at best. Also, the parking situation is disdainful. ("Complimentary valet" - two words that I think should be banned from being uttered in Atlanta. This is not L.A.)




Weekend wedding. I love my Frejas. Also, I do not approve of weddings that serve hors d'ouevres in lieu of an actual meal. Not even an open bar won't stop me from making a late night Waffle House run.

I've been stressing the past few weeks about this massive trip I'm taking to Europe in May. A few deets have slipped out on my Twitter, and it's really turned out to be more of an expedition than I originally planned. I'm open to any tips you have for any of these cities, so please share!

A new tradition has begun: Musical Mondays. This Monday was hosted by the lovely E.Wiz & Nova, and the selection was "Newsies." I've only seen it performed by a ensemble cast of drama kids who took themselves way too seriously at my high school, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover elements I'd never noticed. For instance, the insane levels of masculine eroticism in the opening sequence. We've got shirtless boy-men, a very provocative sexual position most popularly referred as a certain number, bathing and other general bathroom raucous/shenanigans.

I got a lot of flack for thinking that Christian Bale was pretty hot in that role (really insane accent and rather horrible singing and all), so I would like to take this opportunity to point out that he was 18 when he made this film. So I'm not a pedo. Also, it's slightly impossible as I was 7 when the movie was made, which means that Christian Bale is the real pedo. If he liked me. Which he didn't.

P.S. Those are E.Wiz's chinchillas. They are super soft and totally worthy of coat making. But she will kill you if you try.
