summary of weekend:

• didn’t know what to do with myself
• walked around lake calhoun (pretty sure every other person who lives in Minneapolis also did this at some point this weekend)
• tried not to be too whiny, but kind of failed.  Sorry, Ariel.
• did not get tacos at calhoun because line was too long (backtrack to preceding bullet point)
  
• ate cake flavored vodka flavored cake
• drank sour milk
• looked at lots of adorable pictures of kids that fam & friends posted on facebook
• overconsumption of visual culture via Pinterest
• made a list of all the clever & ridiculous blogs that make me laugh (see “Giggly Things” in my blogroll to get some lolz)
• ate a lot of pepperidge farm cookies
• Didn’t go to a party hosted by a friend of a friend, where I probably would have ended up having this awkward yet funny conversation:

Host: “Oh hello, I recognize you but I can’t remember how we knew each other at Carleton.”

Me: “Yeah, you were a nude model and I used to draw you naked.  Thanks for letting me tag along to your party.  So what are you up to these days?”

• received a drunken text referring to “people huts” (???) from a friend at said party, in which she somehow managed to make an accidental hyperlink by typing I.am.  I didn’t even know you could put hyperlinks in text messages.  Was disappointed I didn’t get more funny drunken texts from her & still wonder what ppl huts are.
• called my grandparents to wish them both a belated happy 93rd birthday (both were last week) as well as a happy 4th of July
• wondered what it would be like to be 64.166 years older than I am now.
• had some good girl talk about boys (what other kind is there?)
• saw some boys dancing in patriotic underwear, got coated in citronella, bug spray & pot fumes while overhearing hilarious fireworks commentary from (hipster?) U students next to us, ran into pretty much exactly the people I expected to run into, and guffawed/winced/groaned/smiled at people’s tiny weird video creations at the Soap Factory’s Ten Second Film Festival
• finished a painting
• got new business cards in the mail!

4th of July weekend #ftw!
