I had this really nice post all written up last week and then blogger.com crashed. Not cool at all.
Its amazingly ironic that I'm meeting all these cool people (and making no special effort) so close to moving time. Very comforting and kind of sad to know that I will be leaving relationships that just started.
Its hard to believe that a month from my birthday my home will be Broomfield, Colorado.
On a completely unrelated note, I've found that Cheez-its are extremely addictive.
In addition, Dad told me today that Kristen is having twin BOYS. I feel a weird blend of enviousness, happiness and relief (that its not me) for her and Estol.

Week in Review
In the past week, I've done and experienced some unique things.
For example, we saw the Dickies (punk band) at a dive bar downtown. The lead singer
was very into props, utilizing a blow-up doll, a gorilla mask and a homemade phallus/testicle puppet.
Here he is, not wearing tights and pink Converse as he was when we saw him.
I felt a little lame wearing earplugs but had a really good time.
Yesterday I worked a class titled Cooking with Beer. The chef in charge stated several times that she did not like beer and that her suggestions for "lager or ale" used in the recipes were just based on what she thought would go best. Not surprisingly, quite a bit of her beer info was totally inaccurate. The other assistant and I did 70% of the hands-on cooking. I was extremely unimpressed and wonder what in the world she was doing teaching that class. Such a disappointment!
I have another class with the chef tonight called "Beginnings and Endings." Appetizers and desserts...I think she likes those, so that's a relief. I'm glad I know what to expect.
Tomorrow night is Book Club and I'm in charge of the entree portion. Hopefully the yummy chicken satay will make up for the ridiculously bad book that I chose. Love Me by Garrison Keillor: skip it.
Friday night will be my first and probably last experience at the Freedom Festival and my brother is coming to town.
Next week will be a lot more relaxed. I gotta gear up for turning 25.

Things I'm Currently Enjoying
1. The fact that my mom and sis are coming for the weekend.
2. I found a Denver food blog. Probably won't have a lot of $$ to try out the places described in it, but its neat to know that there is such a source.
3. There's a Junior Mint pillow in the mechanical arm toy machine at the grocery store. Somehow, seeing it every day for the last year or so makes me feel strangely comfortable...like it will be there for me, whenever I feel the need to revisit my youthful days of blowing Dad's money at LaMon's.
4. I was really hesitant about all things iPod related until discovering that all of Scrubs season five was on iTunes. Even the unaired episodes!
5. Indian food. I love it. The meaty bites, perfectly mouth-sized...the flat, crisp yet chewy naan bread. Gooey, creamy spinach paneer.
Things That Irk Me
1. Random Capitalization - For example: "So Walls and her siblings had to fend for themselves, providing their own food, shelter and clothing - even if it meant picking through Dumpsters." Why??? It makes no sense.
2. The fact that it cost so much to move. No wonder people tend to stay in the same town/area for awhile.
3. Rats don't live very long. It really saddens me, but I guess such is the way of small hearts that beat so quickly.
4. The police here aren't the brightest. They often block traffic with routine stops and have to conference about crimes that aren't earthshaking. I think half the cop cars in reasonable driving distance are present at a meth bust.
