no news
i'm too tired and sore and dehydrated and hypercaffienated and farmers tanned to actually "log" on the "web" what I've been up to lately. instead i'm going to slough some food porn off on you and be done with it so i can heave myself snout first into bed.

i'm the decider
and i've decided not to go to Columbia. i checked out the graduate school of public health's MPH program in health policy this past weekend for their newly admitted students day in nyc and was thoroughly unimpressed with every aspect of the school: facilities, faculty, alumni, etc - all dingy and uninspired. the only thing that did impress me was that they have an entire office devoted to helping students find off-campus housing, which spurred a momentary daydream of moving to new york and finding a sunny pre-war Morningside walkup with fixed rent and going to the corner bodega for coffee in a bag every morning before class. maybe when i have a high paying job i'll move to brooklyn for a few years and live the dream but until then i really don't want to be a poor grad student in new york city.
the rest of the weekend consisted of coffee, pastry, pizza, pizza, rain, pastry, cookie, madeline, beer, whisky, cigarette, pizza, rain, bagel, candy, beer. it was totally awesome. we stayed in Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn, which is like the most adorable brownstone-lined idyll with a bodega/bar with beer garden/artisan bakery every 10 feet.
Friday after Columbia, we went to Mars Bar for a bucket of jameson each before meeting up with friends at Heathers where JD from le tigre was serendipitously djing then ended up at Manitoba's which I've heard is famous for its former punk legend and sort of asshole owner.
Then Saturday we walked down Court St, stopping in every bakery along the way (canoli, raisin croissant, banana muffin, 7 layer cookie, bagels, etc.). It got cold so we went into Brooklyn Industries and I got 2 sweaters. then we went to Grimaldi's in Dumbo and stood in line for 45 minutes in the wind for the bomb pizza which was totally worth it. on the way back we stopped in at the brooklyn flea market and found more adorable and delicious things to buy. then we went back to the house and drank coffee and beer and then got mediocre bagels in midtown before catching the bus back to DC.
and I'm going to Berkeley. fin.

weekend update
in the last 2 weeks i've heard back from all 6 of the programs i applied to for grad school aaaaand I got into all 6! including the #1 ranked school of public policy and the #1 school of public health in the country. sorry to brag for a minute but this shit is crazypants. i had bet i'd get into 2/6, Cecily bet 5/6, and Davin bet 6/6, so I was way off. but no problem bc tonight there will be whisky.
next i just have to decide what the eff I want to do with the next 2-3 years of my life and where I want to do it. my choices are: DC, Baltimore, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago. this is a big decision and i am a 27-year old child who should not be in charge of making big decisions like this. also, I can't afford any of it, so please send $100000 checks to me at 12345 wtf am i doing ew blech road.
i'm currently reading the Watchmen so DON'T FUCKING TALK ABOUT THE MOVIE AROUND ME.
i like beans.

white chocolate city, pt 2
this morning i put on all my clothes at once and took my bike outside and trudged thru foot high snow mounds and sludge to get to the street then slipped and slided 2 blocks until my brakes were completely frozen up and covered in black snow that i told dispatch "eff this shiz" and got back into my pj's and watched the west wing, ate 2 more breakfasts, read a Murakami story about a giant frog, and napped for 2.5 hours.
now i'm drinking earl grey and eating nilla wafers and i am feeling close to spontaneous combustion from how awesome snow days are. in a minute i'm going to make corn bread and defrost some bomb chilli i made a month ago and later i might go see the day the earth stood still featuring renouned film Actor Keanu Reeves at the arlington cinema and drafthouse so what you know about that.

things and stuff
guess what? i already received a letter from my safety school informing me of my acceptance. AND that i've been awarded a small (quite small) "Director's Scholarship for Smart and Kewl Peepz.*" *may not be called that. so that's a weight off.
also friday was my 1 month mark of being a courier. and today to celebrate i fell off my bike for seemingly no reason. in front of a lot of people at a busy intersection. don't worry I'm fine except for a few bruises, which to be honest, I welcome. I was beginning to forget that a badass courier is supposed to be like all burly and covered in battle scars from riding the mean streetz. i'm like a ninja you guys. a bike ninja.
appropos, i signed up for short-term health insurance. I found out my college offers a cheap deal to alumni which is good since my dad has been riding me to get insurance ever since one of his former boy scouts (he was my brother's troop leader. shut up) fell off a cliff while snowboarding and now has a traumatic brain injury. so now when i do something like today's cute little maneuver but with more bones broken, I will be no less likely to sustain a traumatic brain injury but it will cost less.
aaaaand of course i'm still cooking and eating a lot of delicious food like this.
