Tons, tons, tons to catch up on. I'll try my best to remember what I've been up to for the past three weeks, but it was a whirlwind. This will be reverse order...newest to oldest.

Hates moving, being sick, and things not getting done. I'm three for three on that.
My visa for Singapore was approved on MLK day. A & J took two suitcases and an extra carry on back to MN for me- and it was a godsend. I sent back tons of winter clothes and books which wouldn't have made it over to Singapore with me. Since the visa was approved there was no time like the present to get my stuff moving. So me and the gals got a van and started moving it. Here we are, hanging out in front of the building...in the snow...on the couch... It was much more fun to sit on this couch outside than any other couch I've sat on indoors. There's just something about indoor furniture outside.



You must be Hadouken because you are down (+) right fierce.
A & J came to NYC over the MLK weekend and I had my last shot at wandering through the city and doing random touristy things. They got in late on Friday night so we lazily got up on Saturday to compensate and headed into the city. We picked up pastries at Bread Alone (my favorite tarts/pastries/cookies/scones in the entire city) and wandered our way to 8th St. and then took the train downtown to catch the Staten Island Ferry. First time I'd taken that ride and it was worth it, I suppose considering it's free. We looked at lady Liberty, got some photos and then headed northward again. We also checked out the view of the WTC area from the second floor of Burger King. (For real, best view.) We turned around and a woman walked right up to us to take our spot at the window. She then made an uninitiated comment about 'taking pictures for my grandson...oh, I know I look too young to have a grandson...' Um. Ok. Right. Sure. We made about 10 seconds of small talk and inched away. I love John's Pizza, so we met M. and had some really great pizza before meeting up with the remainder of the gang at some bar with the name 'Fish' in the title. Fun little place, especially since it was on our way to UCB Theater to see some video game related thing. At first, all I could think was '...this isn't what I pictured...' But, it ended up being hilarious, hence the twitter...
