It's been awhile. I'm a year older now. It was my best August 4th ever... after the whole being stuck at the Madison airport and running through the Denver airport part. :)

day 3 in exciting Madison, Wisconsin. it actually IS very beautiful out here. crazy ass capital building. badass ice cream. surprisingly no experience with WI cheese. schmoozing with faculty. discussing research interests. realizing I know so little yet so much at the same time. really feeling blessed about my time at UCLA so far. very blessed.

fun moments from the past few days:
Paradise Cove Beach Cafe, motherly Joe, the bowl of clam butter, I mean chowder, the green mojito, the water to go, and a pound and a half of that mofo crab we saw in Redondo Beach. alaskan king crab. wow.
wePOD! d. dropchan.
the Seascape Resort. the late night dinner at the bar. the band. peter gabriel.
the Bellagio buffet aka tailgating at the SF Giants game. the garlic fries. the churros. the guinness. the peanut shells. the peanut shells. the peanut shells. Jenny got ridiculous orifices. Don't ever let Tony Alphabetize.
seeing the PV crew (briefly).
sleeping every moment on every flight.
the brookstone travellers pillow (fleece-lined, with case).
Bluefies (arfies?) dinner with Phil, Dora, and Megan.
