- fyi--I have a new job. Started at the end of May. I keep forgetting that I forgot to tell people, so sometimes people are surprised. My new job is a block away from my old job.
- I went to Baltimore this past weekend. It was fun, and I'm glad I'm not allergic to crabs. Otherwise, I'd be dead. Aside from that, I'm still full from this weekend. Baltimore didn't look like the Wire, but I kept looking at stuff and asking if it was Hampsterdam. Apparently, not. I keep saying I should get a camera to document my (infrequent) travels. Until then you'll have to deal with my shitty blackberry photos. Oh also, I only took about 5 pictures all weekend. I kept forgetting to take a picture. I'll also probably forget to upload. I should rethink the camera thing. Things I did:
- Ate at Mo's Seafood--A softball sized crab cake, and a soft shell crab to be exact. I got sick of crabs on the first day. Also Snoop ate here with Anthony Bourdain. Yes, I'm that tourist.
- Wedding--beautiful historic church, reception at hall near Edger Allen Poe's grave--creepy cool. Except I wanted to look at all the cool headstones, while everyone was drinking. I like history, shut up.
- Ate pit beef--not Texas BBQ. Rudy's > Pit beef (at Chap's Pit Beef, also from Travel Channel) (forgot to take pictures)
- Vaccaro's--Gelato in Baltamore's Little Italy, meh. Gritty gelato is not so great. Also canolies are like frosting filled shells-yuck. (forgot to take pictures)
- Orioles stadium was pretty cool. Hot as balls outside, but it was a nice stadium for a team that's shittier than the Astro's. (Took a handful of pictures. Mostly of the stadium, or players' butts)
- Took pictures outside Charm City Cakes. See above, re: pictures.
- Walked around near Fell's Point (near water). Hot, didn't take pictures.
- Dinner at a restaurant that brews it's own beer, and serves seasonal food. Best part of the trip. Still thinking about my peach upside-down cake. Forgot to take pictures.

- While I was in Baltimore, I heard all my friends were in NYC having fun without me =(
- Watch "Tale of 2 Escobars" Sc00t agrees. It's awesome. I couldn't stop watching. Great documentary about Colombian soccer in the '90s. Awesome hair, nuthuggers, and story. It's on ESPN: find it, tape it, watch it.
- When I landed yesterday, on our way back to the car, I saw Hercules Gomez. I must have made a O_O face when I did the double take, because he did a double take too. But all I did was wave like an autistic kid. He did wave back. (How can you say no to a "special" person?") No pictures, no autograph. I need to work on being cool.
- Oh I also moved apartments. Supposedly, the A/C was fixed over the weekend. Maybe we'll have motivation to clean/unpack. I still don't know where my alarm clock or cell phone charger are hiding. It's a pain to rent from certain ethnicities. I won't say which, in case I get picked for public office. In which case, I'm shutting this blog down.
