We made our way up to DC Friday night, and crashed on K’s furtniture-free (but well carpeted) floor- crashed being the operative- and literal- word. Other than a party in C’ville hosted by UVA’s undergraduate chapter of Omega Psi Phi, this was the first greek function I’ve been to since we crossed. I wish my […]

I took the girls to see Disney/Pixar Cars today. They got a kick out of it; their exuberance was far more entertaining to me than the movie itself. It was cute enough, and definite eye candy, but I didn’t find any of the characters particularly endearing, and the plot was dull and predictable. I guess […]

It’s been years since I’d seen Jaramogi, and just like always, we picked right up where we left off. I love that about him, it’s like we never miss a beat. (I also like really tall, really brown men… but that’s another story.) So when I heard he was coming down to DC for the […]

Last night Grandmother and I went to see Branford Marsalis (or was it Wynton?) at the Charlottesville Pavillion. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there to see us. Only when we got there did we find out (by a kind passer-by who took pity on me, me- confusedly looking from my ticket to the empty pavillion, back to […]

They gave me chlamydia this time*. 60-some 3rd year medical students, at 15 minutes each, got to break the news to me, and I was paid thrice the minumum wage to (re)act accordingly. Almost every day for the past 2 weeks I parked in the same seat in the same exam room of the same […]
