July 26, 2007 Sleepy Stayed up until (past) 2:30 hanging out with the little brother and had trouble falling alseep afterward. I'm freaking exhausted! We had a tasty dinner at Lucca and an interesting dessert (that he liked to say out loud) that ran something along the lines of seriously good banana cake hazelnut truffle tower with banana creme brulee and whipped cream. It was seriously good, but they lied about the creme brulee. It was more like bruleed banana slices. (link) Midori | | 6:42 PM

July 23, 2007 Weekend in a Nutshell Friday: Javier's with the Virginian and the Korean. Saturday: Brunch at Abode with April followed by us chilling at her place so she could fill me in on her Portugal trip. Nap, then Brit's place for Maria's fundraising party then Blu Monkey for Aaron's friends' birthday celebration. Sunday: Overslept my alarm (didn't make it to Nishi) then washed up for the Yahoo! picnic with Steve, April, and Aaron. And that is all. (link) Midori | | 5:53 PM

July 18, 2007 Content Starved delicious chocolates that april brought back from vegas...i can feel my waist thickening as i type I was looking back on some of my archives and realized that I don't post nearly as much anymore...and what I do post is a lot less...interesting. So there's been a decline in both quantity and quality. Not to say that my old posts were particularly fascinating, but they were certainly a lot better than the crap I post now. What happened? Chalk it up to a job I can't really talk about, lack of a relationship, and a shift in readership. Back in college I had school stresses (lots of posts on those), a tumultuous 2.5 year relationship with someone who did not read my blog (that is, until we went on a break and he panicked), and a job that left me sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time with nothing to do but check out computers and check out videos. Oddly enough, even though I'm clearly not as compelled to blog as I was a few years ago, I haven't seriously considered shutting down this blog. Seven years of blogging (almost exactly...and don't get on my case about my math being screwed up I have a year's worth of archives from 2000-2001 tucked away somewhere) and I don't think I'm quite sick of it yet. I don't know what I've been rambling on about for the past few paragraphs. I'm going to go have some (more) wine and watch a dvd. And fold laundry. (and now you know why i don't blog so much anymore) april's birthday cake (link) Midori | | 9:23 PM
