So, maybe I’m behind, but I just put the metro map on my ipod! I mean, not that I take the metro all that much, but it’s so cool to be able to look at all the lines and stops on my ipod. Definitely a great marketing idea for metro to do!

This weekend was pretty good, I spent some good time with good people. On Friday I met my bff at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, Peking Gourmet. After dinner I headed over to Carpool to see my friend’s little sister’s band play. They are pretty good, I’ve seen them before - they have a fun setlist and great energy. I ended the night with a little unexpected smoke and SHUB action. All in all, a pretty damn good Friday night!

Saturday I went to see The Departed with my friend N, which was always a good time. The movie made me want to hit up Boston for some hot Irish cops, corrupted or not! N, you were looking fabulous too my friend! Especially in your I Love Black People shirt hahaha. I then headed to Tysons to meet some friends for dinner at CPK and pick up a few things, including a VERY espensive perfume (um yeah, I won’t be eating until next week as I can now not afford food) and exchanging/buying a couple shirts at Nordstrom and Express (got some cute and cheap stuff there!). I kind of feel bad stealing someone else’s signature scent (I got the name from a friend’s girlfriend)…but it smells amazing - and it’s not like I see her/them very often. If you want to know what it is ask, but I don’t want to share lest others know the secret to my sexy new scent. It’s also great because the fragrance lingers forever and it smells as expensive and luxurious as it is. Clearly I’m obsessed with it.

Sunday I met the Ad-Man for coffee (or in my case, a tasty chai latte) in Arlington. He’s helping me out with some career advice and networking, and it was definitely good to meet him. Thanks for the ego and confidence booster Geoff! The rest of the day was spent cleaning up and laying around the house. My roomie made us a yummy dinner and we got pumpkins to carve this week!

I can’t believe it’s almost November. And I also have NO money for Christmas presents. I guess that is time that I can be happy my family is so small. I really only have to get gifts for my parents and a few friends. But, I’m an overly giving person, and I always end up spending way too much on entirely too many people. I can’t help it…I’m the ultimate consumer and I LOVE buying presents!

Anyway, fun times, good people, and now…back to work. Sigh.

Hmmm… this is kind of fun…try one for yourself! It’s funny how one picture gives me a lot of asian matches and another picture doesn’t!

I realized something today.

I get up, I get ready, I walk down a long hallway to the elevator in my building. I ride down to the ground floor, get in my car in the garage, and drive out.

I pull into my work parking garage, I get out of the car. I take the stairs or the elevator down to enter the building. Then I take another elevator up to my floor.

I spend the majority of my day within concrete walls. Confined, riding in and out of elevators and in and out of cars to get in and out of buildings.

I’m not saying I mind this situation. I’m just saying it’s a little depressing when you actually think about it.
