Gaming is swell!

[--Because I FINALLY have joined the awesome throng of those who have played Portal.]



[--Because I managed to not either do terribly bad or make a huge social blunder while playing Apples to Apples with a bunch of math nerds I didn't know.]



[--Because I witnessed someone play Duck Hunt to level 20.  Miracles happen every day.]




SOTD: Lady Gaga - Telephone. Best sung with a friend in a car at the top of your lungs. (This isn't the whole video

Trains galore!

[--Because of the people who randomly share umbrellas at street corners. : ) ]




[--Because the MARC train's conveniently close and not too expensive.  With an income.]



[--Because, even though things are complicated, at least I haven't had to sleep with anyone for money, and when I married someone who lived far away, no one didn't greet me at the train station because some jerk shot my husband and his kids.]

SOTD: Ennio Morricone - Once Upon A Time In the West: Addio a Cheyenne (this is #3's.)

DC DAY ONE!

[--Because of lunch with awesome RPCV ladies. Dutch sushi date?]




[--Because of the human ability for setting oneself up for destruction. Especially when related to relationships.]




[--Because of meetin' a whole slew of rad RPCVs. They're just cool people.]



SOTD: The Bell - Today

Hummus is yummus.

[--Because of all the people who replied to my grammar question.  Except maybe one.]




[--Because of yummus.]

[--Because of half an hour phone rants in Georgian.]



SOTD: Jhameel - How Many Lovers

Sci-fi movie night!

[--I only have a massive amount of editing work on my CV and resume before submitting.  For a part time internship.]



[--Because of cheesy, awesome eighties movies (one in particular) and the groups of nerds that watch them.  I now know, like, 9 people in this town!]




[--Because of instantaneous help with running routes from my roommate-- mapped out courses and offers to run with me when softball season's over.  Only catch is, I don't run a seven and a half minute mile.]


SOTD: El DeBarge - Who's Johnny.  This is the cheesy, awesome eighties movie I was talking about.

Jobs, friends, and emo songs.

[--For an Odenton friend count of THREE!! One of whom I don't live with, four if you count the sweet job center lady at the library.]

[--For slews of information about jobs and the MARC train and boosts of confidence ("You're so qualified!  You wrote three grants? WOW! That's a beautiful phrase you wrote!  I would hire you in a heartbeat!"), all from your friendly neighborhood library.]

[--'Bushka may or may not hate us.  Only seven days left!!!!!!]

SOTD: Aiden - Let the Right One In.  I said it before, I'll say it again here.  The video is awesome. 3:05-3:10 = my favorite part. 2:09 and 1:24 are nice, too. I also love the firey guitars and constant showing off of the neck tattoo.  Class.

Game day!

[--My roommate lent me his not-in-use wireless adapter, indefinitely.  Also, I picked up some speakers for a pretty good deal.  Thanks, craigslist, for once.]

[--Babushka (resident cat, currently suffering from an ear infection) didn't even squirm during med time... once we coaxed her out from underneath the chair, which was a long plan involving watching House for 30 minutes and then wrenching said chair backwards and tackling her.]

[--Because my roommates and a visiting friend choked down my mujadara with only, "It's... different from anything I normally eat," and "It's very dry."  xD  Two out of four liking my nonstandardAmerican cooking is a pretty good ratio, actually.]



SOTD: SEREBRO - Не время


Side note, the reason I haven't posted all the other replies until now are because I hadn't had Internet access of my own, remedied today as described in the first thank-snippet.
