update from the front

still waiting for pictures from sunday. meanwhile, i've been having a great time. yesterday i saw Pirates of the Caribbean (best. movie. EVER.) with Randy, aka Boy Mozart, and then had official girl's night out with Jenine. today, antique malls -- i spent $20 and got 13 78s including Stan Kenton, Harry James, and a whole set of Bing Crosby Christmas songs, among others.

now i'm taking a quick break before i start making panang curry with beef, spinach, and red bell peppers, plus jasmine rice and cucumber salad. i have to make it no hotter than "medium" because Nat can't handle spicy food (because he's a big girl's blouse), which will be an adventure since i no longer have any sense of what anyone but me would consider "medium".

i go home tomorrow. i'm so ready. it's hot here, and i'm tired, and i have a cold and my throat is sore. whine, whine, whine.
