Busy, busy summer.

I haven't made much of a "this is what I've been up to" update lately, because I'm a little overwhelmed by what that could entail. But that usually just means I end up doing some highlights. Cue bullet points.

• Last week the Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kickers had our first victory. There was much rejoicing. A trophy will now be passed game by game to the best play of the night.
  
• Currently, my favorite breakfast is a buckwheat waffle with blueberries and pecans at Julia's, with a side of bacon and a bottomless cup of their black tea. I've had it (or a close variation of it) about 3 times in the last month or so.
  
• It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful my colleagues are. I seriously work with some of the smartest, funniest, nicest, most interesting people I have ever met.
• I "guest blogged" on the Seattle Works website today. Feel free to chime in on that there discussion.
• I'm getting excited for New Orleans. I leave Sunday morning at the crack of dawn. As you probably already know, I'll be blogging while I'm there, here.
• I saw Brett Dennen at the Showbox on Saturday night. It was a chill, but very good concert.
• Half-price night at Southlake Grill is great, but the company is better.
• Mac 'n' cheese with jalepenos is great during happy hour.
  
• I found out some good news today, but I've already shared it with the important people in my life. So more on that later.
• I have a bug bite on my arm that I think is from a spider. It doesn't look so hot.
  
• My new roommates are cool. Still getting to know them, but the house has a good vibe to it these days.
• SLU Block Party is this Friday. I am both excited for it and relieved that it will soon be over.
• The last Cinema on the Lawn is at Block Party. These are my favorite, and I'm sad it's the last one.

On that note...
