Are going to issue a citation for negligence. A lot has happened since the last update.

I am 25- halfway to fifty, all the way to crazy

I elected for a decidely low-key birthday. And it was low key, it still lasted the entire week. Highlights include =
* Rob getting Tilly & the Wall to wish me a happy birthday during the encore
* My mom sending me a first edition book of Eugene Field's poetry illustrated by Maxfield Parish
* Chicken Tikka Misala and Pumpkin Pie
* Spit and Eggs on Vmars nite along with chicken artichoke casserole and a sweet mandy b's cake
* Finding out in one day that I'd been offered two internships for next year

Other news of note

I saw Snow Angels last week. It left me with some questions, especially concerning the last 20 minutes, but I really liked so much about it. It stuck with me for the rest of the day and the next.

I got bangs

It is still depressingly winter-like and doesn't show signs of changing.

Sam so bim bap san

This weekend was eventful. Rob and I ventured southwest to Chicago Premium Outlets and successfully upped our business wardrobes with new suits! Even for a Saturday, the crowds weren't awful, lines weren't too bad, but we didn't manage to run into a rock of love castmate in the bathroom....can't win them all right?

The REAL highlight of the evening came with dinner. Rob was making good on losing a bet by taking me for Korean BBQ. We were both really tired from crappy sleep the night before a day of walking/shopping/driving, but decided that tonight was going to be filled with the aroma of grilled meats and pickled cabbage. We took a cab to San Soo Gab San (as I finally correctly remembered the name) and waited as they have no hostess, but rather motion to the line cramped in the entrance when a table is ready.

We were in for a delicious meat and mystery side dish filled evening.
The meal left us full, entertained and reeking of meaty smoke. We arrived home after a strange journey involving chasing a bus, running from pigeons and escaping a clan of soul-less ginger kids.

Now the weekend is flickering to an end and the week looms. While I am technically off school for the week, my new job has started, I still have to go to my internship and I have 2 interviews for next year, combined with a hair appointment. I am trying to will myself to do some laundry. I want to get to a point in my life when Sunday nights don't hurt this much.
