FRIED!

Hello, good people of the internet.

Today I walked in the out-of-doors instead of the skyway to get my hummus sammich, because it’s springtime in January. Walking past the federal courthouse, I again noticed the phenomenon. The bottom part of the building is curved in a sort of half-circle, and when the sun reflects off the windows, it has a convex-mirror effect; there’s a 10-foot circle of sun on the sidewalk that’s HOT. Like, summer hot. It’s bizarre to walk through it.

So what I’m wondering is if this spot gets so hot in the summer that it will fry me like an ant under a magnifying glass. I can’t wait til July to find out!

I had a few days of relative quiet before vacation, but the upcoming weeks are kind of booked-up and crazy. Tonight we’re migrating cock night to Gameworks, because Suzi’s is kind of lame now, and dude! Zombies and DDR! The weekend is devoted to truffling, so those of you who ordered will be hearing from us probably on Monday. Next week I have an appointment with my accountant, Edward (seriously, it’s funny everytime I say it), .NET class (in which we’ll learn to do even more than make a form to calculate a 20% discount), and orientation for Habitat for Humanity. Thursday is free, should you like to go out then.

This morning, I bought plane tickets! But not for Alaska! My dad will be spending another month in the Washington DC area again, so we’re going to take advantage of a free place to stay go visit him. I’m really excited because we’re going right in the middle of the cherry blossom festival, the first weekend in April. I’ve always wanted to see it. Also, I’m going to see whether or not Northwest Airlines is indeed lying when they tell me I get free upgrades to first class. Pretty sure I already know the answer to that.

And lastly, because it’ll probably be a while before I get my travel journal done, here are my snorkeling photos. I took them with a Fuji underwater camera. They’re not framed very well because, well, YOU try looking through a viewfinder with a snorkeling mask on.

Over and out!
