i forgot to mention all the madras shorts

well, i sure was a heap of nasty mood all day today. i had a fantastic weekend, so i'm not sure what crawled up my ass and died to make me feel so hate-filled toward everyone, but... wow. i was not fun to be around. sorry, everyone who had to encounter me today!

maybe i should have brought the totally sweet nintendo dsi i got yesterday to work with me...? because HOLY SHIT, Y'ALL, thanks to lilu and brand about town, i attended a neat-o session where some nice girls showed us what the dsi does and let us play some games, before just... GIVING them to us. i didn't have to show my boobs or anything! win!

so that was awesome, obviously. saturday was also money, as the lovely dasi was in from chicago for the weekend. we met up at her friend's house and headed to georgetown for a night of mocking the men in georgetown. seriously: we went to a bar that was playing 80s music that night, and dasi kept incredulously asking if the guys were confused, and maybe thought they were supposed to dressed up in 80s clothes too....? but alas, no. guys in georgetown actually UNironically wear pastel shirts with sweaters draped over their shoulders, mirrored sunglasses on croakers hanging backwards around the necks, and of course, loafers and boat shoes aplenty (when not wearing the arlington brown flip flop, obvs).

also jammed into the weekend was spending some time with a friend from my airline days who was also in town, happy hour with the girls on friday night, yet another uneventful okcupid date on saturday afternoon, and a crab feast dinner with the crew on sunday night. good stuff, right?

so, with the weekend out the way, i am now free and clear to officially start freaking the eff out about blogher. um, i leave in TWO DAYS. i finally today got my cards printed up, and read through the sessions so i have at least a vague idea of what i want to be doing while i'm there. still left to do: figure out what the HELL to pack; fit that into a carry on. do people usually bring laptops around with them to all the sessions? pseudostoops and i discussed this briefly, and figured the answer to that is probably yes, but also that we were probably going to bring a pad and pencil to be all archaic-like.

oh, also? OMG EFFFF AM SO UNPREPAAAARED! but excited. and hell, i have business cards now, which totally makes me An Official Blogger. it's in the handbook.
