This afternoon I went to IKEA for the first time. I am in love. It is so cool and so huge! I now understand all the talk is not hype. Now I must reconcile myself with the horrible truth that there are no IKEAs near my normal home locations (if that can really be defined anymore). I bought three very cool things and spent only $8. Seriously, sweet.
I have some very exciting plans coming up in the future and have been making much better use of my time in the evenings, so I don't feel I'm at home all the time. I saw Batman Begins this week - finally. I also went out to dinner at Tivoli, a very nice Italian restaraunt in Arlington. The entree there was like nothing I had ever tasted before, and since there was a vegetarian option, one would assume the rest of us were eating a meaty dish, but no one could figure out what exactly the dish was...
I'm hoping that sometime in the next two weeks I'll make it in to Old Town Alexandria. It seems a shame that I have lived in Alexandria for nearly two months and haven't made it there yet. If I ever manage to move back to the DC area, I will most certainly be bringing a vehicle along. Geez.
Next weekend I'm going to Baltimore ( I think). This will be the first time I've managed to get up to Maryland, and I'm very excited about it. I hear that the Inner Harbor is magnificent.
The following weekend I'm going to Pennsylvania for a bit of whitewater rafting!!! I haven't done that since middle school and am looking forward to hanging out with the crowd Claire has assembled.
Those of you who are careful readers may have noticed that I've done some significant editing to previous posts. So sorry. Ask me later.
And thanks for checkin' in on me. :)

"Like everyone else, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct. If I saw something like a clever coffee table in the shape of a yin and yang, I had to have it. I would flip through catalogs and wonder, 'What kind of dining
set defines me as a person?' I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest,simple, hard-working indigenous peoples of wherever."

What!?! No Boston plans. I am hurt, offended and some other words that I can't think of. Anyhow, it seems like you are having a lot of fun. And when I call Missouri/Kansas the middle of nowhere next time, think, 'he's right... there's no IKEA...'
