07 20th, 2009

I have been ridiculously busy. No, that’s a lie, because I’m pretty sure most of my time has been spent watching West Wing DVDs. And yet it’s July 19th. When did THAT happen?

Things I have actually done since getting here:

  • Went to the Botanical Garden with Beth (just today actually)
  • Saw Half Blood Prince (um, twice)
  • Went to SLAM, with Beth and with Paul
  • Went to the History Museum, with Michelle and Abby
  • Took a road trip to Chicago and went to Hot Doug’s and Krispy Kreme
  • Rode the Metro all available ways (into Illinois, into St Louis on both red and blue lines, almost the whole way along both of them)
  • Took public buses
  • Saw Transformers 2, The Proposal, Star Trek (twice), Up!, Night at the Museum 2, Year One, at the movies
  • Saw Fight Club, Supernatural seasons 1-3 and some of 4, West Wing seasons 1-3 almost, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Twilight, on DVD,
  • Ate stuff from McDonalds, Imo’s, Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Lee’s, The Creve Couer Lakehouse (last night), 54th Street Grill, Olive Garden, Sonic, KFC, A&W/Long John Silver’s, That 50s Place, Blueberry Hill, Cold Stone Creamery, Chick-Fil-A…
  • Tried corn on the cob, zucchini, corndogs, fried green beans, toasted raviolis, root beer, Italian soda, Italian cake, ‘American’ cake, American baked beans, pulled pork…
  • Seen The Remus Lupins, Gred and Forge, Tonks and the Aurors and The Whomping Willows Live. (G&F twice, TRL three times - after having missed TRL a year ago, I then saw them three times in the space of a month here. Random and awesome.)

As for things I still need to do, well attending a baseball game is up there, along with visiting the Arch, and I know Danielle has a list.

…I felt bad for not having updated so I overcompensated. Sorry.

I bought the issue of Time magazine with the wrock article in it (and also an article about why Scotland’s sheep are shrinking, which I’m actually wondering about now so much that I really want to read it XD) and y’know, some kind of commentary may be forthcoming…you know I love to comment on Muggle coverage of wrock :-P

Anyway. I’m going to go now and watch some more West Wing. I found Heinz baked beans today and that made me happy :-D
