The Soda Pop Goat


This is the soda pop goat.

I made a budget for the semester. Mom's proud.

I'm having a bbq tomorrow! Call me about it.

hit that line, hit that line


[I took this picture when I was 7 years old or so]

I'm back in Arkansas ladies and gentlemen- half in the Fort, half in Fayetteville.

Barbecue at my house the first wednesday of school. Everyone is invited.

Its 9:33am in New York City, New York state.

I fly out of the city at 1pm, but Nathan is making me take a taxi at 11. I don't know what we're doing up so early. Nathan just fell back asleep on Meredith's bed I think. We did get up to tell Meredith thanks for the trip. She had to go to her fancy job in the finance world of the city.

Saw the Frogs with Nathan Lane, and it was good. I also saw The Two and Only. It is a really autobiographical, one-man show by a ventriloquist. Its the ventriloquist from the show "Soap". I don't know that show, but maybe my mom will. Nonetheless, it was really great as well.

Meredith loves Chelsea Peretti. I might now also. She has two new projects that are particularly interesting. You can visit the FundRace 2004! to search people in your area who donated money to politicians. They rule is absolutely addicting. It has a database of all of the top American companies and who is on their boards. The connections are endless.

chips and dip, chocolate chip meringue cookies, and two apples

Nathan and I are in Meredith's dorm room. He fell asleep, so I thought I'd write a little.

We woke up at 4 this morning, glorious 4, and Danis took us to the XNA to fly out. On both of our planes we had at least one screaming child.

Meredith couldn't meet us at her dorm this afternoon because she was upstate with her boss and people she works with. She let us chips and dip, chocolate chip meringue cookies, and two apples as a snack along with a welcome note. So ridiculously nice.

We spent the day walking around midtown, looking at things. Before coming back to the dorm, we stopped at a little diner where I had a bottle of water and Nathan ate some chicken noodle soup. We watched the passers by, and Nathan tried to convince me that a lady was a fortune teller. I wouldn't buy it. As soon Nathan wakes up, we're going to go eat at a restaurant called Radio Perfecto.

Tschuess, Servus

So, I just had some cake, ice cream, and coffee with everyone from the lab as a little goodbye thing as I leave.

So, thats it ladies and gents. Danke for reading and keeping in touch. I plan to keep the blog moving even after I get home, so keep checking it out as you wish. Have to go close my bank account and do some packing now.

So: Tschuess Deutschland. Es war Spass. Bis nachste mal.
