Happenings

So life has been fairly uneventful lately. I've more or less settled into the work life routine. I spend my free time and weekends doing things to distract myself. Hiking (see previous post), shows (I saw Andrew Bird last week and he was awesome), planning hypothetical vacations (anyone want to travel late summer?), and eating a lot of good food. Of the last point in particular, I've entered into something a little more official. I've recently become a D.C. area contributor for the food blog, Serious Eats, and I've had a couple of posts up so far. It's a little difficult for me to write in a voice that's not totally my own and for a public audience, but I suspect I'll get the hang of it. I figure, I search out good food and blog about it here sometimes anyway, it'll provide somewhat of a tangible aspect to recreational eating/blogging.



This was what I ate today and will write up for a post for SE's "A Sandwich A Day" column. It's ChurchKey's fried chicken Luther (fried chicken + bacon + doughnut). My post will go up on SE in the next couple of days, so to avoid a duplication of effort, look for my write-up there!

[Edit: It's up here.]

On another note, since I've started this blog, there have been periods of decreased activity during times where I've had a lot of schoolwork or was just stuck in the doldrums of routine. I think, despite my best efforts, I'm in a period of the latter. For all my years of being bothered by this, I've yet to come up with a good solution to this. I'm beginning to think it's my fault. There is, however, one major distraction coming up this week. To avoid outing myself as a total nerd (for those not already privy to this fact), I'll just say, May 15th will be an interesting day.
