i've been hearing from more than a few people that they're upset i haven't been posting too frequently lately. mainly i've just been lazy, sorry. also, i've been a bit busy this summer...
well, i've certainly eatenmy share of burgers this summer. ray's is the best piece of meat, but i think central still wins top overall burger in my book. and burgers aren't the only thing i've been eating, but the list of restaurants i've been to this summer would seriously bore you.
back in june i headed out west (to south dakota!) to be the maid of honor in emily's wedding. it was a whirlwind (long)weekend where we tried to fit in everything rapid city has to offer. some of the highlights: mount rushmore, taking my picture w/ tj, the presidential parade (scratch that - it was a big bust), three dollar giant beers, and of course the wedding!
and my absolute favorite part of the summer - outdoor concerts! i made it out to wolftrap three times this summer. once in the rain (well, really it was more like a monsoon), but the other two were on absolutely gorgeous nights. sadly it'll be the last summer we can see h&tbf since hootie (aka darius rucker) has left the band to do this.
and it's a leap year, which means olympics and elections - two of my favorite things! the opening ceremony back on 08.08.08 was simply genius. the communist chinese work ethic really showed in the perfectly executed drum sequences. but more amazing than the opening ceremonies were the athletes themselves. phelps, bolt, may & walsh, johnson, liukin, among others. and bob costas didn't even get on my nerves as much as he ususally does. although nbc's obvious pro-american (and pro-phelps) slant was pretty awful.
and what do i have to look forward to? well, i just moved into a brand new apartment and now i have a nice, quick commute! at the end of the month i'm headed to austin, tx (finally!) for austin city limits. [if anyone has suggestions of what to do in austin please let me know!] and of course, the best place to go in the fall - charlottesville!

austin is completely sweet. anywhere on sixth street will be fun. ton's of live music everywhere. there's a dualing piano bar that's awesome. also make sure to hit up the dizzy rooster so you can pretend you're on the real world.
