the only vampires i like are vampire weekend

doing room checks in my buildings today and encountered this man in moore hall. had the interesting opportunity to see the first twilight film while on an 18 hr bus trip back from georgia in november. i didn't know the characters were available in life size form.

lovers of central america

spent the afternoon in an assembly line of one putting together welcome back gifts for the romero community kids with framed notecards with a quote from the archbishop purchased from a website that kaela sent me. fitting as today is the anniversary of her birth. the second photo (not taken in 2010) celebrates my love for her.

the brynwood

weekly date night with ageorge: one bottle of sustainably grown wine + one chick flick + one bff + lots of gossip= great night. always.

$1 premium lagers

first of many good happy hours this evening with good work folk. added a new coaster to my coaster collection in which i take great pride hailing from 3 continents and many countries....a lot from my unsophisticated high school days at ruby tuesdays & tgi fridays.

baggage claim

kelly flew in from visiting her family in the midwest and i picked her up from the airport around 11:30 pm. i love taking people to and from the airport. it just seems to me to be a nice thing you can do for someone and expect nothing in return. in bethel i would love going to airport- mostly because it was the furthest you could go in town. i think mostly though, i like pretending that i'm in the heathrow scene of love actually. maybe i should start playing some beach boys during my trips to philly int'l

nuclear codes

jess and i hit some after holiday sales at the premium outlets- and took in the site of the nuclear stacks. even though it was ridiculously cold- we scored some great deals.

olympus event

i have discovered this new phenomenon of the "365" a challenge to take one photo a day- either of something common that you do everyday- or something great that happens...and because i expect 2010 to be fantastic, i'm updating the hype to reflect this instead of making the world a more complicated place with one more blog- or coming up with a better name that the one that currently exists. so today, january 1st, 2010 will have to be a photo from midnight- first moment of a new decade from nora's surprise birthday party last night- amy ringing in the new year:
