so it's mid july and.... i want to catch up on blogging. i feel like i've come up for air. but it's all too much to really recap. michael's visiting and our week has been full; on the 4th we left teresa's party early to go to the oceanside pier to watch the fireworks. i don't think i've seen fireworks since i moved out here.
in other news, i finally have a laptop that mostly works, except for the cd drive. alex sent me a surprise package containing the adventures of captain underpants and the user illusion. how sweet is that? :D i've been reading how the universe got its spots and i'm really impressed with the voice she uses -- a gritty mixture of poetry, personality & science. i think brian will really like this book.
today michael & i went to ikea where they still didn't have the one thing i wanted. then we went to game empire and then to barnes & noble. then we went to the fashion valley apple store and finally onto balboa park, which michael still hadn't seen and i think really enjoyed. he likes places with unique architecture. we ate dinner at prado. yum.
