Missed a couple of months...
Trying real hard to keep this thing updated...but its so tough knowing whats what without the right hand column on the Nomadlife prime blog.

Anyways, the main purpose of this post, as its the only social media outlet I have left these days, is to share and show support for this article: http://www.slate.com/id/2202646 I too hate birthday dinners. They are a waste of money, the check is always annoying, the people you end up seated next to generally suck. Here are some alternatives to inviting everyone out to an expensive dinner or even an expensive bar:
1) Have a party. Everyone brings a bottle or a dish. They are fun and you can hang out with whom you'd like. You have to know someone in your life that has a decent apartment that will be gracious enough to throw a party for you.
2) BBQ: Same as the first. Cheaper, chiller, actually get to hang out with people you like. Lots of parks out there with grills, just add meat and charcoal.
3) Multiple, smaller gatherings: If the above doesn't work, dont get lazy about it. Just have a few different nights with different groups of friends having fun. No need to bring everyone together for an annoying dinner no one wants to be at.
Thats my rant. I almost always throw myself a birthday party at my apartment. Its just easy.
On to other notes:
- Was in Egypt for 2 weeks, met Sara's family, which was great. It was great being back in Egypt, especially to Sinai. What a beautiful place.
- Going to MN for my cousins wedding in late August. Hopefully seeing a Twins game!
- Computer crashed, switched to straight Ubuntu. Been working really well so far. Ubuntu 10.04 is getting close to prime time, with only a few annoyances, which can be solved with perseverance.
That's it for now...namaste (in honor of the Lost Epilogue).
