Washington D.C.

Well, Jake is sitting in the living room watching Wimbledon, so I guess I have time to sit and write more here...

So far, Jake and I have gone to see the Senate Gallery, went to the Folklife Festival on the Mall, shopped at Eastern Market, and rented out canoes in Georgetown. Last night, we went to a kareoke bar with Justin, but none of us sang. I looked to see if "Baby got back" was one of the song selections, and it wasn't...Lelani, how are we going to make sure that the place we go to eventually this summer has it?

Well, I was going to try to put some pictures up but I can't seem to get it to work on Jake's computer...I guess that I'll wait until I get home.

Brats

Here are some pictures of Lelani and me eating brats at Bratfest. One day, we want to have a eating contest (we're considering soft-shell tacos...is that a good contest food?). Lelani will probably beat me. We peer pressured each other into eating 5 brats a piece the day of Bratfest. I freaked myself out by thinking that I was going to make myself puke. I was definitely ready to be done after those 5 brats, but Lelani said she could keep going. Her goal is to train to be a real competitive eater. I have faith that she can do it. Dude, check out the website for the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
There's a brat eating contest in Sheboygan on August 6th! Lelani, let's get in on that! Whoa, the first place winner gets $4000... I'm supposed to graduate with my Master's degree on August 6th, but since I'll have to pay a bunch of money to buy a cap/gown/hood, I don't think I'm going to walk for graduation. I think I need to go to Sheboygan instead! Hey Lelani, isn't Sheboygan one of those places with lots of wealthy, eligible men? Maybe we could pick one up for you at the Brat-eating contest! ;) Hee-hee.

Jeopardy!

One day, I think I want to be a Jeopardy! contestant. I think I need to put myself through some training before I do that, though. I tried to go and play their online game, but I couldn't the thing to work on my computer. I rock at the Playstation 2 Jeopardy! game, though. I can't wait to go to Jake's so I can play against Jake and beat him for, like, the 50th time...

Plasma

I found out that I can't go in to donate plasma more than 2 times in a seven day period. I already donated on Wednesday and Saturday. Poopy. I was hoping to make some extra money before I leave to see Jake.

I feel like such a bum. I hope I can survive without a summer job.

Leaving for D.C.

I'm leaving to see Jake again on Thursday. I'm looking forward to going out there again. I think we're going to go into D.C. to check out the parade and fireworks on the 4th. I'm not sure what else we're going to do. I sort of want to look into renting a canoe from the boat center in Georgetown. Jake, can we do that? Anyway, I can't wait to get out of Eau Claire. It's so boring to live alone...

This is me on a boat in Virginia Beach. We went dolphin-watching that day.
