Sorry for the non-posting as of late. I had some funky seafood on Saturday night and it messed me up for three days. I’ve been walking around hunched over like I was carrying an elephant or other large mammal.

Aside from the so-so seafood, Saturday night was great. Tarfia, Garrett, and Amanda joined me for a week-after-my-birthday birthday celebration. They drove in from Austin and took me out to dinner at Pappadeaux’s. I had a margarita and was feeling pretty good. I got to hear all about their (mis)adventures at various parties on Halloween night. Needless to say, I was most definitely outdone in terms of costume and behavior. It seems that all a girl has to do to come up with a badass costume is wear a short skirt and some really high boots. (Awwww yeah.) The rest is just details.
