holy moly - it's hot and muggy here. my apartment is in desperate need of a cleaning, but i seem to prefer sitting in front of the fan and moving in small increments every once in a while. actually, it's not that bad if you stay inside, but then it seems like a waste of a sunny day when they are so few and far between here anyway.
it was a quick week, though, particularly given that i spent most of it cou
nting down to my "day off" on friday. i met matt in morgantown, wv on what has got to be one of the hottest days yet. we actually met at this cute little brewery (yes, it is green). but you can sit outside out back in a spot that overlooks the river, so i was happy (and then i was sunburned:) we had the best of intentions to take advantage of all of the outdoor activities that morgantown had to offer, but mostly just saw the old stone house (below) before calling lacey and asking her what the heck we were close to that we could do inside.
bless her heart, she led us to the somewhat archaic bowling alley where we split a couple of games and decided to leave it like that lest our competitive natures lead to the demise of our friendship. really the rest of the day consisted of jukeboxes and happy hours and the unsuccessful search for a pool table. it was the company that was meant to be enjoyed, anyway, and enjoyed it certainly was.

one thing i think my parents in particular will appreciate is that i have once again broken my strappy sandles. i wish i could find a picture to put up of them, but they are inexplicable except for their grecian influence. the funny part is that i broke one of them two or three years ago playing kickball at family reunion. urban outfitters actually sent me a replacement pair and it was this pair of replacements that met their demise in morgantown. it's actually very sad - i've never seen another pair like them which makes them exactly the type of shoes that i love to have. but they are of little use to me, i suppose, if i can't keep them attached to my feet and i suppose they have already lasted a good couple of years longer than they should have (there is still debate as to whether i was actually deserving of said replacement pair).
