Happy day



















If we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us. 1 John 4:19

Too many Amish















Bus trip to PA, then Chili's.































Later in Lancaster, Chris took me to one of his local watering holes.















Pretty weak, but it did the trick.















Uh-oh, Chris is attracting attention.
















See.

some of you may wonder...

what I do--Leti. Well among other things I have helped coordinate the largest public interest legal career fair in the country. I'm heading up student registration today and tomorrow (1000+ sukas each day).


























This was the view from our table for the employer lunch, during which I got mad props from the Dean.

Gracie Update


















Yup, still cute.

Home Sweet Yeahright















It's been awhile since I bitched about our apartment, so here it goes. Our buzzer hasn’t worked for over a year. They finally replaced them this week. They look hospital-esque and they don't do junk. Well, I should say they are pretty handy for listening to what is happening on the street, but the door buzzer doesn’t work. Half ass, that is the way they do stuff around here. I can't wait to live in a giant cookie cutter brand new plastic yet lush apartment complex! I'm through with these 19th century pieces of s.

Oh yeah, Monday night Ernest and I went to see Josh Johnson's (JJ) band at the Knitting Factory. The band is Tyler Read, and their new cd is gonna be in "best buy, jc pennys, you know all those fancy stores" soon. Katie Jo was also there. It was funny seeing her in New York (she lives here now in case you did not know). We made plans to see each other again, but she lives in the Upper West Side, which might as well be Mars.

beer is proof that God loves us...















Over the weekend we spent 10 dollars for unlimited beer, bread, cheese and pickles. If you're ever in NY, go to Jimmy's. The place is the shiznit and they have Aventinus on tap.















Annie and Cristy had like 29 beer between them. And about 4 loaves of bread.















Communication hub.















Afterwards, Cristy took us to Mud for coffee. She loves it there.















She kept telling us how they have the best croissants.















Sofia had to get away from her, because she was starting to get violent.















"SEE, THEY ARE RIGHT HERE!" She punched in the glass after this photo.















Chill out girl we believed you.

Desperate Times...

Two comments from two phone conversations while putting together a puzzle about the fact we were putting together a puzzle.















Pops: A puzzle? I would never do that.















Homeless: You bunch of fruits.

Both true. But come on. It was freezing outside, what else are we gonna do?

1.30.2007















Bonnie's again. We can't help ourselves.















That beer looks bigger than Sofia's head. After dinner, Sofia needed a piece of chocolate cake. Great! Just what I want to do in 20 degree weather, search the 'hood for cake.















Our first stop was Cocoa Bar. They had dozens of cakes. Sofia turned down every single one.
















Next was Sweet Melissa, again dozens of cakes, nothing good (according to Sofia). We finally did find a piece at a restaurant near the house and I must admit, it was delicious. Good choice Sof!

My Choice
















In the last week there has been a lot of hub-bub about the 2008 Presidential race. Today I (Sofia may not agree) am throwing my weight behind this man.

Stay out of the water.

Uhh, I Got Nothin'

But check out this brown pigeon...















...they are all over the place in Soho.

Back Numbers, Coming 02/27/2007!






















From Zoe Records:
Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips are best known for being one-half of Luna, one of the most critically acclaimed rock bands of the past two decades. Wareham is also known for fronting the seminal indie band Galaxie 500. As Dean & Britta, they have scored for films (the Academy Award-nominated The Squid and the Whale among them) and worked with producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex) on their lauded debut album, L'Avventura. Back Numbers, also produced by Visconti, picks up where L'Avventura left off, with the spotlight on Dean & Britta's laconic, dreamy vocal interplay on originals like "Words You Used to Say" and "Wait for Me," along with covers of '60s gems such as The Troggs' "Our Love Will Still Be There" and Lee Hazlewood's "You Turned My Head Around."

Dude, I love this.

Do you?

That ain't gonna fly here.















Breakfast at Charlie's. Get it whenever yr in Boston.















Whilst Sofia slept off her breakfast, Steve and I mailed some stuff.















It was a crusty day.

































Later we went to the Publick House. There was a line to sit and eat when we walked in. To pass the time I went to the bar to order a couple brewskies. Now this next part won't be a surprise if you've seen my drivers license.

Me: Uhhh, Brooklyn Pilsner and a Smuttynose IPA. Thanks.
Bartend 1: Ok, I need to see yr ID and the ID of the other person drinking.
Me: Alright.....here you go.
Bartend 1: Hmmmmm.
Me: A renewal sticker is on the back.
Bartend 1: Hmmmmm.
Me: I was 15 then.
Bartend 1: Hey Joe, take a look at this.
Bartend 2: Nope, that ain't gonna fly here.

Ughhhh. It's true, my ID sucks, but they didn't have to be jerks about it. Luckily the server for our table didn't card us. Great system.

















This is the best. If you ever see it, get it.















We met Rahul and Tessa later. Oh and before we met up with them another bar denied my ID.































Fed up with Stew's antics.















Hey Javier, check this out.















Deluxe don't ID, my kind of place.
