Surprise!

Ha, I’m back! Somehow, even after nearly six months of inactivity, there is always someone who checks this blog every day. Weird (creepy?), and I’m sure thoroughly unsatisfying. But today’s the day, my friends, when things will begin appearing here again. Sporadically.

Most important business of the last six months– I finally met/fell in love with Chloe. Most snuggly dog in the world! She’s over 60 lbs of pure doggy adorableness.

Among the adorable things she does is sit shotgun during car rides. She looks placidly out the window and tilts her body away from the curve when the car goes around a corner. It’s hilarious. She’s a genius, and totally understands physics.

She also plays board games like a member of the family. Here she is using one of her diversionary tactics on Nicholas, so perhaps he will forget the location of the golden goose. Totally sneaky.

In other news, since returning to the states I have gotten a job and a half, joined a community orchestra, befriended some Japanese dudes, learned how to be a neuroscientist (I also learned how to make it look really hard, so other people think I’m smart), become domestic, and eaten Mexican food, take-out Chinese, and Vietnamese food– sometimes all in one week. Yep, that’s six months of my life. Here’s hoping for more exciting things to come. (“More exciting” as in, better than this. Not as in additional fun things like the things listed, because that’s just sad. Even I can do better.)
