back in dc

yes, i made it back to dc, it's good to be back.

the wedding was fine, the food was pretty unimpressive though. it was a chinese banquet type dinner full of staples such as conch, abalone, and sharkfin soup. for those of who don't know, conch is almost inedible as it takes two minutes to chew and alabone is a giant deformed clam. i should've just not ate anything in the first 8 courses and just had the steak, chicken, fried rice and noodles at the end. take notes if you ever go to a chinese wedding, edible food at the end.

i also almost had a heart attack this morning when the NYT sports section had an aritcle describing how Carlos Beltran ran into a wall and was writihing in pain and the stadium in a huge hush and that he got carted off for xrays. that was the entire article. you should've seen the fury i went on to get more info. he's ok i think though.
