You'd think that if someone posted a dresser on Craiglist at 10:55, and you responded by 11:00, that it would be yours. Not true. I've attempted to gain furniture for us with the same unlucky misses happening regularly. I've even included sob stories about being "recent graduates desperate for furniture" etc. . . and all I get is sincere apologies, which coming from faceless Craigslister's almost guilts me. Almost.

My grandmother is supposedly praying for me because she thinks I'll become lonely/overwhelmed/alcoholic/unemployed in the city. The last of which isn't so bad. Gram, if you could focus your prayers towards a free dresser, around 8 drawers, and 60'long in dark brown or black, that would be much appreciated.



On a positive note, the above pile has been long deconstructed. The place is really coming together, but not yet enough for the great reveal. Stay tuned.



This is a shot from around the hood. Everyone's familiar with "Cake Boss" on TLC - the show where obnoxious New Jersey-ites make outlandish cakes and bitch about it? Well, TLC has done the same for two sisters who sell expensive cupcakes in Georgetown. Since the show has aired, the line goes up and around the block. With an estimated wait time of 45 minutes. If the hundreds of people in that line volunteered their times towards the fight for cancer, we would probably have a cure. Actually, probably not - because they were dumb enough to stand in that line when the temp was over 100 degrees.



Although us young professionals are relentless in our pursuit of becoming the biggest of players in the game, some downtime is required. Pictured is Scott and our high tech entertainment system playing a Digital Video Disc, or DVD as it is commonly known.

Otherwise, the morning has been spent job searching, networking, and caffeine high's and low's. Till later.
