Cleansing bar!!!

Monday was Mike's and my 2 year anniversary! Just two years and two days ago, we met in New York and decided to give it a go long-distance, sparking a year and a half of driving every one or two weeks to see each other 260 miles away. (For a recap, see Mike's blog here [though he makes it seem, out of context, like some sleazy tryst... typical male] and here.) I have very fond memories of those long months afterwards -- I even have fond memories of the drive (I miss those 4.5 hour drives through forested Pennsylvania and the excitement that would hit me when I reached the 3/4 way point at Hazleton) -- but we're extremely happy to be living together now. Holidays are stalking us. There Christmas is, right in front of us, lazily munching on some grass; we raise our rifle to take the shot, but then BAM! New Years and a whole host of inadequacy issues attack us from the sides. We never even knew they were there. I can't believe it's going to be 2008 soon. My youth! My youth! In other juvenile news that I'm sure will solidify your impression of me as a shameful time waster, I've discovered that the best way to play Starcraft is with 80s music on in the background. The other day Kyrie Eleison (not the prayer, the Mr. Mister song) came on in the background as I wiped the Protoss off the map, and hoo boy it was amazing. (Dork.)
