"Combination hookah and coffee maker! Also makes Julienne fries! Will not break! Will not— ...It broke."
Anyway, this was a weekend in trade-offs. Making lanterns at Creative Alliance meant I couldn't have a quiet evening at home on Friday. Having a quiet evening with friends watching Idiocracy and playing Settlers of Catan on Saturday meant I had to give up seeing Mirah. And doing the rain-delayed Lantern Walk and seeing Sac au Lait on Sunday meant I had to skip CalebS&tBm/Wye Oak.
I don't regret any of the decisions I made. But in order to do all I want to, clearly I need to master time travel.

The weekend consisted mostly of drinking and shopping but I did take my mom out to dinner at Metropolitan after the Ravens game yesterday and I gotta say the food was pretty great - kind of expensive but the portions were big and delicious.
A+ WOULD BUY AGAIN
