Favorite Thing: over the weekend

This weekend, I went to New Jersey to attend a family event with Jack. I was also able to visit my brother in Saddle Brook, NJ. We spent Saturday morning shopping in Manhattan, and it was a good time all around. But here is my favorie thing from the weekend:

Jack and I spent Friday night at Nick's apartment. We arrived at 1:30am. My brother was still awake, blogging. The blog topic? Top Ten Horrible People from Ohio. The blog post is hilarious in and of itself (find it here-- http://mgobff.blogspot.com) , but the late night conversation that it sparked was one of those intangibly hilarious and good moments that I wish I could just suspend and replay, over and over. And as my brother pointed out "When I set out to do this, I was thinking "Drew Carey" would be on the list. But, as I got into my research, I started to discover that there are a ton of really, genuinely bad people from Ohio--like Charles Manson. Go figure. I'm really struggling now to keep this light hearted, dammit."


So, what was your favorite thing from the weekend?

Revamp.

This is going to be revamped as a place of discovery--a place where i hope to hear about many new, exciting, and interesting things from a variety of people.

I plan to adhere to a list of regular themes, such as "top 10," "local wonder," "blatant consumerism," "awesomeness" and "goal," and I hope that these themes will open up some cool discussions here.

Over the next few days, look for a lot of visual changes here, and a start on those themes. Feel free to provide feedback and suggestions for regular themes as well.
