My Weekend

Saturday
- Shopping at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale while Tony was at the dentist.
- Experienced a nice slice of New Jersey culture when Tony took me to Seaside Heights AKA "Sleezeside" AKA "the Jersey Shore." You know when people from out of town come and visit and all they want to do is see Hollywood? And when you take them there, they are really disappointed because it's all dirty and there's nothing much to see? That was the Shore. I hear my coworkers get really excited about going to the Shore. Turns out it's a combination of a carnival (the boardwalk), carnival food (fried oreos, funnel cake, and salt water taffy), a dirty beach, and a bunch of gangsta high school kids hanging out. On the plus side: we found an arcade that had Paperboy and the Simpsons which I haven't played since I was a kid!

Sunday
- Wandered around a street fair.
- Serendipitously bumped into the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party and had some delicious ribs and pulled pork sandwich. Also won a water bottle from Snapple and sampled the new Coke with vitamins!
- Sold some books at Book Off!
- Did some spring cleaning.
