Thank You for Thanks Giving

11.18.07 : compute like the mad computer nerd I have become for a presentation Monday morning
11.19.07 : class from 12 - 3, then work 4 to 8, back to school for more, walk home from the train - home by 11:30
11.20.07 : work 9-6 at 8.8, run errands, home by 9, pack my bike, sleeping bag, and much more in a duffel bag
11.20.07 : get on a bus to DC and leave my big city whoas behind - way way behind

I met up with the cool kids in DC last week and had some much needed mad fun. I didn't want to leave - ever ever. There were more opportunities to play and laugh than I have had in way too long. It was totally aws.



Boyzz - fearless leaders of bike adventures and coordinating biking bags. Thanks for teaching me a thing or two on the bikes.
You know you needed a vacation when sleeping on the floor with the dog is the most refreshing feeling in the world. Or maybe it just means you miss your dog. Or maybe it just means you need a boyfriend.
I found the elusive Alexis! Who's shared the east coast with me way too long to not have gotten together. Doesn't she look elusive?
Look how much they love each other, all cozy like that.


I'm positive I didn't have the best pictures of the group, but I had one of the best videos. Andrew, thanks for being a rad host and having such a lovely place to escape to, and for always keeping things interesting. I didn't even get a group shot so I could call you all out, but you guys are always sooo much fun. Thanks for letting me in on some good times. I think we should all live within a 1 mile radius in a really cool city that we can play in always.
Loved it. I want some more!

Gotta love this Christmas party invite I got from my friend Jana

I need to find me a country boy

I went to the Avett Brothers concert tonight at Webster Hall with Lindsey, a friend I made at the last live music I saw which was also awesome, but way too long ago to have not seen each other, or live music since. Did you catch that?
I hadn't heard of them before going, but Lindsey mentioned they were blue grass and I thought "I can be into that"




Loved it, loved them. We were both transfixed by the country boys (sorry Josh). They're a little "newsie-ish". The lead singer especially was a lot Ryan Gosling-ish (after he goes crazy) in the the Note Book. Plus they were awesome live. Way way good live. They would be fun to see at a music festival.
North Carolina here I come!

Big 100

I just noticed this is my 100th post. What a nerd.
Unfortunately I haven't come up with a clever 100th post - like "100 reasons that I'm happy today" or "100 reasons i love to blog"
I was really just wanting to post this awesome email I received today:

From: "Kate Danielowski"
To: "Jessica Baucom"
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:37:47 -0500
Subject: Lost Purse

Hi Jessica,

Your purse was found by a gentleman named Omar. He called to give his information so you could retrieve your wallet from him. When you get this email, you can get in touch with him at 646-530-6294. He said that he works on West 27th Street, so hopefully the pickup won't be too inconvenient. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything.

Thanks
Kate

Now that's fabulous news. If anyone is interested in calling Omar and thanking him for me go ahead. He's a security guard at an art gallery. I meet him tomorrow on 27th street and 10th avenue - [does anyone know where that is? It's freak'n far west. That's like all the way to the Hudson River]

Now I just need to figure out how to reward Omar. Hmmmm.
