Motion is a noun.

I spent the weekend in Boston for the Harvard National Model United Nations Conference. A few highlights:

Tara and Aaron Shute came to visit on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun. We went to the Tam, which as it turns out is a great edge-of-dive bar, where we met some INCREDIBLE kids from NH/ Berkley, chick named Amy with an amazing jacket and exceptional hair and a regular who knew everything about the bar, even why there was no door on the stall in the men's bathroom. Aaron Shute went home with SIX girls... Tara and I went back to the hotel and accidentally woke up Amy Greenwood. Shortly after returning, I got sick and we decided it was a good idea to sleep in the bathroom. Tara spent the night in the bathtub. I woke up at about 3:30 under the sink and freezing my ass off. Aaron Shute came back and we all slept. We'll strategically omit the unpleasantness from the next morning, but thank you, Katey for sticking up for me.

My homeboys from Mongolia, Myanmar (a country I did not know existed until this weekend)Malaysia, and Germany. Also, the invasion and conquer of Singapore, newly renamed "Disney World, Malaysia."

Discussing the merits of Phantom the movie with Gokul, the A.D. of my committee. He's wonderful. It was great.

The discovery that I can ROCK an eyepatch and legwarmers as business wear. This is very reassuring mostly because I have very little doubt in my mind I will accidentally put a mascara wand through my eye at some point.

Jennifer Ritter is awesome.

Best Thai food ever. I'm pretty sure I'm eating for two: me and my tapeworm. I consumed so much rice and soysauce, I shouldn't have had room for the Chicken and Asparagus Malaysian style that I snarfed like it was my job. Or the large quantity of cheesecake or the entire pizza from CPK or the poptarts, goldfish, burgers, etc. I love food.

Surviving taking the train by myself for the first time and having Matt pick me up and the subsequent hang time. We went to Waldenbooks and Panera and discussed morality, Fantastic Max, and the merits of putting my thumbs through a girl's eyes.

All in all, a good show.
