I have got great news for everyone! If your one complaint about my blogging is that it doesn't happen enough, then I am happy to introduce you all to a brand new vegan foodie and blogger. This blog is a suitable supplement to mine as its author and I have many shared experiences. In fact, I feature prominently in many of her posts!
The blog is called My Peanut Butter is Tachy and can be found here.

February Update
Hey all,
Sorry for the lack of posts. Things have really picked up in the last week and a half. Drew made definitive plans for New York. He is leaving in two weeks - though, if you know Drew and also read this blog, pretend you don't know when he tells you. We are now in the process of looking for a new roommate and helping Drew out in any way we can.
We also just returned from a fabulous February weekend trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea. Joe and Becca Foster, Eric, Arisa, Drew, Evan, Kari and I all drove to Salinas last Friday. We stayed at a friends that night and went strait to Monterrey the following morning. After breakfast we drove down along HWY 1 until we hit Big Sur. We did a short hike there before turning around and heading to our house in Carmel. The house we rented for a significantly discounted rate (way to go Eric) and was amazing! Sometimes I use "amazing" a bit to liberally but in this case, it is completely justified. The house was both spacious and quaint. It had new hardwood floors, a huge kitchen, large marble fireplace and incredibly cozy furnishings. On top of all that, it was a block and half from downtown!
I will try to post pictures later but first I have to procure some from Eric or Kari, who both have better cameras than I and who I deferred to for the weekend's photo taking opportunities.

A Weird Place
Ok, I am in a weird place right now. It is transitional, it is temporary, it is not a bad place, it is just a weird place.
Drew (roommate) is undergoing some fairly significant changes. He just went Apple crazy, bought a macbook pro, an iPhone, cases for both and even some paid apps (getting real crazy). This is even more unsettling as for the past three years Drew has been among the small number of people who contested Apple's superiority. He would have heated arguments with people he barely knew about how much better a PC was and how people only bought apple to be seen with an apple.
This change of Drew's is however, shadowed by the still larger move he plans to make to New York. These plans have rapidly accelerated in the past few weeks and we are now talking about him moving out at the end of the month. (Note for mutual friends: don't freak out, Eccl. 1:2)
Evan (other roommate) is undergoing similar changes. He also recently became the proud owner of an iPhone and is also contemplating the future in serious terms.
These major developments have put a timeline on our little Country Club Commune and have accelerated my anxiety about the near future. This anxiety will subside. Even though applications are submitted I still have a substantial list of things to be doing in the meantime such as pursuing new creative outlets, planning for summer, becoming an amateur ornithologist. I also have to continue training for a half marathon, go to the bank, order contacts, get groceries, and do countless other menial tasks just to maintain life.
Still, I can't help but feel unsettled when so many things remain in the air and new tasks are constantly arising.
Laundry! I always forget about laundry. The worst part about always forgetting laundry is occasionally remembering. Occasionally remembering laundry is always remembering an impending underwear shortage.
