Any good vacations? I went on three mini-trips (DC, SF, Lake George) and they were all really nice. I also watched all of West Wing, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and played some Fire Emblem.

Went to a wedding in TN in May and hung out with freepizza and several of our mutual friends. Had a new baby in June. No time to do anything cool since then. Well, having a baby is pretty cool though.
I think Jess and Alex is a pretty cool gal. seh has all plant naems and doesn't afraid of anything.

Hmm, I haven't gone on any vacations, but I guess I have done a good handful of things.
Dance (hip hop) practice with friends every Tuesday. I started up with this back in late March and after practicing all of our new stuff all summer I'm really starting to get the hang of it, which is great. Went to a hip hop intensive a few weeks ago (videos are in that other topic I made about it a couple weeks back) and had tons of fun, but was totally outclassed.
My cousin's family moved in with us at the beginning of May and there was a good deal of helping take care of my two nieces (5 years old and 6 months old respectively.)
Saw a few movies: Super 8, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Notable because I usually don't watch movies; in fact, the only reason I've seen so many recently is because I have two friends who work at the Pacific Science Center, and they get free passes to the IMAX moviehouse located on site. It's been years since I've seen that many movies in the span of a few months, let alone a whole year.
Event planned a few adventures for me and my friends, including going to a really good Korean BBQ place, and also going to Seattle's annual food festival, the Bite of Seattle. Also went to a friend's debut, which is like the Filipino version of a quinceanera.
Volunteered at Seattle's own annual Filipino cultural festival, Pista sa Nayon. I'm 5'11" and I put my 6'2" friend on my shoulders to help us get attention for our booth. We were the tallest thing around for miles. Also volunteered for the local high school outreach group retreat that I've been helping with for the last 3 years. I got maybe 5 hours of sleep over that entire weekend.
Took my sister to Western Washington University a couple weeks ago for her college orientation and so she could meet a few of my friends who go to school there. She starts college in just a couple weeks. Can't believe it. Some of the high school kids I've worked with in the past have already started at other colleges, which is still weird for me to think about.
Got laid off last Friday (made a topic about that too.) Having a mildly entertaining 'staycation' at home while looking for jobs and dealing with some house things.
I guess I've done more than I thought! So... please excuse my lack of posting volume recently.

I went to a buddy's house in the mountains of northern NY. That was kind of fun.
I met a young woman who doesn't suck and got laid a lot. That ate up a lot of hours.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

Was it a car or a cat I saw?
You moved to Boston without having a place to live?

I'm staying with some family friends in the mean time.
