I met up with one of my friends today after months of no contact. We had an all girls day, starting with lunch and ending with a Whole Foods run (with a slew of other activities/errands in between). But what I found really interesting was that she said I should change my blog to be more food orientated. Apparently my food experiences in the DMV are exciting for her, a more recent important from the Midwest.
I guess I am considering this option. What do you think?

Upgrade.
In case you haven't noticed, I revamped the blog a little. I hated the totally generic template of it all, with no customizations of my own to make it unique. I was lazy and busy with work, applications, friends, life, etc. But I've been in a different mood this past week, and I've already changed many things in my life to keep things fresh.
I spent a good half day revitalizing little things here and there on the site. It's been quite a while since I've dabbled in coding, so I was a bit rusty. The tweaks are still being made as we speak, but this is a good start.
Another "upgrade" that I'm uber excited about is my cell phone! I've had the same old Blackberry Curve 8310 for the past TWO YEARS, and if you know anything about me, it'd be that my phone is so wrecked. I've dropped it hundreds of times - and it definitely shows. The paint's chipped, the corners have fallen off, it's just a dead little, but loyal, companion of mine. I made a spontaneous decision one fateful night to get the...

Blackberry Torch!
And I love it! I was afraid I wasn't going to like the new sliding design, but it's definitely a must-have for me, since I have uncoordinated/fat fingers that cannot use a touch screen keyboard. Besides the fact that everything's been upgraded and sleeked out, the best features of the phone are the new web browser, the social networking apps, and the games!
The old web browser on my Curve would often freeze before loading a page and the layout was like reading a boring and deformed newspaper. Contrast that with the new web browser that actually looks like the webpage while also allowing zoom in and out capabilities - LOVE. Next, the social networking apps have made keeping in touch with everyone while I'm on the go so much more effortless. I have access to gmail, google talk, twitter, facebook, and much more right through my phone. And last but not least, this may be silly, but I love their games! The Curve only had one lame game (lame only because my lack of coordination would not allow me past a certain level), but it now has multiple, including a word game (which are my fave!).
I think this phone is a great competitor of the new Android and iPhone 4, and I would not trade it for anything! On the -5 to 5 scale, I would give this phone a +5 rating!

Inspiration
I'm daunted by the idea of putting myself out there for the world to read and to dissect, and I'm also frustrated by where and how to find the inspiration for my posts. But when I read the thoughts of my Twin on his blog, I am immediately awed every time. The strength with which he carries on through every situation he encounters is a huge inspiration in my life. He sees so much limitless possibility in the most seemingly innocuous things, and he finds inspiration effortlessly.
I'm so grateful that I have someone like him in my life. Although we can no longer see each other on a regular basis (he lives in the Midwest while I am on the east coast), he somehow still motivates me to carpe diem the eff out of life. So, thank you Twin, for all your strength and perseverance and spontaneity and fun. And just for you: I get it in.
