My burger is bought!

Thank you, World Wide Web (especially my mother and girlfriend) for your impressive number of clicks on my Google ads. I happy to say that this blog has bought me a burger.

A hamburger in DC will run you at most nine dollars, so actually the blog has done even better--$14.36, the equivalent of a burger, shake, and curly fries, with tip! This money has been a welcome addition to my budget.

Of course, this being DC, that means y'all bought me a night out with a friend at Moby Dick House of Kabob. That's right--Moby Dick kabobs. No, I have no clue where they got the name from, but the place is seriously good, cheap eating. Mmm...nothing like shortening your lifespan with extremely tasty, fattening food. You really can't beat that feeling.

My last story on this blog is the first part of a story I am working on, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, what's going on in my life? Well, three main things:

1) I am walking again after spraining my ankle last month. I was on crutches and my butt for most of a month, but I finally went for a hike in the Shenandoah mountains yesterday. White Oak Canyon is very nice.

2) I am addicted to Netflix, more specifically Battlestar Galactica and Veronica Mars on DVD. If you haven't seen it, Veronica Mars is a smart, witty detective show set in a high school in California, and worth watching. I am close to solving one of the mysteries. Upon hearing of my new obsessions, my friend asked me, "So, what new shows do you like that don't have cute blondes in them?" I told her that was beside the plot, and I really prefer brunettes.

3) In addition to the small roaches which bedevil my apartment and force me to be a clean freak, I spotted a silverfish the other day. Only one small one (who is now deceased), but I am hoping that more will come and do battle with the roaches. Maybe, with any luck, the two rival tribes will kill each other off.

And that's about it for a regular blog this week. Please keep hitting those ads! I would like to buy a real burger one of these days...
