Things I have learned this week:

• I can drink a truly amazing amount of horrible white wine
• I am a very inconsiderate host, particularly after said white wine.
• It is possible to get bitten on the fucking cheek by a mosquito. The cheek. Twice.
• Not all trains to New Jersey stop in Hoboken.
• Jerkboy (aka the yank, aka my dreadful ex-boyfriend) is getting married in a few months.
• My roommate the Cuban is even more awesome than I had previously noticed.
• My roommate the Cuban is also batshit crazy. But claiming not to have noticed this previously may be slightly stretching it.
• Barbecues are fantastic, and happen approximately every 15 minutes in this country.
• The walk from Chelsea to Park Slopes is motherfucking long.
• Never take a taxi from Jersey to Manhattan.
• I am going to a pagan handfasting, in CT, as the date of a female friend. Time to dig out the tux and top hat.
