I call this one “Zoro was here”

The Chase is over...

We are finally wrapped and submitted! This weekend, Team Gryffindor competed in the 48 Hour Film Project in Hampton Roads. We had SO much fun. It was crazy, stressful, fun, frustrating; all wrapped up into one.

I am…

Exhausted
Happy
Sore
Zoned out
Tired
Satisfied
Confident
Proud
Dehydrated
Anxious
Excited.

I have learned a lot from this experience. This time I was SUPER on top of my release forms, but next time I need to be more aware of craft services and locations. I think we have a decent shot at winning this thing. July 16 is the Richmond one… I’m thinking about entering that one too. We’ll see :]

I finally did it.

Dear Readers.

I am transitioning my blog to tumblr. Yes, it was time. I think tumblr is more compatible with my interactive communication needs.

I will be posting on both blogs for a while, and slowly transitioning to the tumblr.

I think I've grilled enough for the next 3597832 Memorial Day weekends.

I noted in my previous posts that the boys (Derrick, Jordan, and Nic) invested in a grill. Therefore, we found it appropriate to grill every night of Memorial Day weekend. Here's what went down.

Friday: Steak Night! We had a decent sized crew. Just sitting around, eating steak. Oh, and we played DDR. Looootsss of DDR.

Saturday: Jenny, Keith, Chris, Micah, Chuck, Dan and I went to the Pungo Strawberry Festival! I saw pigs race. There's something to cross off my bucket list. Afterwards we haddddddd Chicken Night! Pineapple/honey chicken breast and barbeque chicken thighs and drumsticks.

Sunday: Probably the best tasting night, Fish Night! I made salmon marinated in soy sauce and honey. So delicious. Plus, we had chips, salsa, tomatoe/cucumber/corn salad, America cake, crab dip, and other awesome foods. Oh and we watched the Perfect Score. So ridiculous, haha.

Monday: "Cookout" Night (In NJ, we just call it a barbecue). After a lovely day at the beach, we had hotdogs, hamburgers, sausage, and oatmeal for me (because I didn't feel like paying for more meat). We ended the night by watching (or sleeping through in my case) Tropic Thunder.

Good times.

Chicken Night! :] Thanks Derrick Collins for the picture.
