Favorite Thing of the Day

It's barely 8:00am, and I already have my favorite thing of the day!

If you haven't already, check out Capture Indy, a project put on by the Indy Star that works with local photographers toward making a coffee-table book about the Indianapolis area.

The site itself allows you to browse and vote on the pictures uploaded by the various photographers. I really like the Scapes of All Sorts section...truly stunning stuff in there.

Some of my favorites:
Reflections
Good Memories from May
Circle of Lights
Downtown Library
Fireworks (this is what I could see from the townhouse!)
Skyline

Enjoy! We live in a very pretty city :)

Everybody's Working for (during) the Weekend...

...or maybe it's just me. Sort of feels like it. Well, Brian's working this weekend at Mid-Ohio, but at least he gets to stay in a nice hotel and eat good food. So he wins.

Everyone else I know is probably still sleeping right now. I, however, am giving out blood products like it's trick or treat on Halloween. It's been a surprisingly busy day at the ol' blood bank, yet the time has not passed any faster. I'm not quite to the point of being completely bored, but I feel like it should be at least 12:30 by now.

Wednesday marked the END of my psych rotation!!! Honestly, by the end it wasn't as bad as it was in the beginning, but we were ALL still so glad when it was over.

We went to Brugge to celebrate, because having fries has sort of become a nursing school thing. The fries were as good as I remembered with their amazing dipping sauces (even though, between 5 of us, we couldn't even finish half of the l'enorme size!), but I ordered a sandwich as well and I really didn't like it. There was way too much salt! Added onto the salt on the fries and it basically just tasted like eating a salt shaker. Not particularly pleasant. I guess some people (like Belgians...) really like the taste of salt, but I'm not one of them!
Another thing: if you call ahead to reserve a table, they tell you they don't do that. Yet on their website it gives a number for call head seating!
So yeah, I'd say that time at Brugge was a 2-star experience, but I'd consider going back for fries sometime.

Last night I went out with the Jew Crew, who I haven't seen in months. It was great to catch up with them. We hung out at Adam's for a bit, then walked over to Bourbon Street Distillery and sat out on the upper level patio with a pitcher of Blue Moon. Good times.

And now...I'm at work....only 3.5 hours left!
