Let's break it down to the highlights...
- Birthday: Awesome... we went out to Al Hambra, a tapas place I love. Surprisingly, it's a restaurant in a fancy 5 star hotel... great wine, food and people
- Running: Going really well, ran about 34-35 kilometers on Friday morning and felt great, only 7 or 8 kilometers less than a marathon, so I'm feeling not quite so nervous about Lisbon in December (I'm not sure when I made the switch to kilometers, I still spend most of my runs trying to calculate how many miles is that now...)
- Soccer: We won 8 to 1, I scored a couple goals and hit the posts, I think all of them, left, right and top at least 43 times...
- Work: Lame, signed up with my old recruiting company and am planning on attending a job fair in Cambridge, but also hoping that some school looks at my resume and hires me via skype interviews...
The weather has finally gotten to the stage that I am willing to be outdoors for activities other than exercise. We went to
Barasti last night, it was really fun. It was a friend's birthday and we tried to get our soccer team out. I wore a super short,
turquisy/bluish flapper dress for some reason, it was kind of like being in costume and I was cracking up because a friend of mine said something like, his mom has a lampshade that has tassels just like that... and the same night another friend said I only got a 6 of 10 on entertainment value that evening, yet one more person thought wheelie shoes, which I CANNOT stand would be cool and get girls.... who are these people and why do I love being around them so much? I'm anxiously waiting my check to my recruiting company to clear so I can reach active status and start searching for a new job. A friend of mine who works at another school here in Dubai keeps sending me openings for next year and I end up spending hours researching what it would be like to live in all the places that have openings, they have varied from Pakistan, to Colombia, to Syria, to Italy... when I was talking to someone the other day, I was saying how nice it would be to live in Europe because it would be closer and less expensive to fly home. What I'm wondering, is when did a ten hour flight and $1000 seem close and cheap?

You know you aren't in the U.S anymore when you refer to your running distance in kilometers instead of miles!
So when are you coming to Portland??
Funny that you bring up "you know you're not in the US..."
