This is a pretty meager entry (only 34 photos!). By the time February rolls around, I'm usually in the midst of a crippling, where's-the-goddamned-sun, depression and as a result, didn't end up taking out my camera all that much. (On top of that, I was laid up in bed sick for almost a week towards the end of the month). Winter ennui and sickness aside, here are the few pics I took back in February of 2007!
Friday, February 9th

How about we kick this entry off with some rat-action? At this point, we'd had Ratso and Roxie for about three months and they had gotten used to us. Every time I'd come home to the apartment, the two of them would wake up, run across the cage and climb up into the nearest corner to say hi.

Check out how they're totally squishing each other while competing for the best "Hi, I'm here!" position.

On Saturday I posted an ad on Craigslist about giving away this 14" TV / VHS combo that we weren't using anymore. I got over 40 emails about it in the first hour of posting! Insanity.

Then we spent the rest of the day drawing moustaches on Scotch tape and putting them on our lips. Hahaha. Take that, winter blues!

Wednesday was Valentine's Day! And I was lucky enough to have this little nugget as my date!

Meredith got me this frog-tastic, edible Valentine's Day card so I'd know that she was...

Thursday, February 15th

I came home from work on Thursday and found Meredith asleep on the couch like this. Hahaha. I guess she needed to recover from our big night of sugar, Sparks and movies.

Friday, February 16th

On my way home from work on Friday, I stopped at Patagonia and picked up this totally awesome winter coat, because Big Blue (the winter jacket that was a hand-me-down from my dad that he bought in 1970!) just wasn't keeping me warm anymore. Goodbye, Big Blue. Hello, Bigger and Bluer!

On Saturday night I went to a bar that's literally located across the street from my apartment to see unique musical stylings of Calisha Jenkins and Fabrisha Dankins, who are otherwise...

On Saturday night, Meredith and I went to Inoteca to celebrate David Kreitman's birthday. (The big 4-0, if you can believe it!)

On Tuesday night, Jackson and I went over to Leigh's to play some Wii bowling.

I'd been playing a lot of Wii bowling at home and figure I'd totally dominate, but it turns out that Leigh and Jackson were even more obsessed than I was and I totally got my ass handed to me.

Look at Leigh getting a Strike and then shrugging it off all nonchalant like "Oh, another strike?" I'll fucking kill you, you little elf-bastard!

Leigh even ended up dominating the "Power" game where you use the ball to knock down progressively larger pin-formations! 567 to 396? Bah!

After dinner, the three us went around the corner to meet up with Leigh and Max! (The next morning I woke up with the flu and was in bed for the rest of Tara's visit! Boooo!) Sorry, I missed you, lady! Come out here again soon!

I was so excited for Meredith to open the birthday presents I got for her that I ended up giving them to her a full week before her actual birthday! Here she is getting ready to open up present #1...

Early in the month I had found out that Erica Bryndza (who I went to high school with) worked right down the street from me in Soho! So on Wednesday we met up for lunch! It was the first time I'd seen her in like 10 years! Crazy!
