On Instead of Donating to the Komen Foundation...
I am currently poking about to see how complicated it is to organize a 5K in the Baltimore/DC area. The goal is to stage one the same weekend as, or on a close weekend to, the Race for the Cure in Ocean City. All entry fees will be donated to one of SGK's competitors.
Tell your run-y friends.
(OR, alternatively, HELP ME because I have no idea what I'm doing.)

Aaaaand speaking of stuck in BK, I have just been introduced to the chocolate cookie sandwiches with mint buttercream at Blue Stove, which are gradually reestablishing my tentative conviction that the world is not an inherently hostile place.
My name is Multiphasic and I ENDORSE THIS PASTRY.

@chirdia Still stuck up in Brooklyn until they clear my registration... So tonight it's get me to pies and Commonwealth. However, yes, I plan to spend the entire coming week in either CC or Liam's practicing my "hobo glare".
@curryspice This is good knowledge, but since the NYC DMV suspended my license for funsies, I didn't just get to go to Reisterstown... I got to take the subway to Reisterstown.

Natalie Dormer's weird mouth, how I've missed you from my life.
