Good Stuff

Hello World.

I had a great week, largely because of the Downlow party on Saturday night. (more on that in a second) Things have been puttering along pretty well these days. I'm working with an old pal again, which makes me happy, and makes it easier to get through the days. I'm spending too much time at work, but trying to do better at /not/ doing that. elly's nice. We've puttered and had over-planned weekends and many things, but she's endured. I had a nice visit from old friends and from family (same weekend!), which included lots of conversations about phones and too much heavy eating. doot dee doo.

let's see. I'm currently fantasizing about land in northern california. Ok, maybe too much land, but why dream small? It's one of the lessons my grandfather imparted upon me: they ain't making any more lake/ocean-front land anytime soon!

This past Thursday, I left work at a reasonable time (6pm), and couldn't decide about how to get to Hayes Valley, so instead of cab/bart/muni, I just walked! It was gorgeous, and I stuck my nose into stores, and saw the world, and listened to Mike Bee both from Future Breaks and from a Chillits set. damn good stuff to see the sun set by, while walking all the way down Mission Street. I finally made it home almost two hours later, but in time to take elly on a nice little date. I do so much better when I walk, but the laziness of driving is so tempting!

Friday was big & exciting at work, with some charity event thing, but ended up that I was able to leave at a decent hour, and putter around a little before going to the de Young's first anniversary party, and then to buy fancy champagne and catching a midnight movie with ms. elly!

Saturday was filled with caffeinated erranding after brunch, a nap and then a laaate night Downlow party in a beautiful outdoor space. Man, I love the Radiant Atmospheres crew. They put on such nice displays. I want to work with them!! Glitch Mob, good breaks, and at some point, some 150bpm+ insanity led to fun all night dancing. Ian was awesome enough to come along, brining a new haircut and all the best of enthusiasm! More brunch Sunday, and more puttering about.

not bad at all. This is why I work. Sometimes, I forget, in the darkness of the pressure, but the weekends at the Wynn, the nights on the bay, the brunches with friends. These are the things. yup.
