May 22, 2006 09:27 PMa lot of things happened todayToday started off quite well. Life was cozy, I saw "Springfield" clouds in the sky, i moved my car before street cleaning. I got a naked shot of espresso, which was surprising and awesome. Then. Then I went to work. Things went bad fast, when I made a "2 minute change" turn into an almost hour outage. Then things actually started to get annoying, and I was muting the phone and hoping around and gesticulating wildly and really generally upset with the quality of my experience. That sucked. But I fixed it! I went out for an exceptional lunch, sat with like minded individuals, and had a very nice civilized conversation. Also, I had ginger cake, and I think it could be said that it helped. a lot. Then, there was wrapping up of things, and driving in the Broadway tunnel, chasing an Audi that WHUPPED me, a trip to the actual Marina, plus In & Out tastyness! And then I randomly went into a fancy grocery store and ran into a friend from my Pottery Barn days from the 90s. Long time, but nice people pretty much keep being nice; it's not really so complicated. OOH OOOH! Also! I crossed an item off of my todo list (it's been there for about FOUR YEARS) this weekend! And now I have email... with PICTURES! It's so 1990s of me! I'm freaking psyched!! Send me pictures! In email! Also, if I host (I originally wrote "hose", which, it could be said, was much better put) your stuff, you can too! Now I'm home, chatting a lot, planning a trip with my elly to Chicago this weekend (hey, what fun things shoudl we do? I havent' lived there in a dozen years! I'm freaking old!). The mid-century-light is on, the windows are open, and things are just nice.
In Other News. So, some things happened over the last six months or so. They're pretty damned private, and none of your business, but I wrote about a bunch of them here, so i guess I can't pull that line :). I was having a really hard time, and I made some major changes in my life. They helped, so, uh, thanks for asking. The takeaway is that I was really sad, and in a vicious cycle of badness, and I have learned that I just needed some good shaking up of things. I hope that I haven't hurt friends and people that I love, and I hope that they are able to ever-so-slowly reintegrate elly & I into their lives. I guess I don't really know how to say things here, since the vague strokes above are annoying, but I don't want to say everything here for all in the world to see. But since I have a frickin' blog, I'm trying to reach out. I want to tell you nice peoples the things that are happening to me. I want you to be a part of my life, even if we don't chat every day. I want you to call/email/assault-me-in-ritual/etc me and ask "what the hell is up??" and I want to tell you. I want to talk to you and tell you about my life, and hear about yours. I just want it to be between us. Ok? In summary: I'm optimistic about Things! May 04, 2006 11:36 PM"you forgot you have a blog"so many many many things. it feels pointless to try and explain any of them to anyone, much less you, a blank old grey screen of non-upgraded software (the cobbler's childrens' shoes, and all that). the normal listing of things done, accomplishments made, brief updates about cursory topics, items purchased, places gone. none seem relevant. I could tell you all that today was my mother's birthday. It sounds like she had a nice day. I could tell you that I sent her a gift and that elly helped me to pick it out. But what would any of that mean? Would you try to read between the lines? I live in a new place. (I capitalize my "I"s intentionally, every time I type "i", and every time I have to go back to assert myself. to mean it. did you know that?) It is a nice place in many ways. Things are just so. Just where they go. What does that get me? Am I happy? Is this it? What happened to intensely red faced moments of thrashing while wearing a red teeshirt, looking for chorus girls? What does money mean? Why do I fucking care? When will I learn?
