the weekend
My head isn’t 100% clear yet. Could be jet-lag. Could be aging. Could be the massive amounts of work I have pending on many fronts. I’m not sure.
Friday night I intended to get out much earlier than I did. Somehow I lost track of time and didn’t make it out of the house after work until 12:30am. So I guess I didn’t make it out on Friday, but instead, on Saturday. I meant to get to Spin earlier to see Judy Tenuta vs. The Shower Contest, but that didn’t happen. Instead, a few beers with the boys and I headed home to bed. Zzzz.
Saturday I woke up insanely early and did a ton of chores before my teacher arrived at 3:30 for my Japanese lesson. It went well and we gossiped for a while before digging into my next chapter. It’s getting painfully harder and I don’t feel like I’m learning as quickly as possible. So I need to kick things into a higher gear and figure out what I’m going to do to learn more Kanji.
Elaine and John arrived just shy of 5:00. She’s now the proud owner of my Razr. I have no need for it since I moved to the iPhone.
I should mention here that I’m still in love with the iPhone. Still REALLY in love with it. And I love when people who haven’t ever touched it first get a chance to play. The squeals of glee when they first use the pinch zoom are priceless.
Anyway, we headed out to Cesars for killer margaritas (they aren’t kidding) and Judy Tenuta at the Lakeshore Theatre. It was a really fun night in all, but it ended kinda early for me because I woke at the ass crack of dawn. Oh well, it happens right?
I was up early on Sunday and ended up going for a lovely bike ride with Ken and Brad up into Evanston. The weather was picture perfect and it felt good to get out and really ride. I’ve been riding with destinations-in-mind (home, work, etc.) lately, and it was nice just to wander around on two wheels. Somehow that seems more pure - cycling around with no time scale and no real destination. I need to do that more.
