Would have went on Friday night but it was snowing up here again. This snow is getting old. Both figuratively and literally. I can&#8217;t imagine it will ever melt. I hate people talking about the weather, but this weather is going on for a while. Tonight snow was melting and sliding off the roof with a pretty satisfyingly loud thud. Anyhow, another FEAST in Brooklyn. Food and drink served, art funded, floors mopped.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone kept asking me the same questions over and over. How is it up there? Do you like your job? I replied that I still like it up here and like my job, don&#8217;t feel isolated, and still wish I had more productive free time. I keep reminding myself the job is pretty much whatever I want it to be, so I need to make it great. Lately I feel like I just answer emails and do little things here and there all day. So I&#8217;ve been turning my email off.<\/p>\n<p>My main social event is trivia night at the Polish Nat&#8217;l Alliance in the next town over every Wednesday night. It&#8217;s pretty fun. We never win, but pitchers of beer are $7 and it&#8217;s bring your own snacks, so you really can&#8217;t lose. My two main friends are Cein and Kim. They both work in art fabrication at the museum and none of us know each other all that well.<\/p>\n<p>Esha was up here for the last two weeks while she was in between jobs and studying for the GREs. I really got used to her company and miss her not being here after just a few hours of being in the house alone. We did a lot of cooking, sitting under blankets, looking out the window on to the land, and some of the local activities. She didn&#8217;t seem to hate it, even though she was kind of trapped in my rental house outside of town.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to buy some new shoes this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to New York last Saturday.
