Got my hand in the air.
Started off last week resuming weird sleep patterns. Crash early in the evening, wake for a few hours in the middle of the night, second sleep early morning. This happened last Tue and Wed. This Tues was the opposite, where I slept during the time I’m usually awake in the middle of the night (midnight – 5am). So yesterday (Wed) I crashed early, and now I’m typing this as during my middle of the night wake as it transitions into Thurs,,,
Of course my weekend behavior doesn’t help much. Last weekend was a whirlwind:
Thursday I had people over (Jen, Willow, Aug, Dan, Aug’s friend) to my place for snacks before this rock / comedy / live talk show. We had a good time and I laughed hard. Half the crowd was pretty confused and I thought it was all the better for that reason. The music portion was provided by Dan Deacon. We all jumped around.
Friday was the first really perfect day of Spring. I bought some jeans, ordered new contacts, got a haircut, went to Minca w/ Mike, went the sake bar, and saw Suckers at Cake Shop.
Saturday I baked some cornbread, went to DMP & Molly’s BBQ, went to Huckleberry Bar, BCC, Sweet Ups, and Legion.
Sunday I went to Jeff’s for brunch. We drank Black Velvets, then beers all day, then we walked over to Aug & Willow’s. I was planning on going home, but I called Jess and met her and Brian Spink’s sister for a drink at the new Trophy Bar. After that, I heard some live music coming from Bembe, so I popped in there and watched this afro-funk band.
Monday I was so beat from going crazy I stayed in bed most of the day.
Tuesday I saw Tim & Eric Awesome Tour with Aug, Jenny and Dan. It was pretty fun, but overall it was kind of like watching TV for 2 hours with a crowded room of spastics. The opener, DJ Dougg Pound was pretty great.
Work is starting to pick up again. There is some momentum building with the return of the boss finally in sight. I feel stressed with my side projects weighing down on me. The thing is there’s only 2 of them, and if I would just sit down and do them, they’d be out of my life.
