Week in review

I thought the show went well. I rocketed out of work at 2 (I usually leave at 5), picked Laura up at her house, sped up to Poughkeepsie and screamed into a microphone for two hours. She drove-- I wrote and made phone calls. She's leaving this coming Wednesday-- all the writing, calling and driving will be left to me.

Public service announcement: Stay off the roads Mondays 5-7 and Fridays 2-4. To alleviate the inconvenience I am accepting chauffer applications. No experience is required--a valid driver license is a considerable plus.

The last two nights have been interesting. You'll find a quick summary below (and then I'm off to meet the candidate):

Wed 18: I tried the other type (see post below) and liked it. Went out for a cigarette afterwards and got very lost looking for the lake. Finally found my way home-- was very truthful and honest. (But I can't remember what I said).

Thurs 19: Woke up for work on time (remarkably, with no alarm) and felt a bit tipsy (oddly enough) for the first part of the day. Had a cigarette with a co-worker, calmed down and drove to my Scottish dinner. (All the while calling people in search of a 'Wed repeat,' ultimately to no avail.) Back home around 10pm to host a small beer party with friends.

Friday 20: After work and the show I became a chef. Cooked spaghetti (all in preparation for Gartland of course) with friends while dancing to Russian music. (Laura liked it, said that it sounded like SKA and big band).

Saturday 21: A lounge-around day of doing nothing except for feeling guilty about doing nothing. A “Democratic” party in the afternoon and a Mary/Sarah “Wed. type” activity closer to evening.

I was also offered an analysis of my new 'so-called' bad boy image: "Igor, it's because you have been too good your entire life. I got all the fun stuff out of my system in high school. You didn't. You're doing it now but it's interfering with other responsibilities."

Very true. Lots to do and lots to avoid (doing) tomorrow. (In search of the balance... now off to the party).
