Listening: The Hardest Walk by Jesus and Mary Chain.

Reading (perhaps quality): Guernica: The Biography of a Twentieth-Century Icon by Gijs van Hensbergen

Reading (definitely pulp): Nothing.

Drinking: Nothing.

way late

My little black cat crossed my path several times today (I can't make the walk from the bedroom to the kitchen to feed her without her weaving around to lead me, wrapping herself around my ankles in what I suspect is an attempt to convince me to give her extra treats) with no ill effects yet. There have been no ladders to walk under, no broken mirrors and no one has talked about any Scottish plays.

So, it seems that things really are good around this joint...

Restaurant week (Taberna de Alberdero was okay, Filomena was really nice, looking forward to 1789) aside, its been a really trippy week.

Work has been busy busy finishing up a document for week-after-next and continuing to get an idea of what I'll be doing, what I'll be learning, and getting a sense of the new routine. Though am used to transition after a year in LDP I feel like its getting familiar up on the 6th floor and am excited about all that's coming up.

There's been a lot of increased communication with people I haven't talked with in a while. Folks who couldn't come to the three kings party in particular - just doing some e-mailing and I suspect feeling out whether we want to use this as an opportunity to cycle in again or wait for the next even go-'round.

Then tonight, realized some of my own limits. Call me clueless but in a relationship thats gone a variety of directions in the last couple of years, long story short, I just realized that when I was proceeding with an eye towards group accord the other person was testing and knowingly causing angst then blaming me for not changing the dynamic between us on my own. I can handle someone behaving badly because they're in a bad time, in a bad place, or have a bad prescription, but someone who does it when they know its causing something unhealthy? I'm sorry, but fuck that. So it's sad, but very very freeing at the same time. After being told you were somehow the only one in the wrong its good to know that's not really true. And that, now that you know, you can learn how to avoid such situations in the future.

Doing (life and related tasks): Feeling guilty that I haven't packed a single thing yet.

Doing (crafty stuff): Nothing, other than looking for some inspiration.

Wanting: All my moving packing to be done and me magically moved - now!

Anticipating: The long weekend...
