Week/end Recap

This week has been pretty awesome.  I started full time at my new job and for the most part, I love it.  Monday was rough since my work computer got stolen.  Tuesday was wonderful..I got to meet up wtih Heather for the first time in months for some dinner and drinks downtown.  Later that night I rented City of Men and watched it with a friend.  Wednesday..I am drawing a blank.  Thursday was the mojopages event at the W Hotel.  Monique and I met up with some people from digital-telepathy, and all I wanted was a vodka soda.  A SKYY soda.  But all they had was the SKYY 90.  I drank two of those and felt pretty good.  Then we went to Hamilton’s for some food and beer and a few people from le pearl were there. 

The real fun began on Friday.  Street Scene.  Erin, Jenna and I got off work a little bit early and headed to Tivoli’s, thinking it would be cheap.  It wasn’t.  Then we got to Street Scene just in time to catch the tail end of MGMT..after that it’s all kind of a blur.  We saw diplo, justice, the foals, cat power and vampire weekend.  Erin and I went home and crashed.  Then yesterday we did it all over.  Got there pretty late so we only saw tegan and sara, does it offend you, yeah?  and bits / pieces of other sets.  does it offend you, yeah? was absolutely amazing.  I wish their set was longer.  And I also wish that that man wearing the gold jacket wasn’t so damn sweaty, and all up on me.  Sick.  I’ll have pictures by the end of the week hopefully!!!

Depressing right?  Notice the color key:  teal=work hours, purple=work tasks, and pink=social life. Only one pink block for the week.



Laughed so hard I cried..

It’s a long story, but I started to watch Step Brothers the other week in the theatres, and never got to finish the whole movie.  I cannot wait until I can get back to the theatres and watch the movie in its entirety.  Seriously..the trailer doesn’t even do it justice.



Lately

I have been so overwhelmed and exhausted, which has also lead me to become so boring.  I used to go out at least five times a week.  Some of those nights I would just have one beer, but most of them..I’d have more…much more, than just one. 

Basically all summer I worked a full time job and a part time internship.  The beauty of the internship is if I wasn’t feeling up to it, energy wise or health wise, I could call in and they would be super supportive of my decision not to come in.  Now, I am working a full time job and a part time job..which I can’t call out of.  So, last week and this week I have been working 8am-11pm.  It is driving me crazy.  I am tired, and by the night’s end..anti social. 

I miss going out with my friends.  I miss Hamilton’s Tavern.  I got invited to a dinner gathering at Spencer’s tonight..a whole stuffed chicken, rack of lamb, blue cheese polenta and tons of wine.  When do I ever turn down a free meal..especially in the company of good friends..and especially when the people cooking it are professional chefs????  If that’s not an indication of how tired and out of it I am..I don’t know what is. 

Come next week I will have a normal job, where  I will only work eight hours a day.  Until Monday though, everyday I will contemplate stabbing myself with a pen while sitting at a desk for 15 hours a day.  I feel an intervention coming on.



Update: I find solace in wine

13 more minutes left at work, then I’ll head home and enjoy a glass or two or a bottle of some vinho verde.



I find solace in food..

Had a weird night last night and an even weirder morning this morning.  Kind of in a funk, and super confused about things (meaning relationships) in life.  My comfort is going to come from having a nice three course meal (La Milpa Farm’s baby organic lettuce salad / braised pork ravioli / strawberry shortcake with frangelico anglaise)  at my work.  Hopefully stuffing my face will help, at least temporarily.  Is that sad that I love food that much??
