Not much to update on...weather remains steadfast and stubbornly gloomy. This is not a pretty city when it rains.
Still tired. The label has lost all it's interns due to college graduations and moves and whatnot and so I'm pulling the work that used to be split by four. Of course, summer releases are coming in so that means incessant mailingmailingmailing to college radio, press. I love it still...I'm just dead and the mist bums me out and leaves me emotionally retarded and words come slow and surly. I told the now-former boy to box up some sun on his upcoming trip to LA and bring it back to me.
Yes, "former". We're taking a "step back". My doing, of course. I haven't had the time nor energy to put into any relationships and I don't like feeling like I'm neglecting someone I care about. And I'm feeling suffocated. Suffocated, in general...suffocated by my schedule, by the city, so an additional tie was starting to make me crazier than I already am. He is, fortunately, intensely and immensely and never-endingly understanding, which helps to make the situation simultaneously more and less difficult.
What I need: to stop participating in some form of work everyday. Right now, if I'm not working both jobs in one day I'm at least working one...which means I haven't had a complete and full day to myself in quite a while. I AM very excited about three upcoming shows, the fourth of July weekend (camping in the Hamptons with previously mentioned male friend), my super cool jacket coming in from ebay and my trip home. I am excited about the prospect of sun. I know it can't hide forever.
