Merry happy
In Baltimore or less. Landed at 7:30ish Saturday night, found Robert waiting at my doorstep like the wonderful person he is. Went to Subway with Rob and Thomas and won a free Scrabble cookie. Gave said cookie to Thomas because he complained that he didn't win anything. Ismar met us at Subway, Thomas left to hang out with the roommates, the three former members of Triyoga retired next door to Never's so Ismar could sate his appetite for grease. Slant for Rob's cigs, Ismar's new place. Is nice. Took some apple juice and squeezed a lemon into it. Surprisingly not gross. Listened to calm Latin music. Shot the breeze with the two other trio legs. Lemon is a powerful laxative, I learned. Back to my place, outside of which we ran into Brian, who came and chilled for awhile although he didn't seem like he particularly wanted to be there. Unpacked. Thomas came over. Slept in my approximately two bajillion degree room.
First full day back was nothing short of magical. Everything fell into place perfectly, Rolex couldn't have timed it better. Morning, farmer's market with Brian, laundry, made and packed my lunch, shower, practice for an hour or so, lunch break in the plaza (garlic and herb white cheddar, grilled eggplant and green peppers on toasted French rosemary bread and a Paulared apple) where I ran into Tim, Mark, Solen and Alex. Solen and I made plans to lay out at her pool later. Practiced a few more hours. Upon returning my key, I alit to the plaza only to run into practically everyone I wanted to see - Frank, Griffin, Bijan, Aleksi, bing bang boom hugs all around and brief briefings on summers and Will and I went to the Asian market where I bought rice and noodles and other Asian things that I need in order to sustain my yellowness and I went to the pool with Solen and John came for a second too and as I was walking back to my apartment I ran into Kim and Christian and we made plans to go to yoga so now I really had run into basically everyone I wanted to run into and I went home and made chow mein with eggplant, peppers and cucumber (it was an eggplant/pepper day) and Thomas came over and we ate and I went to yoga and smoked hookah at T's place with him and the roommates, the three of whose dynamic I've missed so so so much and T and I went to bed in his approximately negative two degree room.
Now breakfasting on blueberry green tea, peaches and toast. Getting the hell off this soon because practice is of the essence, and I need to get at least a couple hours in before Trader Joe's.
