out of touch

As I've tried to ramp up the amount of time I spend on the telephone with people, telling them that I care about them and miss them, my writing time has slipped. Not just here on LiveJournal, but my fiction projects and my email correspondence. Even my participation in IRC. On the one hand, I feel like I'm better-connected with (for example) my

That's interesting. It's never occurred to me that siloing might be a good thing, at least some of the time. I'll have to give that more thought. Thanks.

In a tangentially related vein, I'd like to apologize for not making a effort to see you since you moved out here. I keep intending to -- and then something edges ahead of it in the queue of things to think about.

We will figure something out in the new year.

[jrbl]

Yes, I hope that we will.

Anami and I were just talking the other day about how we haven't really made any new friends since coming to California - we've just gotten to know old friends (who moved out ahead of us) better. I suggested we have a party and invite a lot of people who seem to have friend potential, but Anami was concerned about the small size of our apartment. We never came to a good conclusion.

I guess my point is, we should have dinner some time. I always suggest lunch to people, but making time in the middle of the day always seems like such a pain in the ass. And if we have dinner, we can meet up someplace cool, like Annapoorna or B Street & Vine, and know the food'll be good. I almost never eat lunch out, and don't much care for sandwiches.

What do you think?

[loosestrife]

Dinner is a very good idea.

You're in San Carlos or someplace, right?

Foster City. The epicenter of our dining out is downtown San Mateo, around 3rd and Vine. But of course, we can travel elsewhere with some advance planning. :)
