(no subject)
Admittedly, taking today off perhaps wasn't completely warranted from a strict physical-soundness perspective. Aside from being really embarrassingly sore from dancing all night on Saturday (I even have a limp! How sad is that?), I am likely well enough to have gone in and held the cube walls up for 8 or so hours. But, unsurprisingly, I woke up late this morning (I've been having serious trouble getting up early lately), and that -- when mulled over in my mind along with "shit, which bus do I need to catch today?" and a healthy side of "oh lord, do my shoulders really feel up to lugging my bike on and off the bus rack today?" resulted in me calling in, then crawling back into bed with the cats and a book. Never went back to sleep, but I think just having the day to myself is relaxing enough without actually having to sleep it away.
Now yesterday...yesterday I slept away, with gusto. I woke up at a decent enough time, ate some toast and some green tea yogurt, had a cup and a half of coffee (never had the chance to make it to two), then somehow ended up back in bed under the pretense of doing some reading. Next thing I knew, it was 3:33 and I was groggily aware of the sound of my neighbors in the back yard, doing fun back-yard gardeny type things. I had enough time to think some vague something about my tomato plants, and...then it was around 5:00 and I was waking up, again. Ah well. Such is life when you get home at 5:30 am. There's something I haven't done in eons! It was a fun change of pace, though, especially because the music was amazingly good (a very welcome yet unexpected detail -- thank you, jonnoble), but not something I want to do with any regularity.
Yes, so today is sort of serving as the weekend-day I didn't have yesterday. Although I am again not doing much to speak of, I do at least have one goal: go to Home Despot or Lowe's to get some stuff for the continuing happiness of my tomatoes. Also to walk next door and return the container that (oh so briefly) housed the very excellent squash soup my neighbor was nice enough to share with me yesterday. She's from Budapest, and is in love with me after finding out about my extreme fondness for Hungary -- and Budapest in particular -- and is all fired up about cooking delicious Hungarian dishes. Surely there are worse things.
Oh man, and in completely random news, Nick informed me the other day that the Gutter Twins have canceled their Detroit show! How annoying is that?? Quite annoying, in fact! GRR.
Alright, that's about all I can muster at the moment. Gonna go hit the shower and then bus it over to Ann Arbor (Angela rules and is driving me!). Later, skaters.
Edited to add that it's a little funny that I'm listening to "Blind Girl" in light of having lost my glasses over the weekend. I'm not *that* blind, but still, I giggled.
