I'm a loser, baby.
Hello, kids. This thing is chock full of dust, isn't it? Don't fear, I've still been reading. Just updating has seriously lost its luster. But lots of good things have been happening in my life.
I've been performing on average of once a week, which is currently the most fulfilling thing in my life - besides the super-cute wife and all. While I've still got lots of worries that I'm working out about "Am I actually talented?", that all kind of slips off when I get on stage. It's funny how being a burlesque dancer is so different from writing, but I go through the same stupid bullshit. There are some amazing numbers and collaborations in my future, and I like being around the ridiculously hot and severely smart women. It's like being back at Salem College.
Starbucks is still Starbucks. I feel that I have had a lot of successes in the past month that have been a long time coming. It's nice when hard work starts paying off... maybe my threats to stop taking it so personally are finally manifesting, because I don't feel so much like it's me against the world anymore.
And now it's time to geek the fuck out! I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series at a really leisurely pace. I've always absorbed the novels, and it's always been a marathon to get through them. I like being able to just enjoy them. After years of recommendations, I've also been tearing through the Sandman comic book series. I really don't understand why no one has put the books in my hands and said, "This will change your goddamn life." Because it has!
I have big weekend plans with the wife in honor of our two-year wedding anniversary! Dinner at Millennium Restaurant with Ellen on Sunday, followed by a night's stay at Hotel California on Geary St. And on Monday breakfast at the Loving Hut in the mall, and then seeing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World! Two whole days of dates.
