The Gays Love Me, What With the Tits and the Ass
I'm not ready to contemplate the sheer volume of tequila that needs to be consumed tomorrow night in order to get through the Palin/Biden debate with my soul intact. Sufficed to say Friday morning will in no way be pretty.
Had the DC family over for dinner last night (Marc and Stipps). I made latkes for the first time and they weren't half bad - and yes I realize they're a mix from a box but whatevz, I fear new things in the kitchen. Also made salmon and got challah, I had forgotten how much I love that stuff. Senior year of college I did seder dinner every Friday with Ryan's housemates and it was this close, pleasant, calming experience. Maybe when I'm back in Mass when we gather more regularly.
No resolutions yet except the same daily one: breathe deep, girl, it'll all be over soon.
I always strangely look forward to Yom Kippur. I like the cleansing. Catholics can do it any time they want, there must be some relief in that.
I finally went running, and I never plan to be away from the gym that long ever again if it can be helped, but my thoughts are still this scattered, up and down thing. I'm going through the A Softer World archives today, though, and smiling a lot.
Meanwhile, I am obsessed with The Office in general and Pam and Jim in particular (it is my happy place), am rapidly adopting Lipstick Jungle so i have something to watch with Stipps (she is my mainstream Rei that way), and I wait every week for True Blood like it's my job. And thus we pass the time here.
