Keeping up... I ended up not going to the book group on Wednesday night... instead Lori and I hung out at home and at my favorite cafe, WOWnet. We had dinner, watched some hilarious video of Keelinn singing to Faith Hill with Darlene dancing in the background. (I nearly wet myself.) She showed me some amazing pictures that her grandfather took during the depression and some pictures and video from her trip to Kansas, and we watched a few of our favorite scenes from Bowling for Columbine. We stayed up much later than we probably should. And then in the morning I made some particularly strong coffee... and laid out two mugs for coffee... it was kinda nice to have someone around in the morning when I got up. It sort of inspired me to get up and around instead of straight to the shower and race to work because I slept in longer than I should. Thursday night was the last play of the Hangar Theater's summer season. Cheri, the bf, and I went to see 'Stones In His Pockets' which was probably the best play of the season. Two actors who played at least six different characters... maybe more. All with varying irish accents and genders. Really amazing. All in all, the summer season at the hangar started on a rotten note ('Topdog Underdog')... hit a relatively decent quality in the middle ('My Fair Lady') and then got successively better through 'Fixed' and 'Stones in His Pockets.' I think there was another play in there somewhere that wasn't even worth remembering. Saturday was another busy one... I feel like I saw most everyone I knew... coffee in the morning with Lauren which was great... went to see a fantastic play put on by a group of kids ('Once On This Island') with Jamie, Cindy, and Lisa... ran into Kim and Jeanette at the diner... saw Becky and Cheri on their way back from a Melissa Etheridge concert... and wrapped up the day going to dinner with Lauren, then out to dessert, then a little browsing at the music store, then renting some old 'Sex and the City' episodes that we hadn't seen. Then spent the night over at the bf's after he got out of work... Today, I'll consider it a success if I get some reading done... But I have tons of work to do too. I don't think I've mentioned on here yet that I am organizing a candidate's forum for the many candidates running for city and county office. It will be sponsorted by the Ithaca Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered Task Force and I only have about a week and a half left to make sure I talk with all the candidates, circulate my questionnaire for the voter guide, try to get the press to cover it... and I have to moderate it as well. That makes me a little nervous... For anyone that might want to attend, the forum will be on Thursday, September 4th from 7-9 PM at the Unitarian Church. It will be one of the last forums before the Democratic Primary on September 9th. Alright... back to my New Yorker Magazines... More later... Happy Sunday! | private feedback | |
