week recap
sunday
naturfreunde oktoberfest with jeevan, emily, and others. off and on i’ve been going to this since i was a kid. mom and dad were there too, dancing. beer, sausages, bacon-infused sauerkraut. past few years it’s become quite the 30ish singles scene, probably to the dismay of the normal club members. makes sense though… sun, beautiful nature, alcohol, music. pheromones were palpable.
monday
woke up in marin. excellent soy latte, meetings upon meetings in the morning, but all necessary and with good peeps. afternoon got some work done. went home and read my signed copy of spook country, gibson’s voice echoing in my head.
tuesday
even longer work day. much accomplished. significant coffee intake. got home at 12:30am, wired, read more spook country, didn’t want to put it down.
wednesday
mid-week relief. lots of work. then tasty sushi and sake at moki’s with great ex-girlfriend-now-friend faith. general life catch-up and commiseration, feeling happy and proud of ourselves for not being estranged. afterward, sitting on milk crates outside her sister’s house while she expertly rolled and smoked her cigarette.
thursday
coded. created icons. learned about accuracy versus precision marketing. phenomenal joe bonamassa show at the palace of fine arts, courtesy of excellent uncle rick. i did not know that blues could rock so fully. would not have even known to go to such a thing. horizons substantially and permanently broadened.
friday
worked, encountered difficult bugs. after work, brent/katie fest 2007, found ourselves at the world changing party, people seriously getting down on the dance floor, a little disconcerting actually. then to bernal for faith’s goodbye night at the wild side. pinball, friends, and big daddy ipa’s.
saturday
not enough sleep, and no coffee. exhausted most of the day, but somehow managed to take care of little errands. stopped at revolution cafe for a bite, watched a cute little girl eat strawberries. home, hardware store, home, deconstructed our bed frames to move them up from the garage, then reconstructed them. lygia made us a tasty salad for dinner. overall a great, much needed house/roommate day. reoriented my bed to face the window, and vastly improved the space.
sunday
back where i started. slept in. soup for lunch. now pondering technical jackets, relationships, bikes, javascript code, and the best place to get a haircut this week. wondering about the balance between blog entries that simply record life events versus taking on bigger ideas and issues. thinking about my little moleskine, and how i always want it to be more than it is, but it always ends up just being weird todo lists, doodles, budget calculations, scrawled ideas i get that don’t make any sense later, but in retrospect i actually my notebook the way it is, because it is faithful to how i actually think and live. considering that perhaps my blog should be like that. simultaneously chastising myself for spending too long on this entry.
