summertime and the living is (not so) easy June 24, 2008

i had my first plum of the season for lunch. plums are my favorite.  they’re just the best ever.

so, the weekend was insane.  typical friday night, i guess. i wrote about that huh? i don’t know. saturday i had two brunches to attend, met an old boss at pamela’s and then over to b and g’s for their brunch. good times.  b gave me the cutest music journal ever. love it.  headed through the nht back to gbg.  opening for t on sat. night.  her show is really nice.  i am mentally debating on a few of the pieces.  not so great after party, for various reasons, and then home, bitter as always after saturday nights.

sunday i hung with m, multiple times i guess and went to a fundraiser for a gbg related thing. such a crazy mix of people there. good times, i don’t think that our table really helped out the cause that much, but really, whatever.  at least i showed up, which was a stretch on that day.  watched there will be blood with c and e. i dig having them around.  well, I watched the movie, both of them fell asleep during various parts.  what is it with boys and watching movies? m’s brother is the same way, although he usually decides what movie we’re watching and then you’re left watching something that you have no interest in.  at least i watched it.  my favorite character was eli, in case anyone was wondering.  so creepy.  yeah.

i’m travelling this week again, this time their will be no pleasure- simply work.  early and late flights that suck, i’m (needless to say) nervous about checking my luggage.  it’s no fun to travel anymore.  i used to love it.  i guess it’s a pain now, and i’m older. or old.  depending on who you ask i guess. so don’t cry when i’m gone this weekend.

while i’m not excited about my destination, it does feel like the perfect time to get out for a while.  i’m feeling a bit mentally taxed lately.  i have a lot going on a work, some writing projects that i am supposed to be cracking (get that chris?) out, but i’m not able to with other projects.  summer is supposed to be this amazing time in academic life, but for me it’s not been. actually from everyone i know it’s been mad stressful, so i am beginning to wonder who is selling this rumor that it’s amazing????  bs. so, work is busy and i’m a bit freaked out about what next year will be like and then i just keep having these missteps in my personal life.  it feels like my life is a mess in every area.  a constant f ing mess.  half of it is related to others, people i’m trying to keep happy and healthy.  i just wish i could have one thing together for the moment.  i hate writing this stuff here b/c really, it’s my problem, not yours.

(i shouldn’t be blogging in a bad mood, right? if you’re fighting yourself to write, it will most likely end poorly….)

 

my horoscope today. a recurring theme June 23, 2008

hmmm.

Good for you for always being there for your friends! But while you’re so busy supporting them, who is supporting you? Today, start switching your focus back to your own problems. The one exception should be an older relative: If they need any attention from you, you should definitely give it to them. They miss the sound of your voice and your unique way of looking at things. Stop saving the world and start showing your loved ones that you value them in your life.

never gonna fall for modern love June 18, 2008

i love reading modern love in the nytimes.

a recent one really caught my eye, it’s called “let’s not get to know each other better” and you should read it. you’re not doing anything at work anyway.

back in the drama capitol of the world. June 17, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — sortofcrafty @ 2:35 pm

so, i’m back and i guess a lot happened while i was gone. good, glad i was on the road. more road trips next week too, so save your troubles for then. anyway. i’m not bitter, just you know, road weary.

austin was good. did a ton of stuff, ate too much, didn’t get sunburned, felt awesome. the travel part was terrible. bad flights out, hours in memphis for no reason, my luggage went missing on the way back. so i can only imagine what my travel next week will involve. it was awesome to hang with s II for a few days.

tonight i’m heading to the 48 hr film fest screening. some people i know participated so that’ll be good, even if i’m tired. the weekend is packed. this weekend was kinda random. i’m not sure what is in the air lately and what is making everyone so…. crazy. full moon tomorrow i guess. that’ll do it.

so, i’ve not really been writing much b/c i’m been really writing- i.e. on paper. i like it. i feel better when i do it. i missed swimming this AM b/c that 1 hour of extra sleep was so important to me. eventhough i knew i would feel better today if i just got up, i totally couldn’t. the weather changed a bit, i wonder if that has anything to do with it….

so, if i’m absent, it just means i’m writing this out on paper.
