The week-and-a-smidgen in review
Oct. 14th, 2012 05:40 pmSince my last missive regarding the quasi-open mic performance on the Thursday before last, here's what I've been up to:
Friday: Drove out to Troy for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aquila_dominus's last-minute birthday song circle, wherein a great deal of creepy stuff saw the light of day in honor of the season, along with a medley of penis songs and every Jonathan Coulton everything. cluegirl and I did a bang-out-of-the-park version of "Strowler's Song" by request, as well as "Dead Egyptian Blues"; as a soloist, I premiered a New One called "Peaks of Forty-One" after cranking out a Monkees cover. Good times.
Saturday: Stuck around in Troy long enough forcluegirl and I to rehearse together for our Not So Sekrit Music Project, which we only get to do once every couple of months. Hightailed it home in time for Skype date with belgatherial, which is always a joy.
Sunday: Blissful and sweet general hanging-out withfigmentj, which conflicting work schedules has made all the more precious. The scoping out of the local diner for Sunday breakfast was less than successful (undercooked pancakes for the bleach), but we did some of our own music-making, rehearsing some Rebecca Loebe and Glen Hansard covers until my guitar string snapped in two. Boooo.
Monday: Worked. Weekly pizza and TV night withfigmentj.
Tuesday: Worked. Restrung the guitar.
Wednesday: Worked. Came home early in excruciating pain, ongoing evidence that I am not managing work stress very well. The radio show went swimmingly, however.
Thursday: Worked. Bought groceries.
Friday: Worked, dammit. Celebrated the Fridayness of it all. Heard from the manager that not only are they keeping me on longer, but they're upgrading my position, which translates out to "bargaining chip for a better paycheck." Woohoo!
Saturday: Slow waking-up morning, with plenty of good talk and good snuggling with a warm and sleepyfigmentj, then a drive by myself (J had to work) down to the old Watertown stompin' grounds for some October recharging. Gallivanted around Harvard Square by myself a while, then returned to crash with shadesong, sindrian and yendi, including homemade pizza, Dominion and emilytheslayer and sairaali coming by for fiber-spinning and splendid conversation. Collected hugs and mp3s in quantity.
Today: Slept later than intended. Metmgrasso and ultra_lilac for Panera, then ran a mission of mercy to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for staples unavailable in the wilds of New Hampshire. Currently relaxing in anticipation of dinner and a movie to celebrate the anniversary of the Momentous First Date with figmentj way back when (that would be 2010).
There were a good four or five long-form, ostensibly interesting posts I had in mind based on the above material, until the Idontwanna!Beast robbed me of any online-focused initiative for the entire damn week. Please, be a dear and pretend I was scintillating and clever, if you don't mind. Thanks much.
