arrived home last night around 11, got ready for bed, had the tv on and one of my lamps so i could watch letterman and see mayer. i remember his opening monologue and don't at all recall taking off my glasses (but i must have, as they were resting on my nightstand this morning).

woke up when my alarm went off with the tv still on, my light still on--having fallen asleep at some point shortly after said monologue. so i missed mayer's performance--which i hear wasn't exactly up to par. sounded really breathy and apparently has developed this pattern of "marching" during these performances--i don't know exactly what that's about, but i intend to find a video capture of the performance online so i can see it for myself.

fun times last night. didn't make it to the staff assistant happy hour, but instead enjoyed ed's birthday dinner and wound up at stetson's for some relaxation. i'm planning on continuing this relaxing state this evening--i plan on going to the gym, then either renting a movie or watching some television (shush beth--i was hoping for this anyway, and i won't be at the gym for three hours!!!!). but who knows...maybe i'll be dragged somewhere for a drink after work. ;) i anticipate a low-key friday night to rest up for a fun-filled saturday evening...

and since there have been some concerns relayed to me about this, here are the answers to the "is vickie in montgomery county?" FAQ:

- yes, i am in montgomery county
- i was made aware of the string of shootings when i woke up yesterday morning.
- i'm a few towns away from where the shootings occurred, and while i'm relatively close to where they occurred, i have no concerns about my saftey. i live in a ridiculously safe neighborhood and i know not to go near any white vans with damaged rears and i know to not play with any people sporting hunting rifles.
- i will, however, be careful and appreciate your concern. but fear not--no one's going to hunt me down!

the phones...they are a ringin'. as you can probably assume considering today's political events, it is going to be a very busy day...
