... good lord.

... good lord.

as night two of victoria's nightlife prowling comes to a close ... fun times, indeed. i have a lengthy post about last night that i typed up, but was unable to post due to the fact that my internet decided not to work yesterday (bah.), but i will do so tomorrow. well, probably sunday.

but tonight. i had company for this evening's endeavors - miss elizabeth and mr. charles made the trip up to burlington with me for the entertainment i was to observe and review. good company, interesting surroundings and opportunities to experience scenes i would probably never otherwise experience. a metal show at higher ground followed by rock downstairs at nectar's before exploring the trance/beat/funk upstairs in metronome (which i had not been in since the benefit concert over a year ago ... so that's what the place looks like when there are actually concertgoers there ...). many, many familiar st. michael's faces, which was both amusing and jarring at the same time.

the long-lusted after muddy's shakes and nectar's gravy fries = mmmm. the burlington version of pizza mart and just as tasty - even when sober!

after returning to beth's, i have settled down at the computer to jot down tonight's thoughts, finding it more difficult than last night's reviewing. i'm not sure if it's due to the fact that i'm trying to juggle between three sets of impressions as opposed to one or if it's a result of the fatigue i battled all day. during the evening, i was completely awake and energized, but i'm crashing now and, to be honest, dreading work in less than five hours ...

but there's only one more day of the madness - work tomorrow followed by another trip up north to cover one event, following which i will run over to the newsroom, splice together the fragmented stories and file them as my notebook sketch, leaving it all in the trustworthy hands of my editors. then return to the southern part of the state to sleep, wake up to work sunday and commence operation get up north already.

oy.

my next day off is saturday - the day i believe i'm covering an arts event. i believe i have sunday off as well - that will be, i hope, a full day off so i can organize my life and start planning the way i can get all of this together ...

... and maybe sleep. but that remains to be seen. ;-)
