sushi-fest every night at 6 and from eight to midnight we dance ...

october - i love this time of year. the trees are burning orange, yellow, red and green, having burst into color seemingly overnight. the drive to and from work (well, either to or from, as one part of the trip is always in darkness) has become all the more gorgeous, as i cruise past fields and forests ...

the drive up to burlington tuesday was blissful. the sun shone into my car, seeming as if it must still provide some of the summer heat. but when i lowered my window, the crisp breeze of autumn cooled my face and made me feel glad to have worn a nice warm, cozy sweater. ah ... there's just something about this month - the last desperate games of baseball season, the crisp, almost raw days bleeding into the bracing nights. breaking out the flannel sheets and curling up in a warm cocoon of comforter and blankets. the anticipation of my favorite holiday - halloween (must be the theater side), which kicks off the annual "let's cram everything into two months" celebration series - halloween, my birthday, my father's birthday, thanksgiving, christmas, new year's ... it all seems to race together. i like to think of it as a big ol' celebration, since it'll be too cold to do much outdoors ...

more concert revelry on the horizon. averi next week, followed by a little break before the possibility of badly drawn boy and the definite attendance at ani (rockonrockonrockon ...). furthermore, i will heed paul's advice (as he's yet to lead me wrong) and definitely partake in rufus wainwright goodness in mid-november(revelrevelrevelrevel ...). avalon or iron horse? or perchance montreal? who is up for some traveling and where do you want to go?
