status check - tired
background ambiance - typical sounds

i just have to keep reminding myself of the fact that i like being busy. but good god - i walk in this afternoon and am instantly innundated with "what's the progress?" "status check on this?" "what are you working on today?" "any word on that?"

hello there. how are you? i'm well, thank you for inquiring.

but such is life. i've been working hard lately, i'm tired, i haven't been sleeping well and it's starting to show. i've felt sluggish, a little out of sorts, not to mention dead to the world in the mornings, therefore making me a lousy (or at least laughable) flatmate to my 9-to-5er friend.

but the weekend approaches and i am looking forward to the adventures to come. i'll be able to recharge my batteries over three days' time, spending a long weekend within sight of my favorite skyline.

while i am not fortuante enough to be able to rock the red sox on friday, i'll get to shimmy and sing a bit to some music types come monday. gavin degraw and michael tolcher are still on the road together, but at avalon, averi will fill the second slot vaco occupied at uvm (see previous reference here). it'll be interesting (to say the least) to see how gd and mt's performances have changed in six months - and it will be fantastic to see michael back on sax for averi (although i hope dennis is there!).

most of all, however, i'm happy about the chance to enjoy boston for more than a brief day or evening. three days of relaxation, including further exploration of the city, the inevitable fantastic conversation with my brother, the hottest/best curry known to mankind and whatever else comes along. i plan to wander, i plan to take pictures of things and people i like and i plan to love the city as much as i can for someone who doesn't live there but visits so often she might as well.

viva bostonia.

and, finally, mraz's note to rkop regarding the "lost journal entry" rocks. word, man.

wonderfully put - as always, in that same conversational yet intelligent tone i enjoy so much.
