there were ham cakes on the menu at brunch today.
no lie, ham cakes.

okay, there were other things in the pancakes besides ham…. but HAM CAKES.
seriously…

this is ridiculous. this rain needs to stop. it’s going to stop, and then we’re going to steam because everything is wet. what happened to spring, i ask? maybe i should put my a/c in the window this weekend.

tomorrow i am going to “beautiful” new jersey. client visit. we are flying out of BOS at 6am. (seriously, amateur colleagues picked this flight.) we get there at 7:30. our meeting does not start until 10. 10!!! wtf. our meeting ends at 3, and we don’t leave EWR till 6:30. please make it stop.

on the upshot, the weekend looks like it’s shaping up to be good… hopefully.

i am super excited for the weekend. i’m not doing anything all that special, but i think it will be a good weekend. i plan to go out with K tomorrow night, if he doesn’t cancel on me again. i think we’re going candlepin bowling at sacco’s. i really almost despise candlepin bowling, but whatever.

saturday is going to be a day of wonders! i’m going to get up early, clean/vacuum and wash my car. then i’m going to head over to the union square farmer’s market to see what delicious items i can find. my acupuncturist told me that they also have a knife-sharpening man.  I will bring some knives to get sharp! i also need to hit up the library as i finished my book last week. it is overdue as usual, so i need to pay them too! i’m such a bad library citizen.

step and nikki come home from colorado on saturday, too. i can’t wait to hear about their trip!

mmmm.. Kathleen Edwards.

this week is shaping up to be a good week.  monday we moved into our new office up here in burlington MA. i think i posted some pics on my twitter. i still need to decorate, but elvis did make it over. i didn’t think the movers would move him, but he had a sticker, so he’s here! monday night i had beer’s with M. i am very jealous of his multi-computorial skillz and his instrumental prowess.

last night i stayed home due to being very sleepy. i made some ramen (not ramen, really, but a different kind from super88 that comes with chili and an oil packet which i don’t use.) i watched nurse jackie on on-demand. i also decided to sack-out early, and watched y tu mama tambien in bed. what a movie! i really enjoyed the story, but the end made me really sad.

tonight i’m off to J,C &C’s for not-arrested development-night, tomorrow, playing pool and beers with K. he’s going to kick my ass. friday, my bff is coming up from long island to spend the weekend with me. we’re going to have so much fun!

i’ve been having such sleep troubles the past few months. i thought it was coming under control the past two weeks. however, i took a turn. sunday night i was up til 1am, i don’t know why. but i did watch 3 episodes of gossip girl season 1. monday i slept really well, because i went to the gym at lunch, and then played softball after work. last night, was a different story. tossing and turning from 11-1am. yuck. and then i had weirdo dreams on top of it.

i’ve been having really violent dreams. it never gets bloody, but i’m either destroying someone’s property (ripping up paper, throwing things..etc.) trying to punch someone, giving my ex a head wound, and then holding him while he was bleeding, breaking and entering…. i don’t know what my subconsicous is trying to tell me. last nights difficulties were probably due to eating dinner too late, and then it being a little humid and warm for sleeping. on the upshot, i did finish a “project” that i had to finish. hopefully it will get in the mail soon.

to top it all off, there is no diet coke in the vending machine here at work. yes, i could go upstairs to the third floor to get my fix, but why? i will probably fall dead asleep on the acupuncture table this evening, and then fall asleep on the couch at J,C, and C’s watching 30 rock after.

can we get back together so we can go to this: HARD Summer?

going down to MD/DC was awesome. I had a great time with G1 and G2.

Saturday when i got to town we went to an open studios type art festival in a nearby town. there was one artist that i loved. i should have taken her card. she basically used mixed media on canvas or cardboard, and then coated it in wax, and then made impressions in the wax. i was very inspired. too bad i don’t have an extra room for an art/music/step’scomputer stuff room. saturday night G1 and i went to dinner with my cousin down in bethesda where she lives. we had vietnamese food. it was delish.

sunday we went to a nationals game and i got to sample hard times chili, which is apparently some of the best. G2 and i split some of their nachos. G2 was a little sad that that the chili that is used at the ball park is not her favorite one. i guess they have more than one kind. the nat’s lost, but i had a good time. and a beer! sunday night we went to dinner at this place called franklin’s. they had great food and a little attached “general store.” i picked up some candy for the movie (forthcoming) and some tub toys for my nephew. i wanted to get him some cool puppets from “where the wild things are,” but i think they might scare him. he’s still too young for those. then we went and saw star trek. loved it, x2. i <3 kirk.

monday G1 and i went into DC and did some exploring. we went to eat lunch at the native american museum. apparently that’s what you do there. you go eat. they have great food. i had these great chicken mole tacos, and fry bread with honey and cinnamon. (not the healthiest, but still great.) we then took off to the air and space museum and the natural history museum. i love hanging out with G1. she makes me laugh all the time, and is like me in museums. we have to go and read and touch everything. monday night we tried to go to a girls rock event, but it happend on sunday, so we missed it. we did have great dinner at a coffee shop/bar/restaurant/performance space called busboys and poets. great great atmosphere.

all in all, i had a great trip. i love the buzz of dc. it reminds me of new york, and how much i miss the city. tuesday, i was on a plane home at 10:30am. G1 and G2 drove me to the airport. that was nice to have both of them see me off.

as for memorial day weekend, i just relaxed. hit up super88 for some curry, miso, (not to be used together,) dumplings, kohlrabi and sesame buns. monday i hung out at passim with my people. my friends h and b were each playing in a round, so step and i went to h’s round, then hit wagamama for lunch, and went back for b’s round. it made me miss playing music. i should start that again. i feel like if i start, i won’t be able to control what comes out, and that scares me.

i’m going on a mini-vaca this weekend to visit my friend G and my cousin down in the DC area.

this should be fun! i miss G and we’ll have tons of fun. unfortunately, A will be in town too. Thank jebus he doesn’t know i’m going to be there.

one tequila, lost, two tequila, lost OMG, beer, lost and sleepy, more beer lost BOOM, bed.

also, i’m having very violent dreams. in which i am the one being violent. but i’ve never killed anyone, and can never really land any hard punches.

last night i saw star trek.

i loved it.

that is all.
