Ahh, yes, that’s the name we chose for ourselves and look! So fitting.
I don’t even really know where to start: it’s been a heck of a time, frankly. The beginning, probably a good place.
Mark came in, ear infection and head cold, and met me outside Union Square. We happened to be there the same time as Cat-Hat-Man, which was epic to say the least. He looked frazzled, that special way people do when they get sick the first day of vacation. We ate mac and cheese and meandered back to Brooklyn.
And then, the Jew Party! Purim, or something like that, and there was an RV filled with Hasids driving around my block, blaring rock music with Yiddish lyrics. You can’t make this stuff up. We crept out onto the stoop and stood, pretending to smoke our cigarettes, but sneaking peeks into the buildings when the doors would open up and the people would spill out. Celebration!
Mark and I got bagels, which he found to be amazingly delicious, and then he had to get back to Times Square to meet his travelling partner.
And then Travis showed up that evening, and there was MoMa, vegan soul food, Margaritavillefest ’09.
And, as always, back to Pittsburgh; a six-hour drive through winding hills and damn I just wanted to be home.
I kicked my feet up, relaxedddd and essentially did nothing for a week. I did catch glimpses of the Sonic and Five Guys being constructed in Greensburg; so exciting! Good food, so close now!
And then, back to Brooklyn and a ludicrously busy week: confirmations, news searches, complicated trips by train and then! The Vagina Monologues. Not quite as exciting as last year, but we pulled it off, raised $115 for charity, which I’m considering an accomplishment.
And now: veging time. My stress level back to normal [somewhere between a 4 or 5 on a daily basis, on a scale from one to ten] and I’m done.
This took far too long to get posted, and for that, I apologize. I am not good with promptness.
