Po-town

I'm still here. I'll be here for 31 more days. Eek. That's a very long time.

Let me straighten a few things out--I don't hate being home. In fact, it's very relaxing. A little too relaxing. I've realized over the years that the busier I am, the more I get done in my spare time. I know that sounds a little bizarre, but if I have a whole day free, I'd rather keep it free and do absolutely nothing than add one little thing to it, marring it permanently. Alas, I've been doing a whole lot of nothing in the afternoons.

Work is going fine. I could always work 8 hours a day instead of 4, but I feel like there are only so many hours a day I can do the same exact thing and talk to complete strangers or their answering machines. I figure that's logical reasoning.

I've been practicing a bit, but not enough, and reading, but sad to say I'm not in love with Arrowsmith, my current read. I refuse to quit it, so I only hope my next book captures me more. There are a lot of books I'd like to read, including Life of Pi, and Anais Nin's journals. I'd be really excited if Wally Lamb, Clive Barker, or Fannie Flagg wrote anymore books--I rarely look for books under author, but those three (and I admit, Stephen King's older classics) always keep me happy and engrossed. It's such a bummer when you're in a middle of a book that you can stand to put down. Sigh.

My standard distractions are no more--no more high speed internet, no more IU friends, and no more living alone. I'm actually looking forward to shopping on Sunday. Please, get up off the floor and back into your chair. It's for the company a lot more than for the shopping--hugs to Leanne and Kaitlyn, my two pretend sisters.

I'll be in the city (NYC) June 1-4, and then back again the 14th and 15th for Met in the Park! Start keeping your fingers crossed that it doesn't rain--particularly for June 14th, 8pm. Tosca, my favorite opera to date will be performed. I can't forget last summer when a few of us planned to see Barber's violin concerto, and sat under a garbage bag in the rain until they cancelled it. Blah. :(

Well, since my life is so absolutely interesting right now, I suppose I should leave you to ponder it all. Haha.

Ciao for now~
