New Year, Same Old Shit
So I'm a slacker. I haven't posted in awhile. Unfortunately life has been too bland to warrant a post of any kind. Fran's been gone for 6 months. Sometimes I feel like I'm over the worst part and feel the strength that I can go on and rebuild myself. Other days I feel like the most wretched beast and don't want to leave the safety of my bedroom. But I guess it's really always been like this.
I spent New Years down in Trenton at a club called Kat Man Du. My friend's friends' raggae band (though I'd like to consider them my friends now as well, since I go to see them practically every weekend!) played and I had a good time. Surreal as always, but fun nonetheless.
I finally got my iPod. It's my new addiction. I wish I had more time to download all my CDs. I only have 137 songs on it as of now and it can hold 1000. I have much downloading to do.
Went to Mary's last night for wine and horror movie night. There was a slight drizzle and some wind on my way there. Not long after I arrived we opened the door and a blizzard hit us in the face. I swear it came out of nowhere. I felt like the house had gone through some kind of portal and landed on another planet...another dimension. The wind was absolutely wicked.
So I considered myself snowed in...and let me tell you, there ain't anybody better to be snowed in with than Mary! We proceeded to watch a movie called Pi. I thought it was excellent, very weird, atmospheric movie. I enjoyed it immensely. And much wine was drunk...drank....drinked...what the hell is the proper tense for that? ;) Then we popped in the original Dawn of the Dead. And much wine was consumed (better, huh?). Then the power went out. And much wine was sipped (nah, consumed was better). We spent hours talking until my buzz wore off, the plows had come by, and the snow had ceased. But the wind was still wicked. Driving home at 3:30 in the morning, my van was pushed all over the road. But I made it home alive, and then got up and went to work today. Blech.
So now I'm sitting home, waiting for Fran to drop off the kids. I still haven't quite gotten used to not seeing them for an entire weekend. It sends an ache into my heart when I walk past their empty bedrooms at night. The house just feels so damn empty without them.
No exciting plans on the horizon. Same old same old. Hopefully something random and interesting will happen so I have reason to give you all an update. Until then...
