Nov. 20th, 2003 01:45 pmlast night was a good night.
stayed at work a bit later then i expected to, drove to pick up![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sol3, and after some parking hassles, we ended up at boston billiards. we had dinner there and spent some time playing pool and drinking beer, and it was fun : ) i lost, of course, but i did manage to get the right balls to go into the right places every once in a while. after that, he and i went to my place, watched the rest of bound and capped off our evening. i think it was just what i needed before this weekend.
i think i slept well, too, and woke up more awake then the past few days. it was warmer in my room (because its been warmer and humid out, and i'm sure the draft brought in some humidity), so i'll take that as a good sign for getting a timed heater. of course, i also had a boy to snuggle with, and that could've certainly helped things ( schmoop )
i have a headlight out and my right-side mirror is dangling by a cord.
in theory, this means i should really take it easy when driving tonight - my car might as well have "cop magnet" painted on it. of course, whether or not i'll be able to is another story. i am looking forward to being home, it feels like its been a while - probably because the haircut was a big change, and my mom hasn't seen it yet. i'll need to bunk in abi's room for at least part of my visit, as my mom's childhood best friend is also visiting. on some levels, i'm really excited to see her, and on others, i'm apprehensive, because i have issues with some of the choices she's made lately.
i'm also due to meet up with someone i knew when going to HS in california. we were never super-close, butkittypie found her on friendster, and it seems the gods have decided that i need to go to brooklyn this weekend (see, iggee?)
making new connections in NYC feels a little weird right now... like my roots are getting stretched too thin. i'm not quite sure where that is going to go.
i'm fairly bad at answering personal email.
for the past couple of years, i've had about 25-30 emails in my inbox - which meant that i meant to read them more deeply and/or reply. if my inbox swelled to about 35, it meant i was really slacking and needed to put time aside to respond to people.
over the past couple of weeks, i went through a bunch of those emails and filed them - accepting that some will never be answered, as its been 6+ months and it if hasn't happened yet, it probably won't. now, i'm down to 14. and while this is good on some levels, when the number swells, it still won't hit me that i need to get off my butt and reply to people until there's much more of an accumulation (until i adjust to the new number... which'll hopefully be within a couple of months)
when i got home, close to 11, i checkedmortis' room, and its empty. it was weird to see it empty, and weird to know that he's gone. while the road did have its bumps, he'd been a roommate for two and a half years, which is a large chunk of time. sol3 asked who helped him move... and i said i didn't know. and then i saw a graven images posted and stack of business cards on the coffee table, so now i have a pretty good guess.i also recognized bugmanhai's mouth in the poster, and for some reason, found its presence slightly creepy while watching bound.
