raybear | MIA style. Not Miami -- Missing In Action

So Nimda virus has messed up the ISP in NYO, which means internet access is sporadic at work, and only certain sites, and yahoo and livejournal are not among the sites that work. Hrmph. So I've been MIA for too long. And I only have about 13 minutes now because I"m at the public library.

Here's the short version, including reminders of things to talk about later.

Friday. Went to Second City. Loved it. I love sketch comedy.
Saturday. Cleaned up a lot of the apartment. Went grocery store and hardware store with MelRo. Came home and did some cleanup, made first mixtape, watched MadTV (I love sketch comedy), and went to bed.
Sunday. Slept in more than should have. Did more cleaning. Around noon, folks for Damon's shindig started trickling in. The last folks left aroun 6:30 pm. Damon stayed longer and we chatted. Then he left and I made a couple phone calls. Had talk with MelRo. Had brief fight with MelRo. Had quasi-resolution and overall feel good stuff with MelRo. Went to bed realizing that everything I thought I wanted and needed is different. Not necessarily polar opposite or anything, but different. Will write about this later.
Monday. Worked from 8:30 am until 7 pm on brief. Only had a 30 minute break for lunch. Went home thoroughly exhausted.
Tuesday. Went to work -- too long break to see SHANA who was in town briefly on her way home to Reno. I love her so much. Must visit her in Bay Area soon. Worked in the afternoon, went home and made soul food for dinner (needed some 'home' for some reason). Finished mixtape for Br___ and started second mixtape for Tara. Went to bed.

Now for some random commentary on things.
- Fall is here. It's cold and I"m wearing a jacket and smoking more.
- Mr. Mr. (from my office) is quitting!!! Seems to be some general buzz in the office as well, probably surrounding his departure, but I"m paranoid so I fear I"m going to get fired. Why? I dont' know. WAit I do. It's because I'm stupid in my paranoia.
- I've been more productive at work lately and liking it. What's that about? I hope this lasts awhile. Like 6 months.
- RILEY and ALEX. Please try to reach me by phone instead of e-mail. I would love to hang out this weekend. Sorry I didn't get in touch last weekend. (Alex, I"m so glad you're home safe, and I love the pics! Are you going to post the more risque ones????)
- That's all for now and I"m almost out of time. Hope all is well in other folks -- is it weird to say I miss my LJ friends and community? Well, I do. Why won't the internet work at work????

Peace.
