i had several topics for today’s post, everything from a review of labor day centered around the concept of reconnecting with old friends, to a play by play of last night’s first improv lesson, to a philosophical pondering of whether or not it’s ok to continue to live in your 30’s as you did in your 20’s. But honestly i don’t have the stamina to go into any one of those in detail. so let’s do some bullet point quick hits.
1. Improv = awesome. totally random, my sisters new roommate is in the class. crazy talk. I have already planned out my next 6 months around taking more improv classes, and stressed about missing a class for a course i haven’t signed up for yet because of thanksgiving. now that’s planning!
2. PT visited this weekend and we went to a VERY poorly attended A’s game:
the thing is, i sort of prefer oakland when there aren’t that many people there. no lines for food, easy to get to the BART, good times. PT and I spent most of the afternoon pretending to be jerks from boston. a stretch, as you might imagine.
3. My friend from high school, Huntley, was also in town. I hadn’t seen Huntley since college, and it’s probably been 10 years since we spoke. Despite that, we were able to have a fun evening, catch up, and went from: “so what are you doing now?” to “I think that growing up is about making tough choices and closing off paths” in 3 hours or so. We also went out in the Marina, and despite my PR attempts that it’s “not bad”, i still don’t want to go out there. ever. again.
4. Liana gets here in like 10 days! wooooo!
5. In the next 3 weeks both my mom and dad will be visiting. I’m stressed about Dad’s visit since Liana will not be here yet and Dad wants to go to Napa. Except when we went to Sonoma last time, we went to 2 wineries, and then Dad said that he didn’t want to drink anymore. and I couldn’t drink because i was driving. i need to find some other solution. Olive Oil show maybe??
6. Work is busy. busy enough that i left this browser window open for 2 hours while writing game challenges.
7. and everything else, simply is…
