(Post) Weekend Report

Wow, I'm sleepy. I don't get it. I was asleep by 10:30 last night, awake at 6:30 this morning, gym for an hour, one cup of coffee for the day--my usual routine. So why am I so tired?


This weekend was full of lovely things.

Friday night I had dinner with friends and then went to Paranoid Social Club at Revolution Hall in Troy for a night of rock. It was great. Those guys are FABulous every single time I see them.

Saturday I went to River Street in Troy to pretend to browse for antiques for a scene piece I'm writing for this week's paper. Saturday night: dinner at this new place called Avenue A (the name of which can only conjure images of Avenue Q for me), where I had some excellent Korean steak. Then to the Egg for a hip-hop dance revue, which rocked as well.

Yesterday I went to Kristie's old house to see her mom and brother-in-law, Steve, and little niece Maeve (whose hair is getting soooo long!), and to pick up a very nice table that was unwanted by them but desperately needed by me for my dining room. That was followed by regular Sunday activities: grocery shopping, cooking for the week, cleaning. And I had a nice afternoon nap with Asa while watching The Labyrinth.

My brother has reported to me today that our landlord came and fixed our garbage disposal, which has been broken for almost a week--a situation that was really bumming me out. So I'm extremely pleased about that.

Off to find some food. . .

NOW Conference in Albany

Albany was the place the National Organization for Women decided to celebrate their 40th anniversary--Ani Difranco spoke, and I went down to cover it. Read my little story here. Thanks to Alicia for taking pics.

Sorry I Haven't Posted in a While . . .

"Busy" doesn't even begin to describe my life.


That, and my camera broke.

Best Of

In the middle of Best Of Hell. See you on the other side. Hopefully.

Together Again

Kristie's in town, so she and Kate and I went out for dinner and drinks last night. We discussed, among many other things, marriage (specifically, Kristie's new one, Kate's potential one, and all our parents' crumbled ones). I love those girls.

Goin' Out in Binghamton

I was home this weekend and hung out with Laura and our friend Joe on Saturday night. I swear Laura has the whitest teeth in history. That day, I took Dylan to out to lunch, and then we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean (and loved it!).

Nate and Frank

These two fed me waaay too much wine last night!

Work Work Work

I hate that I have to work today. Hate it! I want to be home making hazelnut rugalach! (I was planning on making it yesterday--I bought ingredients and everything--but found I was without extra-fine granulated sugar, damnit.) Oh well, there is way too much to do to make sure the paper comes out this week to be home today. We have tomorrow off, and I'll be taking my Little Sister to the Fourth of July festivities at the plaza. See you there?
