listening to: fictional - fictitious

craving: coffee. good coffee. not office coffee.

last night: i stayed at the office till about five. i scanned some photos from a disposable camera that i just got developed- some of them go way back. as soon as i get them all converted to jpeg and uploaded, i’ll post them.

at five i went to union square to meet draven. it was weird being in union square again - i used to be there so much [i mean, i lived there for like nine months], but i hadn’t been since i first moved to brooklyn in may. draven was adorable, as always. we walked over to the tobacco store on university place and i got some more cloves. it takes me so long to go through a pack, since i only smoke at clubs. it adds up to about two or three cigarettes a week.

after that, we took the train to times square. draven came with me to sephora, where i spent too much money but got some great new stuff. then i went with him to the nyc wf store. the contrast was amusing - sephora is like estrogen-land, but the wrestling store is testosterone-country. i was needing caffeine at that point, so we found a starbucks and chilled there for a while. then we went back to union square, thinking we could catch a movie, but the timing on all the shows was wrong, or it was something we didn’t want to see, so we just walked around for a while and then i went home.

yesterday’s theme was me spacing out on the subway. on my way to meet draven, i wandered onto a queens-bound train instead of a brooklyn-bound one, and was in queens plaza before i realized my mistake. then, on my way home later that night, i was zoning out on the n, and when we got to court street for some reason i thought i’d missed dekalb, where i change to the d. so i ran off the train, only to realize that as soon as i got on a manhattan-bound train that i hadn’t missed my stop after all. so i got off at the next stop and caught another brooklyn-bound n going the same way i’d already been going. i’m such a space cadet sometimes, i really am.

estimated hours of sleep: eight and a half

so far today: set my alarm for ten, but i woke up at nine feeling decently rested, so i got up. checked my mail, fucked around on the web for a bit. i’m listening to the fictional album now, which i haven’t in a while.

current plans for later today: i’m about to hop in the shower, and around noon i’m heading over to spencer’s apartment. we didn’t end up doing anything yesterday, but it’s no big deal. i’ll probably see him for most of today. then tonight, i’m probably seeing draven, and what we do is dependant on how much better i feel. we might go to qxt’s in jersey if i’m up to it, or we might stay in at my place and watch movies or something.

what else: so it turns out my great-aunt [i think she's my great aunt. the relation is kind of complicated, but that's close enough], who is i believe somewhere around ninety, is dying. i’m flying to michigan next weekend, where she and the rest of my mother’s family live. it’s very depressing. the last time i went to michigan was, i believe, for her husband’s funeral.
