Wasted most of the weekend either asleep or in a funk, although it was somewhat brightened by going for drinks with
yoopie and
alana_ash on Saturday evening, then watching Little Miss Sunshine last night with the doomies.
Spent a lot of time thinking about how I've been slacking off on a lot of my projects, since I've been feeling rather worn-thin as of late. I suppose I've had decent enough excuses, but at some point I have to get myself back on track. Staying up talking on the phone until 3am most nights isn't helping much either, although I really don't want to cut back on that right now, as it's been my one reliable comfort through all the recent madness.
Music:
I haven't finished any recordings in months (although I'm still making progress, little by little, at least), and I have 4 or 5 songs that need to be written. Really, I think I need to get back to the piano. I've gotten so overwhelmed and frustrated with arranging and tweaking and obsessing over tiny errors that I've lost my central focus: at the heart of it all, it has to be about me and the piano. It's cliche, I know, but I don't care.
Exercise:
When October begins on Thursday, I won't be buying a monthly bus pass, which will both save money and force me to bike the 8 miles to work everyday. I'm hoping this will kick-start my metabolism. I have gotten a few remarks in the last couple weeks that people have noticed that I've lost weight, which seems funny to me because I've been such a slug recently. I definitely need to get out dancing again - but I'd like to maybe find places to go that are a little closer to home. Are there any decent clubs and/or dance nights in N/NE?
Other:
It appears that I'll be going home to Fresno sometime around Christmas. I don't know exactly when or for how long. I'll post an update when I know more.
Due to the whole work business, I'm going to be pretty much broke from here on out, unless I manage to find a new job. I'm still going to try to 1-on-1 with people, but we'll have to meet at places that are very very inexpensive.
Speaking of which, I've got an open 1-on-1 slot for tomorrow night, anyone want to get together?
