I am sorry to have been neglecting my Livejournal duties lately. My entire brain has been consumed with one of two items: AIDSWalk (fundraising! benefit! fundraising! benefit!) and redecorating my apartment.
Zach, I think, is beginning to be fed up with my inclination to think up/take on more and more projects, increasingly complicated and time-suck-ish. What is that old saying about if you want to get something done ask a busy person? I mean, not that I'm super productive, because haha, not. (I love saying "not." I propose that we bring it back.) Anyway, what usually happens is that I start doing something and then I start doing something else, and then I get distracted by this other thing, and then I realize now is probably a good time to play guitar, but first I should really start some laundry, and I wonder if the good guy is working at the smoothie place up the road, but real quick before I go I will take some measurements of the alcove in the hallway so I can start drafting a drawing of the new shelving system, and so on and so forth into oblivion.
Which is my way of excusing myself for going away from Livejournal for the last week-ish. My cousin Scottie joined the Peace Corps (a holy shit awesome balls-out move that I very much envy and would like to emulate someday), so I went to visit him last weekend. I've been moving, rearranging, and puttering all over my apartment, which is probably making my roommates and animals want to kill me or themselves. And of course, at the forefront of my brain at ALL TIMES is the AIDSWalk benefit. I stress about it every year, to some degree, but this year, with the cavernous maw of theater space and bigger-name people performing, well, the stakes are high. I am very scared it will be a miserable failure, that no one will come, and that I will die cold, friendless, and alone, and Zach keeps having to remind me that no, nothing bad will happen, hey, look, a nickel, and so forth. Oh also, Zach's brother and sister-in-law added a baby to the family. I had nothing to do with this, but it's still been occupying precious brain real estate in the last few days.
Does everyone else do this too? Pile projects on yourself when you already feel dangerously time-stretched? I would like a nap, but I don't want to take one because if I do everything might crumble into the ocean.
Anyone reading any good books? I just finished The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, and it was yummy. Need more reading gobbles.
Oh yeah, go see this show. I hear it's going to be good.
