Decisions Feel Different In The Dark

There’s a significant gap between what I really want and what I know I should do. Mostly I’d like to stop agonizing over it. At least temporarily. Which brings me to the highlight of my day. Watching an episode from The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection (via Netflix on demand) with my son, while his whole body shook with laughter. Those belly laughs lifted my spirits, if only for a little bit.

The weekend was all highs and lows as weekends often are. Friday night I nearly got to see some friends’ bands play. But when leaving the house I discovered not one but both of my main headlights had gone out. I grudgingly stayed in as I didn’t think I could get away with using my hi-beams for city driving. Saturday had more shiny happy highlights. Woke up to watch BSG before some lovely friends arrived for brunch. And the cat show. And getting my headlight situation sorted (thank you Auto Zone). And United Noodles. And a pit stop at Uptown Tattoo (for one of my companions). And everfood from Evergreen. Ending with a slightly surreal evening at our other friends’ apartment. Where the boyfriend-person showed up not five minutes after I’d left. Le sigh.

Sunday was not lazy either. It was a big day, and not because of the big game. Instead Clockworkers gathered in our beautiful new building, with our friends and family members, to unpack. After I felt fairly well settled in, and plenty worn out by my child’s running around, we relocated to the YWCA. Swimming beat out Superbowl parties. I needed a good soak in the whirlpool more than football and any further socializing.

Bonus: There’s a restaurant in Saint Louis, MO called The Bleeding Deacon. Which serves vegan pineapple upside down cake. How very odd.
Plus: Muxtape seems to be back, but in a significantly diminished capacity. “…the new Muxtape, a minimalist platform for bands to promote their music and listeners to create mixes.” Speaking of music, I enjoyed this rendition of Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. created by the kids at First Amendment Arts.
And: Perhaps some kind knitter out there could maybe take pity on me and make me this hat (in those colors) because I’ll never figure out how to knit.

    if you find someone to make you the hat, beg for two. I love it, and I’m pretty sure it would make me both better looking and smarter.
