After the Parties

I have been peopled out. Two days of partying is a bit much for me these days. Unlikely as it may be.

Lets see, I went over to Lu's on Thanksgiving day, enjoyed juicy turkey, drank wine and received compliments from crazy Italian men. Last night was Rob's 10 year high school reunion. I was doing tequila shots and having so much fun that people started asking me if I went to high school with them--given the partners of the original high schoolers were more likely to stand behind and watch. I had a blast, and the price is heavy today.

Cold, rainy and wet, the weather is. I woke up and went out to lunch with Jay. The warm Japanese ramen soup was just what I needed. Came back to the house and we watched "Beautiful Girls" together. Rob has been gone since morning to meet up with his parents to go to the San Diego Zoo. Hope it's nice and sunny down there instead of the miserable weather we have here.

Perfect weather for watching Beautiful Girls and drinking Blackcurrent tea though. Lovely Natalie Portman. The promise of youthful beauty, the never ending desire and wonderings. As the characters pondered if they were missing out on life and comptemplated on the state of themselves, I was doing the same. This is the end of the year, time to consolidate and take stock.

And of course, do my homework and finish out the semester in two weeks. The zealous Joseph has already emailed me twice about the assignment. Sigh. Why am I in the same group with him? I suppose it can be good.

"Why go into the big fade?" asked Willie C.

Do we have a choice really, Willie? What is the big fade?

You have your fears, and I have mine. But not today.

Today is a day of good movies and nice, warm, hot tea.

Peace out.
