Seven times five

[pseydtonne]

It's my birthday. I have turned 35. I'm taking the day off and driving to Binghamton. I will be doing radio as part of a marathon.

I have been working way too much. I worked fourteen hours -- arrived at 11:15 a.m., left at 1:45 a.m. and only paused about half an hour. I tried working from home yesterday and pulled about 13 hours.

I have never worked so hard in my life. I've done harder physical labor, such as stocking paint for a whole day. (Hint: five gallons of paint feels like it weighs as much as the house it'll go on.)

I am recovering from a cold and pink eye. Yes, conjunctivitis. The nurse called me back and said "I'm looking for the father of Dante..."

"No, I'm the 34-year-old with the pink eye."

I need to sleep. Then I'm going to drive.

If I haven't said this enough, lemme try again: I need to be socialized and rehumanized. If you can think of options for next weekend, please let me know.

Oh, and I forgot to tell fangirl715 to save me a zeppole and I'll pay her back. It's Saint Joseph's Day, you know.

It's also the last day of winter. When you hit my birthday, we've made it. Saturday at 1:32 PM EDT we'll be officially done with a weird winter.

The swallows are coming back to Capistrano. I imagine they swing through next-door San Clemente to poop on Nixon's grave.

Happy birthday. I hope it's a really, really good year for you, full of music, rehumanization, revelation and good people.

Welcome to 35-dom :P Have a great weekend and perhaps see you soonish!

Next weekend as in March 27? Or tomorrow? (That annoying English ambiguity; is it regionalized? It's confused people in NYC/NJ and Boston for years...)

There's Penny Arcade eXpo East at the Hynes on final weekend this month, a big gamer con including 8-bit concerts and the like. I'm no longer a gamer, but I'm tentatively planning to go there to pimp Netrek a bit. Memberships are sold out, but I scored one off Craigslist without too much hassle.

Happy Birthday! 35 is a great number. :)

I hope this year is slammingly awesome, and this weekend is both restful and rejuvenating.

Sorry I didn't get you a zeppole, but it would have gone soggy & icky by the time you got back...anyway, Happy Birthday! When would you like your red velvet cake, and when do you want to get together? I could use some socialization myself while dealing w/the Merry Meds o'the Month Club...

Happy Birthday!!! With regard to socialization over the weekend, will you be back in Boston, or will you still be in Binghamton? I am going to a party tomorrow night and you are certainly welcome to join me. I will be at a blues jam at Johnny D's on Sunday (starts at 4:30pm, goes to 8pm), might skip out the last half hour of that to go to a contra dance. You are welcome to join me for any or all of it.

Oh right, *next* weekend. My bad.
