friend beth came to visit last thursday and left today. we ate at the hole in the wall, made pelmeni and had vodka with friend marc, and went to a new year's eve party in austin on saturday. the party is a story in itself, which i was tempted to vividly depict on this blog. but i have since thought better of that idea, deciding instead to mention three carefully chosen details from the evening's revels:
1. a half-drunken psychic healer cleansed my pineal gland by sucking on my forehead while we were stopped at a red light (she was driving);
2. near the river, i walked through a big, long hallway of scaffolding which had many long strands of white twine hanging down and was dreamy and seaweed-like in the evening breeze;
3. at some point during the spectacular show of fireworks, i made a conscious effort to look around at people's faces, lit up in joy and wonderment.
beth and i also ate sushi, laughed, played with the cat, smoked cigarettes on the back porch, and saw brokeback mountain-- a tender, terribly sad movie.
going back to school has been slightly hard, but only because of the physical change of getting into the groove again. classes themselves have been fine, and i actually do feel refreshed after the holiday.
i went to barnes and noble and ordered mugison's mugimamma! is this monkey music?. i had downloaded it and paid ten bucks, then accidentally erased it from my iTunes. i'm looking forward to hearing it again, and having the packaging to look at.
