this has been a busy set of weeks.
i started teaching a few weeks ago. i love it.
robyn and juhl are going to help me get a job teaching at a university.

mern called me a few weeks ago. called once and didn't leave a message. i thought it was a fluke - it was 1am on a weeknight. she called again the following weekend. so she was in idaho for her show and thought of me and wanted me to call her. so i emailed her, asking when i should call. nothing. i called her the following week and left a message. nothing.

kelly is town this until wednesday. i've only seen her twice. tech for her show isn't going a smoothly as desired, but that's the theatre. seattle rep, even with money, is no exception.

dennis comes back next week (i think). kelly conway should be here tomorrow, but i haven't heard from him. fucker.

most of last week was very socially active.

monday, i went to elizabeth's for Monday Night Dinner. The last few weeks have been fantastic - lots of people and amazing food. great conversation and lots of laughter.

tuesday, i had dinner with kelly. she prepared enchilladas and made a salad. afterwards, we went to larry's and split a ben & jerry's pint of mint cookies & cream (or whatever they call it). hanging out with her is great - comfortable and without any pressure. it seems like she's really herself around me and i appreciate it.

wednesday was teaching. my group now knows over half of walking!

thursday, i hosted my first dinner party here. well, it was my monthly dinner with dave, amanda and liz. DAWG brought salad & corn on the cob. liz made apple crisp (a la mode). i made west african peanut soup. this soup is a more sweet potato than peanut, but it was fucking good, nonetheless. liz and i decided to go to a pumpkin patch soon, drive around and see the deciduous trees turn color and find a hayride. she misses her new engand fall.

friday, i went to dragonfish for happy hour with melissa and some guy melissa knows. he's a little weird, but whatever. happy hour ended at six (on a friday???), so we went to bonzai in pioneer square. unfortunately, their happy hour ended at 6:30pm. ish. i had two mac & jack's and a tempura seattle roll. damnit, but i love tempura-ed rolls. sushi + fried goodness = happy rlo

today was quiet. slept until 9am. i've had terrible sleep for the last two weeks - waking up around 2am and 5am again. dunno why. talked to darla - rita was supposed to go right over my parent's place, but changed course. darla said it wasn't even raining in tyler, just windy.
