I've been on a Paul's Boutique kick. Lovely album. I think that I have learned to appreciate it more throughout the years. I still don't have my original copy...I only have a burned one. I think Roni still has it; at least I think she does. I did let her borrow it 7 years ago and never got it back. Heh, I don't care about it though, I just think it's funny. I think that they will always be my favorite band. Dig it.

So I had a lot of fun last night. I drank some good wine before dinner. Angela bought some Spanish wine for the occasion. Though I do not like red wines that much, I was able to drink quite a bit. That, along with the house Chianti at the restaurant, made dinner more fun. I was going to have fun regardless, but it made dinner seem too short. I had to make my rounds and I apologize if I was not able to talk to everyone longer. I am just happy that people came and hopefully had fun.

It was a beautiful day today. I actually had time to sit in the sunshine and write a bit during lunch. It was nice to see people walk by the Farmer's Market while I sip on some warm coffee. It reminded me of college. I use to study and people watch there all of the time. I miss having afternoons off to "study" or whatever. But I guess it allows me to enjoy days like this even more.

I am excited to see that they finally published the unabridged version of "Ariel" by Sylvia Plath. I must get it soon.

I talked to an old, old friend today (Jeff). It was nice and I am glad that he is doing well. He is in Boston and is almost done with law school. I can't believe it! We've known each other for 10 years! We sat near each other when we graduated high school and sat right next to each other when we graduated UCLA. He's such a solid guy and I am so so happy that he is doing fabulously.

I am saddened to hear about Dimebag. R.I.P. Dimebag. Such a big loss. So unnecessary. This gives me another reason to hate Ohio. I remember listening to them ages ago. It was like I was a completely different person then. So young and willing to do anything that was rebellious or alternative.

My mind is everywhere today. It feels like I can't focus.
