I heard a report this morning on NPR about the growing tension between the US and Venezuela’s leader, Hugo Chavez. This is not news to me because I’ve been following it pretty closely this past year and a half. It’s just sad that it is still going on and I would like to think that the US wouldn’t be involved at all if it wasn’t the fact that Venezuela is the #3 supplier of oil to the US. The tensions have not affected the oil business thus far, but if things don’t get better, we may be paying so much more than the $2.49 for gas that we are paying now. Eek! That scares me. I remember being introduced to this whole situation by the Irish documentary The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. The documentary follows Chavez and his men through the short-lived coup d'état that occurred in April 2002. Please watch it when you can, it’s such a great film.

I had dinner with M, as usual, and we went to Trastevere, an Italian restaurant that she had never been to. The salad was fabulous (which is all she really wants anyway) and the pasta was yummy. Definitely will go back soon. A lot can happen in a week. We had plenty to talk about and I found out that she met a new boy (who sounds like a great match for her) and will see him again soon. I am excited for her. I live vicariously through my single friends sometimes. It’s all about the giddy excitement of meeting someone new. I am perfectly content with my monogamous relationship. I am just excited for her new flame of sorts. She deserves a good guy and I hope that he is one of them. But we will see! She is also branching out and meeting some of my other friends. It’s so nice when that happens because it becomes a smaller circle.
I talked to Michelle today randomly. I haven’t talked to her in a long while. She and I are in the same place in that we want to reconnect with our old friends. So I am happy to see that we are going to hang out more again, even though she lives in Burbank. Yay! I don’t see her enough. I have lost contact with some friends throughout the years, but it’s these random encounters that just make me feel as though I am still doing something right.
SATC quote of the day:
“Your good friend Miranda has just taken a piece of cake out of the garbage and eaten it. You will probably need this information when you check me into the Betty Crocker Clinic.” – Miranda (leaving a message on Carrie’s answering machine) (Season 4 – What’s Sex Got To Do With It?)
