This Week and Next

More lists, because they're so fun.

This week:

• No more Old Job. Started New Library Job. This one is so much more fun.
• Two work-free days in the middle of the week. Beautiful.
• Visited the Museum of Biblical Art for a Marc Chagall exhibit. (Chagall=everything I love)
• Had a chai latte at a Greenwich Village coffee house. Wrote in journal. Compared myself to those otherworldly stylish people who sat around me. Finished tea, put on dowdy winter hat, returned home. (Didn't feel jealous. Just different.)
• Cooked up a storm with all my winter break free time. Applesauce, potato soup, eggplant parmesan, yogurt smoothies, barbeque sandwiches, brussel sprouts... all in one giant pot. Kidding.
• Cleaned nasty bathtub, did four loads of laundry, hand washed sweaters that had been festering for months at the bottom of the laundry basket.
• Read like a demon.
• Got hooked on Weeds.

Next week:

• Will drive down to Washington, DC for the craziest, most ridiculous inauguration of all time.
• Will hang out with my fellow ticketless riff raff on the National Mall.
• Will not see Barack Obama in the flesh. Of this I have NO illusions.
• Will see some kickin' friends.
• Will miss my first class of the new semester. Some things are bigger than class.
  
• Will attend my second day of class.
• Will start that whole homework thing again... sigh.
• Will rage just a bit more against the dying of the free time light, with a little help from Ethan Hawke.
