Whew, made it through that alive. I mean, I knew I would, but still. 363 more days till the next one, which I am sure will be better than this one. I\u2019m just going to say that right now, I\u2019m sure of it. Just putting it out there, so that fate and destiny and all of that has time to line things up to ensure the happiness quotient for my VD 2006. A big box of fine chocolates, a plethora of roses, and lots and lots of deep love, that\u2019s all I ask for. Thank you. The chocolates and roses are optional.<\/p>\n
Today I\u2019ve had an overabundance of emotions. Pretty much all the emotions a person could have, I\u2019ve experienced. Compactly, all in one day. No need to spread them out over any length of time, just get them over with on Tuesday. I feel that tomorrow I\u2019ll be filled with equanimity, just because I used up all the emotions today.<\/p>\n
Right now, though, I\u2019m feeling pretty mellow. What a beautiful, glorious day it was \u2013 60\u00b0, I believe, and sunny. I ran around Washington Park, not once but twice. Four and a half miles, said Jim. Wowie. I\u2019m mellow because I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019ll sleep well tonight. Lots of hills in Washington park. There weren\u2019t too many people there, because I ran at about 1:30 in the afternoon, and most people were busy working. I did encounter people walking their very nice doggies, which sort of made me want a dog of my own. But on the other hand, a dog seems like a whole lot of responsibility, which I\u2019m generally opposed to, plus I don\u2019t want to have to pick up a dog\u2019s poop. <\/p>\n
Tonight I went to the relatively new Thai restaurant, the Banana Leaf, and it was OK. Nothing to write home about. I suddenly, desperately, wanted to go to the Gateway of India, but it\u2019s closed on Tuesdays. I don\u2019t know when I\u2019m going to have the opportunity to go there. It\u2019s not so good for you; I\u2019m pretty sure most things are cooked in a large amount of butter, but it\u2019s delicious. <\/p>\n
I also really, really want to go to this Indian restaurant in New York city. It\u2019s called Dawat, it\u2019s on the upper east side, and it\u2019s owned by Madhur Jaffey. Jaffrey? She wrote the Indian cookbooks that I use, and the restaurant is divine. I was only there once, with Christine and her old boyfriend Hunter (see yesterday\u2019s reference about being jaded). Christine and Hunter fought through most of the meal, as I recall, but I didn\u2019t care in the slightest. I was in heaven, eating the marvelous food. I wish I had a trip to New York planned for the near future. Eventually, I\u2019ll get back there. Maybe when the weather is warmer.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s something funny about my friend Gil, who went to India one time. He\u2019s a grade school principal, and I think it was some kind of principal program or something. He hates Indian food, and he said the food was horrible there, way too hot and bad. I think it would be exciting to go to India and have the real McCoy, but he felt differently. He said he went to the Gateway of India a while back, even though he\u2019d hated it before. And he hated it again. I asked him why he\u2019d gone back if he hated it the first time, and he said, \u201cI thought maybe it would have changed.\u201d<\/p>\n
That made me laugh pretty hard. Gil isn\u2019t a very adventurous eater, but that\u2019s the only bad quality I\u2019ve found in him. And it\u2019s not really so much a bad quality, it\u2019s more an idiosyncrasy. He\u2019s certainly a great ballet teacher. Taught me everything I know.<\/p>\n
One more weekend of the play. I\u2019ll miss it. I\u2019m thinking about auditioning for another one. And when am I going to start working on \u201cGracetalk 3?\u201d And I\u2019ve decided I want to write a play. Busy busy busy. I must sleep now, so I\u2019ll be well-rested for the many upcoming activities.<\/p>\n
Ok then,<\/p>\n
