So I worked three days this week and I’m off today. It’s been boring, I’ve just been kind of sitting outside on the second-floor balcony drinking soda and nodding out. I thought about going for a drive, but it’s such a nice day I’d be cramped inside my car instead of outside enveloped in warmth, surrounded by wasps that have nested under the furniture on the balcony.
I’ve been enjoying the sunset these past few evenings. Sure the Art Park used to be a missile base and I’ve heard rumors that residents in that area of town are more likely to develop cancer, but it grants us such a perfect view of the sun setting behind the horizon!
Last night I met Ilya and Z at the base where they were hanging out with some high school kids. When the sun was gone we three headed off to Jersey City to party. After some shenanigans at Ilya’s apartment we went to a local bar where the guy from Iris Records was spinning soul records. We met up with Amy and Eva for a few minutes. They drank, I didn’t. I’m trying to save money for the trip. I did have a corn muffin and a soda, though!
Speaking of which, I need to get a lot of things done before I leave Saturday morning, and there’s a wedding that’s taking up the bulk of tomorrow so I think tonight I might stay in and finish my final preparations for the trip.
