Time blurs
Yikes. So it's been nearly a week since I last posted. Some highlights of the days since then:
Scissor Sisters concert. Oh. My. God. They are incredible. Think Elton John, the Bee Gees, disco and electronica, and a whole lotta attitude mixed together. Add that they put on a great show. I'm glad my friend took me along, as I hadn't heard of them until he mentioned it.
Cuban salsa. Another friend and I went to a new club that had a band playing Cuban salsa music. Cuban salsa music is my favorite style of salsa music. Some of it is just a bit slower tempo, and it's so, so very much sexier. Mmmmm. Alas, there weren't that many leads (or follows) at the club that actually knew how to salsa, so we went to another club. Before we left, though, I did get a dance in with a lovely fellow that I asked out several months ago (he had a girlfriend. Alas.). I haven't seen him in 5-6 months, and he said he hasn't been taking classes in that time, nor has he been dancing. Shame on him. It was lovely to dance with him again, though. Mmmmm.
TV. Oh wait, that's a lowlight. Erk.
My going away party. Ah yes, this was a lot of fun. A number of people showed up, and a number of people didn't. Unfortunately, several people I know were out of town last weekend. However, when you organize a party and invite 30-some people, this is inevitable. On the very plus side, a friend I haven't seen in about a year made it, and we're also going for lunch this week. I drank a great deal of wine (at least, by my standards, as I don't drink very much), and miraculously, remained standing all evening. Add that to a lack of hangover this morning, and that makes the party just that much better. My roommate did an incredible job of providing a wealth of delicious nibbles and took care of the tidying up. This was her going away gift for me, and I love her even more for it. And the cats love the Boar's Head turkey, and love us even more for sharing it with them.
Just under two weeks to go. Most of the items on my pre-trip to do list are completed. I just need to do a trial packing, decide if I'm taking my laptop, and then handle some banking and voting needs.
Two weeks from Wednesday will find me in sunny Argentina. I hatched this idea of a year off about 18 months ago. The original idea was to hitchhike on sailboats. My sailing education is pretty limited, and this idea was pushed to the side. I'd still like to do some sailing, though, and I will pursue that as a sideline. I truly love sailing and it feels like a very natural thing for me -- sort of like when you meet someone, realize they complement you as well as is possible, and then start falling in love because being together feels so perfect and natural.
