– Relaxing night in. We watched The 39 Steps, which seemed like a dress rehearsal for North by Northwest, and is probably as close as Hitchcock ever came to making a romantic comedy.

What could be eating the leaves on my nasturtiums at night?
– Yesterday, I had some time to kill between work and meeting friends at eight, so I went to Greeley Square and got some reading done. It was nice – strange weather, but in a good way. Cloudy and windy with flecks of rain every now and then, but there were floodlights shining down from the roof of the Manhattan Mall, and it had a weird, ghostly effect.
… Read the rest– Got a lot done yesterday, including recording two chapters of Hungry Rats. Also, Jess and I ate Indian food and watched the last episode of Rome. Which makes me sad. No more Rome. Ever again. (Not that I can blame them.
… Read the rest– On Friday, I continued last week’s trend of not getting anything accomplished, but I did go to the Lit release party that night, where I discovered that Reinhardt is in town visiting. I hung out with Lizzie, Emily, Yvonne, Mac, and Meredith.
… Read the rest– It’s just a crappy week, that’s all. But last night the wife and I ate gnocchi and watched Rome, so that was nice.

– I went to visit Marco and Scott, then Jess and I walked home.

– PICTURE OF THE WEEK –
Cute Overload: Teeny Tiny Cake.
– Quite a week.
On Friday, I worked (writing) and cleaned all day, and that evening Cody and Catherine. They were tired, but we’d already promised Marco and Scott we’d hang out with them and their friend Amanda before she left town.
– Ditto yesterday. Saw Rome.

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –
What smells good?
– Last night I watched Strictly Ballroom for wisdom and Gothic Funk, and exercised, and got a lot done. Although I’ve only been getting six hours of sleep a night since we got back, I’m still not finishing everything that I want to.
… Read the rest– Yesterday, the wife and I hung out with Marco and Scott after work.
