I just noticed that all I’ve been posting lately are posters I’ve made. Well, here’s another one:
Recovering from birthday week. Saw some great bands: Built to Spill and Murder by Death over the course of the week. Went to the Guggenheim museum in NYC for the first time in my life. Got to spend some time with friends and family, which is really I wanted to do.
I’ve also been unemployed for about a month, now. While it’s been uneventful, I’ve been getting a lot of things done that I normally didn’t find time to do. I’m not bored out of my skull, yet. I have to admit I enjoy the time off but don’t enjoy the financial burdens. For example, I had to miss out on the wedding of my dear friend Charlie, something that I was excited to attend, but once I found out I didn’t have a job, I had to decline because I had to worry about being able to pay rent. I don’t like having to think over every little thing I spend, but at the same time there are things to occupy one’s mind that don’t cost anything.
Oh, and did I mention I went to go see a taping of Maury? I will spare you the details, other than it was EPIC in the way only Maury can be.
October has been splendid. It’s a great month of reflection for me, but this is one of the happiest Octobers I’ve seen in a very long while (despite being poor!). Our apartment is very festive. Very cozy. I’ve been able to participate in all the things I love about the fall: apple picking, pie baking, decorating for the season, wearing sweaters, walks outdoors in the crisp air, leaf gazing, pumpkin picking, planning a costume for Halloween, celebrating my birthday. I won’t be sad when winter comes, but I won’t be able to let go of the autumn so easily.
