I don't even know

A few weeks ago marked my one year anniversary at my company, and after just now going back through all my blog posts from the last year I am quite confused. Where has the time gone? But it's like... if time is a river, and I'm in a boat on that river, I am just drifting from shore to shore while the tide steadily pushes me forward. I may wish I could debunk on one shore and just stay there for awhile (and sometimes I am lucky to land on the correct shore and vacation there for a bit) but in the end I am back in the boat being ushered along to some unforeseeable destination.

Ok, clearly it is too early on a Monday morning for Homeric-type similes. Let's cover the basics. Work is good; successfully read two manuscripts this weekend and am about to finish a third. Gotta get some basic housecleaning done around the office that I've been putting off for too long. It's really a shame that the Procrastination Demon has clung to me even after school has ended... I think I indulged it too long and now can't seem to throw it off.

Friends and family have come to visit recently and that's always a good time. Excursions included: biking to Brooklyn and up the West Side of Manhattan, eating a looooooot of food in Chinatown, dining on the last vestiges of Restaurant Week (at Butter mmmmm) and visiting the Whitney. More friends are coming to visit this weekend for birthday celebrations (not mine), so that should be crazyfun times as well.

What else. Fall weather means I have finally started cooking for myself again, for realz. Also despite the necessity of (or is it for? Dear God my brain is mush after a year and some months out of school) sweaters, we finally made it to the Astoria beer garden last Saturday and that was quite enjoyable. I also finally made it to McSorley's, where I was pleasantly surprised that we weren't harrassed by the waiters, the beer was quite cheap, and we made friends with our neighbors at the table. (Note: by friends I mean we challenged them to eat 4 Saltines in one minute and it was a HILARIOUS FAILURE).

I will try my darnest not to be so neglectful of this blog but honestly I shouldn't make any promises (blame the Procrastination Demon again). Tally ho!
