Lately I’ve had future plans cycling through my head, repeating and amplifying. I enjoy one of my jobs very much, but it’s pretty obvious that librarianship is going to be a tough way to make a living in Buffalo right now (jobs are few and far between). I have been reading a lot about becoming a landlord. I would really love to buy one of the gorgeous old houses in Buffalo; Sara and I would live in half and tenants would live in the other half, we would remodel along the way. Working with Danny in Fredonia really helped out with my understanding of what it takes to get that done; there’s still a lot to learn. That seems exciting. Every book I see at work about planning a garden, or interesting tile patterns for flooring, I pick up and read. It’s strange, but more and more I just crave the satisfaction of building something. There’s really nothing quite like it. Plus, I think I would be an awesome landlord. It’s time to start researching grants and tax incentives. Come live in my house—I will build you a little greenhouse.

Robots (Building Robots)—K9 Carryout’s Bac’n Beats.
Feeling a bit nostalgic right now, I haven’t listened to this in ages. Featuring Brian Lange busting up some pretty excellent rhymes, and my shrill Mc Chris vocals not rhyming at all. Dang.
Circa 2006.

I’m really enjoying the feel of this season. For one—as a small miracle/gift—I did not get my yearly sinus infection. Bam! A lot has changed in my life since I saw CocoRosie at the end of summer 2010. My goodness. A lot. Things are fantastic. Things need work but they are fantastic. I don’t go online very much, and when I do it is mostly to check my work email and to take a glance at my friends’ Tumblrs to see what is new. Hope everything is going well.
I always thought my parents had gotten something wrong by only having a handful of friends they got together with, but it’s becoming more apparent to me that it’s extremely difficult to maintain a lot of close relationships when your life gets busy. I’m very grateful for the people in my life. I’m adapting a more push forward kind of attitude about things, if that makes any sense. All of those things that kept me wrapped up in thinking constantly about unproductive things—unproductive for my mental health, I mean—I am leaving behind. It’s sad, but yes, some of these things were/are friendships. I’ve maintained friendships in the past that were extremely unhealthy for me. I stopped smoking (for good) a year ago. I rarely drink, and when I do it is only a little. My work schedule doesn’t let me go to yoga as often as last year, but I go when I can. I read more cookbooks than facebook status updates; it’s a good feeling.
