Am I insane
If I prefer to leave the insanity of the LES on a Saturday night and go home to clean my apartment?
Nearly went to see Meg at Marfa, but I really wanted to get the subway home and not fork out/fight for a cab home on this freezing night (sorry Mergy). So now I am drinking coffee and continuing on the purge of my apartment. The Salvation Army better be willing to come collect all this crap, because there is no way I am lugging it anywhere.
Interesting revelation of the night was born in my brain while walking against the icy wind. But I'm not going to talk about it here. Thanks Berthy for being right yet again :)
Breakfast at Tiffany's or Roman Holiday? Difficult choice.

Gigs in 2010
Although nothing is going to top Leonard Cohen at Radio City Music Hall in 2009, there are a few gigs I really want to go to:
1). Muse - MSG March 5th
All seats except those behind the stage are sold out. I'll try CL and Stubhub nearer the date to get better seats I think.
2). Editors - Terminal 5 February 19th
I kind of have a love/hate relationship with this band. I love them because they remind me of my favourite bands, btu I hate them for the same reason. Go figure, I never said I wasn't a paradox.
3). Pearl Jam - Belfast Juen 23rd
I'm going to see Lynn in Ireland that week and it would be AWESOME if we got tickets to see PJ together. And if Eryn could make it too. They sold out in minutes, but I am sure we can find some.
4). BRMC - Webster Hall April 8th
I've seen them lots of times and will never ever get enough of them. I absolutely love this band. And I have a lot of fun memories that I associate with them.
5). Opeth - Terminal 5 April 7th
Just because they are still around, and the first (and last) time I saw them was when they opened for Cradle of Filth in Marseille, in 1995. Seeing as that happens to be FIFTEEN years ago it would be fun to see them.
6). Elefant - Irving Plaza January 16th
Going to go with Meg and Rosie.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! A new decade has begun...
I remember exactly what I was doing 10 years ago. Maud and I dressed in suits and ties, my hair was cut in a short A-line bob, walking around Grenoble with two bottles of wine a-piece in our bags. Singing songs, making a random guy kneel down in front of the Berlioz statue and recite the Lords Prayer to him, crashing parties up and down centre-ville, and finishing the night with pizza at Maud's parents' apartment.
This year was a lot less entertaining, but fun. As in fun on a normal Friday night out I suppose. It just made me a little sad that at the end of the night I ended up walking down the street alone, a little pensive and just feeling worn out. Meg has Jimmy now, Rosie had Noel, a lot of my old friends back in England and France are married with kids... Anyway - enough of that.
By the end of the night I had been called "the sober bitch/sister/person/girl/woman" by 5 different people. Please. I have a name! I don't mind if this comes out of someone I don't know's mouth, but it's really upsetting when it's close friends who say it. I don't call you "bartender dude" or "drunk dude falling asleep at the bar" or "cokefiend girl" or "Indian dude who keeps hitting on me" do I? So why define me by something that I have chosen? It's a little disrespectful and really not funny.
Whether I drink or not is not an issue to me - whether I am happy or not is and I am a LOT happier now than I was this time last year.
I KNOW I shouldn't think these things over so much - but when it happens on a regular basis it just makes me sad.

Past reflections

"I think my new hobby is crying in bars."
Taken out of context that sounds REALLY funny.
Now remind me why I don't read posts from the past anymore?!

Work on vacation...
While on vacation one should not work, correct?
I just can't seem to get away from the stress for even a day, it follows me everywhere. I think there are some things I could have done before my vacation started, but the main word here is COULD. I had not time whatsoever to get everything done - unless of course I had worked through a couple of nights.
Just give me a break - I really can't do everything perfectly, especially not when I have a million things going on at work.
Whine over.
