At about 6:30 is when I went and shut it down for real. Tomblike silence prevailed in 15 minutes. I should disclaim that these aren't my actual roommates, but friends of a roommate and his girlfriend. Corbin asked me yesterday if I was going to be leaving when my lease is up. Now, I love my room, it's large and wonderfully spacious. I have room for my piano and a porch and a fabulous bathroom and walk-in closet and my own porch. But this house a) is constantly messy and b) a place for the parties. I like the parties, but I don't want to live in one I think. Sisters like me need their quiet places quiet.
So who knows. I tell you what, though. I do not feel like headin to the Glenn today. Well. Just typing the Glenn kind of makes me change my mind. And I do like walking there. And I do positively adore the workmates. And having dinner with them, all together, at 4:30 each and everyday. Chef Greg all irritable and over-authoritative tells us about the menu while I stare at his right hoop earring the whole time. Some rugged face woman eats out of the garbage can to my right. The Czech twins freak out about the low amount of reservations. Keyatta makes me a mint lemonade or I have some coffee. Several awkward conversations follow between me, Brown Mike, Danny and MBK the Server Assistant. Cute James the manager comes over a few times, that's always nice.
I just love that we're in a hotel I think. A really old factory building built in the 20s renovated and done up all sexy and grown but classy and fun with a projector that plays old Charlie Chaplin reels and a ready supply of Dum-Dums at the front desk. ( I mean, I have never...) And clueless tourists and a crazy delicious bar and a free and beautiful rooftop bar with the most perfect view of the city you ever did see. I mean, I like it, that's all.
I guess I'm studying tomorrow after church before I hit up that crazy place at 4 again. Then Organic Chemistry lab starts Monday morning.
For now, I'll part with this: http://bit.ly/yxhV3. I remembered this morning that I haven't seen this in too long.
