It's been a week full of communications snafus, sudden deadlines -- and the late nights working that come as a result. *Sigh* I'd like to spend the weekend lazing around on my ass, but I already committed to a potluck dinner/discussion group tonight (there will be wine, so that might help), a class on the Frankfurt School tomorrow morning with some very earnest people whom I can't resist debating, a business meeting tomorrow afternoon (I got myself roped into getting involved with yet another startup, hahahaha -- I am such a sucker for punishment), and then scrambling to do errands/laundry/etc. tomorrow night.

Next week, if anything, will be worse. Major deadlines on Wednesday and Friday pretty much guarantee working til midnight several times (or maybe even an all-nighter). I should start brewing the coffee now.

So at 4:45 this morning, I was awakened by the ground jerking my building around rather rudely. Turns out it was a 4.2 earthquake -- not so big in the scheme of things, but big enough to set my heart racing as I lay in bed wondering how long it was going to last! I think it also felt especially strong because I was pretty close to the epicenter. Wheeee!

I need to remember to buy a few more gallons of water for my emergency supplies.

My sweetie managed to score free tickets from a radio station to a performance tonight at a local jazz club! I just looked up the regular ticket price, and they sell for $22 per person...so, not bad at all for the two of us!

We've done pretty well with the whole radio station giveaway thing recently -- a hiphop show a few months back, and a comedy club a few weeks ago. It's going to be a drag having to pay for things once our luck runs out (as it will, of course). But for now, I'm looking forward to a pretty enjoyable evening.
