Random Wednesday thoughts while....
The need for quarters renders a dryer that much less efficient.
I wanted the Sabres to play the Senators so I could get a few more days off from double duty.
I had to sit in on a teleconference call today and the only thing I got out of it was a nice Fat Bob's lunch ( and pulled pork leftovers for dinner yum )
I was the only person to acknowledge that the panel of the teleconference was a collection of blowhards teaching us remedial marketing.
My boss wanted to say that but couldn't
At ethecarey's indirect suggestion, I took a glass of wine out onto my porch last night and stargazed for the duration of my wine glass. Both the westerly sky and the pinot noir were nice toppers to the night. I'm not sleeping real well, but a little star seeking is a nice relaxer. There was a certain tranquility if you could avoid looking east at Timon Towers -- One building I don't need to see shadows on the shades.
Happy Birthday Jenks (in case I can't get to the pc on Friday night)

Weekend wasn't a total loss.
I couldn't help but be impressed. He had more focus at 8 than I think I have now. I was able to savor an unexpected ticket to the Goo Goo Dolls show that much more.
In other news, I think I have to add Cobblestone to the list of places drink worthy. I dunno if it was the sunshine, the need to feed my ego a
cold one, but there was something restoritive about having a couple beers after the festivites at the arena.
No shame in getting shot down, I would have hated myself for not trying.
In other news, my boss ( a lovely woman) is having breakfast with her soon to be boss after Adelphia gets peddled at the end of July. I have reason to believe that I might come up in conversation. Apparently they like my ad work.
Here's hoping......

A CD binge
My cd changer is once again a very schizophrenic device, yet happily so. Nothing like some fresh tunes to assist your outlook.

Carpe Diem
This was somebody who I thought we were getting along with through our mutual work at the Sabres games. She sort of hinted that I should join her for drinks at some point. During a promotion that I was working on for the premiere of the Sopranos, I had to sport a Sopranos Hockey jersey. She saw this and wanted one. Me, being a sucker for bright eyes and a killer smile, found one out and she gave me a clench worthy of "the war is over" Life magazine covers which did wonders for my self esteem. Being accosted in front of any number of prying eyes is funny like that. She followed up with a thank you card with some lottery tickets inside. One was a winner for $20.00. I called her up to say thanks and stumbled through an invite to come drink the winnings at cobblestone.
So far, no response. Do I call again? or is that too much like creepy stalker guy? If it's a polite, no thanks, I can take it. My ego has withstood similar assaults and here I stand.
Like George Carlin says, you got to "take a fucking chance."
Just wished I had something to show for it.

It snowed.....
The Sabres game was fun last night. They won big and at the rate goals were being scored, joviality was the order of the day. Hug and High fives were being exchanged, you'd thought the war was over. I strolled down to Cobblestone after the game & work and had a quiet postgame beer. I was on my own, but it was fun to people watch after a common goal (a win) was reached. Nothing but love in the room.
A late night and an early morning leaves me glad to sit. My fandom keeps you going, but my 42 years want to pay for it the next day.
I heard one of my own voiceovers for the first time last night on MSG -- a commercial for showtime. It's stupid to get excited about it, but it is an ego trip nonetheless.
Gonna veg in front of "scrubs" and "sopranos"
Have a good evening ya'all.
Off to Dinner at Cecelia's with people and everything
"Glee!"

Arena pics
And then the paying customers showed
If you're not a hockey fan, it was kind of cool to feel the building alive. A shared sense of excitment was definitely present, even if it left me drinking alone.
