The packrat thing has hit a wall. I am just about at the end of my sanity with the clutter in this apartment and in my to-do list. Between packing orders for Planet Patchwork, dubbing and shipping tapes for Stomp Tokyo, trying to sell my crap on half.com, trying to get our B-Fest diary up, writing a review for Stomp Tokyo, holding down a day job, and finishing up our book, there are just too many details to deal with. I swear to St. Peter, if I still feel like this in the morning I'm scrapping half of these projects.
Simplify.
The half.com items are coming down, and the tapes are either going away in one big auction or I'm dumping them on the "gimme" table at work. The B-Fest diary may get tabled for a few weeks. I need to get the edits done on the book so I can move on to the next stage of its production – get some galleys printed and get this sucker out for review. Screw shipping out copies of The Indian Superman and The Star Wars Holiday Special, I've got better things to do. Bigger fish to fry.
You're damn right.
Cooking? Went to Red Mesa, a nouveau-Mexican type place, for Jyotika's birthday. Jyotika is a super-cool friend who seems to know someone everywhere she goes. We ran into some people at the restaurant who knew her. Jyotika's world is especially small, but don't place any silly bets on the fact that she'll know someone at a particular party. Jyotika is also a member of our video night group. I've never really had a good meal at Red Mesa before tonight, but the menu has changed since I was last there 4 or 5 years ago. We had a decent meal, and a decent waiter, even if the bill was a bit hefty.
Just one more night of cooking this week – we depart for Orlando on Thursday night as a stopover before driving to Hilton Head for the weekend – and I still don't know what I'm going to do with that vat of cheese sauce.
