got home a earlier than usual last night* and i sat on the stoop and ate a slice of pizza and read the nytimes in the fading evening light. In the dusk, I heard a series of pops and played the game i always play, "gunshots or fireworks", and given that it was 7pm on a weeknight, I chose "fireworks" but I'm usually wrong and it was gunshots after all. I knew within a few minutes when the sirens started. This morning I checked the paper, and sure enough there was some kind of car chase with guns right along the block i'd biked down not 20 minutes earlier. And then a few blocks in another direction, a couple got held up at 11pm walking out of a bar, and then a few blocks in the other direction a couple of teenagers got shot an hour later. So it's getting warmer and everyone's coming back out of their houses, i guess. The worst.

i was fairly zonked all morning and I was complaining by skype to e about how awful i felt, and she said, 'oh yeah, me too... i was out at a gala super late and i had a couple glasses of wine and a beer, and a super strong G&T and a few cigarettes, and now i feel horrible. What did you get up to last night?" and i had to admit I am living the opposite of her life: I nursed a manhattan and worked on some analyses til after midnight and then this morning there was some kind of mixup and i got a call at 5:30 am for a therapy appointment because the woman i talk to always messes up the timezone calculations**. I'm pretty sure my allergy meds have some kind of speed in them, so maybe that counts as some kind of party?
*sigh*
*it's almost 10pm and i'm still at work
**(it's one hour. i don't know why it's always so hard).
