The Two Phils


Tuesday: Woke around 9:30 as MB was heading out to do some dance practice. Felt pretty bad, like something I'd eaten wasn't agreeing with me. Went back to bed, and slept for a good bit longer. Around 1 I got up feeling quite a bit better, and having had some quite enjoyable Ninja dreams. The Oud sold on Ebay. Spoke with the winner of the auction. Called MB's cell and arranged to meet her at Third Life at 2 PM. Shower. Cats. Made the bed. Very brief down basement. Arrived in Union Square at 2:03.

Had a look around Third Life, getting the lay of the land, then we headed back home. Breakfast. We did some house cleaning. I sorted through mail. Walked two doors down and handed off a piece that had been misdirected. The guy seemed surprised. Played some guitar. Down basement around 4.

A bit after 5. F&M came over bringing their two African Millipedes. Hanging around. Cleaning out the fridge in a episodic feast of sorts (tempeh stir-fry, mini-pizza, Chinese food) MB made a squash/peach pie. F and I went out in the backyard and played badminton. First time I'd used the set, given to MB and me as a wedding present by my cousin G. F and I got sweaty knocking the birdie (made with actual feathers) back and forth. We hit it over the fence twice and had to retrieve it by walking all the way around the block.

It started getting dark, so we went back inside. I gave him my "I'm with the belly-dancer" shirt to borrow. Quick shower. More hanging out, finding ridiculous videos on the net.

After they left, gave MB a hand with some audio recordings she had made. Spent some time going through her audio collection on the iMac. The sound of fireworks was heard. She's gone to bed. Soon down basement.
