Trip to NYC, and back

Monday: Woke to the phone ringing. Sleep. Up and a bowl of yogurt. Shower, fed Oscar, down basement, drums.

Stopped at the video store, dropping off and picking up. The nearby donut shop for an egg sandwich. In to work the long way around.

There, the wi-fi hard-drive came in, as did a package from MB. Bug swatting. Took a walk out, pharmacy, bank, and the burrito shop. Found that our support for the multi-file format had been a bit busted for some time. Home around 10:30.

Cleaned out the closet on the first floor. Quite a bit of accumulated detritus. Installed 10.5 on the iMac upstairs, and played with the wi-fi disk. Down basement, and neck stretching. Treadmill with the end of the Lost season 2 finale. Now to complete the day.

Sunday: Lazy and enjoyable morning with Ann. Made a yummy breakfast of eggs, mushroom, plus some very good blintzes with sauteed pear slices. Headed off to the bus together around 1:15, taking the subway across town. The first bus at 2 was full, but I got a seat on the second bus. Pleasant ride back to Boston. Subway. Picked up car, pizza. Back home, quick food. Off to circle.

Victor, Alex, Chris, Dev and myself. Working towards the recording project. Good work on Flying Home and Askesis.

Back at the ranch, evening practices, watched the end of Tideland. And to bed.

Saturday: Gave Ann a present. She headed out for her appointment. Bowl of yogurt and some cereal. I needed some extra sleep. Up around noon and morning practices. Took the subway and met Ann, then down to the village for some fresh juice. Met the Juice Master. Then over to the restaurant we'd tried to go to the previous evening (Angelina's). I had a seitan and veggie burrito. Bumming around the city a bit, then back to the apartment. Nap. A quiet evening, making some "Asian patties" with salad, cheese and toast.

Friday: Up, packing (decided to just take a backpack and the mini guitar), loading some movies onto the phone. Down basement. Breakfast. Tidied up the desk. Headed out.

Brief day at work, but managed to complete the list of bugs on my plate assigned as "pre beta." Over to the bus depot via subway, and made the 4pm to NYC. Watching video and taking notes most of the way, then watched a bit of Tideland. Arrived around 8:30, which is not bad for peak hours on a Friday. Ann showed up shortly thereafter. Tried to go to Angelina's for dinner, but it was too crowded. Went to an Indian restaurant as "plan b." Yum. Some grocery shopping, then to the apartment, and completing the day.
