concentrate. con cen trate. don't let that orange moon distract you. or that 75 degree air, or the sound of fireworks bellowing in the distance. my brain is having a very hard time relating to that fact that it is October. perhaps if this weather would act more appropriately for its season, i'd have a better time adjusting. also i am having a hard time not spending my favorite month with chris. i love just walking around and finding trees that are fighting to stay green. this is perfect picnic weather and i have just the field behind my building that would do the trick. i want to drink some homebrew or spiced chai and watch horror movies for hours and find an Artie costume and go to a halloween party.i'll have one week after Urinetown to enjoy this so i am gonna make the best of it.

got a letter from my pal erin black from Italia on sunday. it brought tears to my stressed out face and made me feel better.that is amazing. i am so happy she gets to have that kind of experience and who the hell could resist "world travelling nanny" on a resume, right?
