Martini Thursday

Back in Iowa, we had Martini Monday, it had a much nicer ring to it, and it was cheaper. But here I am in Pittsburgh, and up the road is a local restaurant with Martini Thursday. And honestly, knowing it's coming is what gets me through the long boring week to the weekend. Pathetic, I know, but there it is.

So, tonight, for the third week in a row, Kate and I will sit in the bar and drink martinis. Only this week, we'll attempt to make friends with the bartender. There aren't enough B-people in our lives right now, but we'll try to take care of that.

I Give The Globe Another Spin

I had time to kill
One day in Alaska
I walked around until
I found the arts and crafts shop
I bought you a card
I don't know where to send it
I wrote it from the heart
I'm not sure how to end it

I'm wondering where you've been
And if I'll see you again
I give the globe another spin
All this time I'm wonderin'
Give the globe another spin
Are you in....Berlin?
(Another Spin - Barenaked Ladies)

Whenever my friends talk to me on myspace or facebook, the first thing they often ask is, "Where are you?"

Well, right now, I'm in Pittsburgh. Before this, I was in New York City, and upstate New York, and Wisconsin, and Iowa, and before that, Japan. And next week, I might be in New York City again, for all I know.

Leaving Japan was the first time in my life when I didn't know what came next. I still don't. So I'm here, at a friend's apartment, we'll call her Kate, for all future reference. She's letting me stay with her because I help with the dog while she's gone and I'm pretty fun to be around too. In all honesty, I'm pretty sure she's the only person in the world that thinks I'm funny.

Anyway, hello out there world.
