Strange nightmares. I remember finding a Euro coin, and some hellars in the pay phone, Jim offering to drive me to Gene's place, and the city being one of those confused mixtures of many places. One of the girls from the play was Gene's sister, and it was very, very odd.

Had a momentary panic that my state job application included an essay section that I completely skipped. I think I'm already having pre-GRE nerves.

but I forgot the liquor

Made much progress on my butterfly, almost all the black stitching is done. A few hours in Metro, playing cards, talking with Sam and James, reading some Dostoevsky, wondering if Gogol Bordello is a band worth seeing (what a name!) and such things. Gene brought me home, and I cooked dinner, cheese & garlic tortellini with alfredo sauce.

I feel weirdly tired, for not doing much today. It was smashingly lovely outside, unusually nice weather. Like fall, the bright blue sky and cool air.

eleven consonants in a row

odctvrtvrstvit
That's a Czech verb, meaning "to remove a quarter of something."
No, I'm not really sure I can pronounce that either.
