1. I booked my own hotel room for the first time ever today, for my first business trip ever, in two months. My business cards should be here on Friday. I'm getting proportionally more legit by the nanosecond, it is ca-raaaaazy.
2. Opened up an ESCROW account and deposited next month's rent into it. This is one war our landlords will not win, by cracky. ("By cracky" is a phrase my dad uses all the time. I am not sure how to spell it).
3. Started my second Kenzaburo Oe novel for fiction. It promises to be as good if not better than A Personal Matter.
4. Looks like I'm finally gonna finish up this monster of a manuscript that's been weighing heavily on my mind (and desk) for way too long.
5. Considered taking the Foreign Service Exam.
6. Bummed a cigarette from a dude on the street whose build and polite manner immediately reminded me of James somehow, even all these years later. He was really, really happy to give me one, said something like, "Oh, of course!"
7. A few minutes later, when I refused a flier from a Penn student, he jokingly got offended and kept yelling, "That's IT?! 'NO THANK YOU?!' That's aaaaaalllll?" until I said, "yep, that's it" and walked away. Strange interaction.
8. Becks confirmed for Halloween! NYC it is. I'll be dressed as Carmen San Diego, and hijinx shall ensue.
9. The new Assistant to the Director is a friend of a friend who strikes me as pretty down-to-earth and personable.
10. END OF THE DAY RAMONES DANCE PARTY BLITZ.
11. An author told me, "your patience is legendary." My tolerance for his shenanigans certainly is.
12. Tomorrow is International Haircut Day (for me).
