indulgent chronicles
monday:
***worked lunch at the restaurant and end up bartending because our bartender got sick and went home. i remember wishing i could bartend back when i was younger, because bartenders aren't intimidated by anything. they have an air of authority that everyone respects, and i wanted that. i suppose bartending has been a help to me in developing this quality.
***prepared a polish dinner with friends. it was so hot and we were laboring so hard (picture me kneading dough on my kitchen countertop) that i broke an all-out sweat. the only time you'd hear me say i'm feeling like a farmwife and loving every mintue of it. the perogies were my favorite part...with wild blueberries tucked inside!
tuesday:
***won $20 while at a training for work. what for, you ask? for correctly identifying the movie soundtrack from 'napolean dynamite.'
***began the 'spring cleaning' my roommate and i are undertaking, having just signed a new year-long lease.
***met with documentary director to discuss the project we're working on.
***and more work at the restaurant.
wednesday:
***shopped with roommate for house items. can i just say Wolrd Market is one of my most favorites ever.
***worked the bar for a rehersal dinner.
thursday:
***wrote cover letter for Editorial Internship.
***ran errands to the post office and video store.
***went with some sudanes friends to the grocery store and cooked dinner with them...or rather taught them how to cook hamburgers on the grill, as their mom is in the hospital. the liitle girl taught me all sorts of words and phrases in dinka, such as 'yin ca leec,' which means 'thank you.' discovered that they hate hussein because he treated their people terribly; in comparison, coming to the States has changed their lives for the better. and so -- despite the desire of many to return one day to their homeland to live and work or perhaps only to visit -- i discovered that my sudanese friends are more patriotic than am i.
friday (felt like two days wrapped all into one):
***worked at 6:30 am and again at 6pm.
***in between, i ran out to Holland for a meeting with an owner of a Christian media company called Hemline Creative Group. It was a good meeting but I'm not sure it went anywhere. ...Holland's layout is so poor that i get lost in its jungled roads and highways everytime i'm there.
saturday:
***cleaned house
***worked at restaurant and made billions. well, practically.
sunday:
***went for run with brother and -- for the first time in my life -- managed to tire him out!
***realized how content i've been not to be seeing a guy i'd been seeing, as he's very difficult to deal with.
***church.
***watched 'The Apostle' with friends. how disturbing! the only part i liked was the scene i'd acted in for a film class. jessie: 'sonny, i just want out.' sonny: 'out of what? this marriage?' jessie: 'yes.' ...sonny: 'i don't want anyone messing with me or my babies, especially not some puny-assed youth minister....'
***stayed up till 3.30am with a friend who needed it.
