nothing much

I got up this morning feeling fairly good, even though it was late. 10:30. I never sleep this long so I was a little paranoid that I was going to miss the day. Saturday is the farmers market, so I got my act together and made a walk over to the city market.

This was the second week I was attending the farmers market. Last week I had a comprehensive list of needed supplies in order to make my first batch of jambalaya. I bought most the stuff I needed at the farmer's market, which included chicken, sausage, onions, lots of spices, and some other stuff. The directions basically told me to cut everything up and throw it in a pot that was supposed to bake for an hour and a half. My gage for a good meal is editable. And the jambalaya was editable – and fairly good. So I succeeded.

This week I wasn't prepared with a list of supplies, so I just bought some strawberries and went into to the inside portion and got some food for lunch.

I'm beginning to get to the point that I will see someone I know when I trace out into the town. Today I got to see one of the landscape architects that we work with a lot. She's cool. Last week I met someone that is part of the yuppie-tool organization I'm a member of (aka Forum 35).

I walked back to my apartment, and took another nap. Somehow I was tired. The previous night I had gone out with ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Jordan to the Roux House. the Roux House is a some-what band venue that also had some outside seating. Some covered band was playing, and it wasn't great. So we sat outside and had conversation until we migrated to the Irish Pub across the street. But it was definitely not a late night. Nor was there an abundance of drinking involved.

Thursday night was happy hour with the agglomeration of people that work in the statehouse. We went to Chelsea's. Chelsea's is located at the Perkins underpass. It's an ecleptic area, that isn't pretty. I mean, the entire bar strip is located under the interstate. But the area is pretty much awesome. Our happy hours will fluxuate between the Perkins area or Red Star downtown.

Wednesday night was the premier of Armed and Famous, which I was prepared to give aMuncie party. It wasn't until I turned on the TV at 7:20 and found the show partially over. (I thought it was on at 8:00, but I keep forgetting the TV schedules are different here). So I called the (few) people attending the party and cancelled, then took the remaining pizza over to my friends apartment down the street. They had a bunch of people over, along with a wine. This was fun, but at this point I was ready for bed and just sunk into the atmosphere instead of participating.

This weekend is low key – just like most weekends that I have been experiencing. Although this weekend is three days. Awesome. Plus we got off at 1:30 on Friday. The mayor has a policy that shuts the city down at 2:00 the day before a holiday. But here of lately we are allowed to leave at 1:30. This includes taking a lunch.

I have finally secured my first visitor. Jess will be coming down for the LA conference at the end of February. This rocks.
