Playing DJ
Feb. 4th, 2013 12:51 pmPacked up my sheets, some medicine, and some lunch and trundled in to work. I scanned all of 4 files all day long, which is fine. Gives me time to listen to music, and hack up my lungs. I was much better than the prior days, but would still have taken a sick day if I was able. I went to the gym on my lunch break - a short workout is better than no workout - and had a surprisingly good one. Just abs and arms, but lots of both, and the 30lb weight is getting easier to lift. More than that, though, I heard two new songs to include on Ashley's CD. One of them Youtube had been suggesting to me for a while, and I'd just never bothered to play. Funny, that.
I was supposed to get together with Dale after work, but canceled. He'd said he'd be fine cuddling on the couch, but I really didn't want to be in that close proximity to him, just in case I'm still contagious. I swung by the laundry mat on the way home. Cost me almost $5, but I got my comforters, sheets, pillowcases, towels, and sweats washed in under an hour, so I'd say that's worth it.
Todd had invited me over to watch RuPaul's Drag Race, so I stopped at TJ's and picked up a bag of the apple cinnamon twists and funyuns. They didn't get opened, but they'll still be there next time. Joining us was the "chiropractor" from Rob's parties, his partner, and a shorter, stocky, tattooed gent named Mike. Mike name dropped a bunch of porn stars, but other than that, was really quite entertaining. He also spontaneously breaks out into Birdcage quotes, and no one who spontaneously breaks out into Birdcage quotes can be all bad.
The show was ok, if edited within an inch of its life. The Untucked episode even more so. It didn't occur to me until now, but I have a history of overly-strong reactions to things. If I think something's funny, there's a good chance it's going to be the funniest thing *ever.* There were a couple times where I was the only one laughing, but many more where Todd laughed along with me.
Back at home, I put the finishing touches on Ashley's CD, fought with some of the formats, but finally burned two copies and called it a night. We don't have exactly the same taste in music, but Project Runway taught me well. In any creative endeavor, it's important to please your client, but you've got to stay true to your own vision as well.
Laid down to sleep a little after midnight. At 1, I was still tossing and turning. With Ashley coming in to town the next day, I really could not afford to miss any sleep, so I finally just took a half a dose of sleeping pills.
