rinueRough day. Disaster struck on my way to work, so that I arrived shaky and had to head home and sit numbly on the sofa for five hours. Then I had soup. Then I read a lot about algae near Hawaii.
Went to Pennington's birthday celebration at S4*, and as our group was the best dressed in the club, people watching was rather dull. (And we weren't even trying. But Friday is the night a lot of straight people come out, aside from which a lot of the gay scene here is as shitty-jeans-and-tshirt as the rest of the city. Although James did get to ogle an exceptionally built cocktail waiter.)
Pennington has just founded a liberal think tank; the area could certainly use one. This is the first time Pennington has ever seemed my age; I'm used to thinking of him as ten years older. (He is older, although I don't know how much older.)
I miss Val. Part of it comes from reading Post Captain, which is about a very close friendship, but part of it is just missing the person who is in many capital-R Romantic respects the great love of my life. I'd feel better about it if I knew we could choose to live in the same city again soon, but we can't really. Maybe in three years. As James and I have already agreed, I need to hurry up and be successful enough to employ us all.
