So. For the first time in about a year I lit Shabbat candles. I don't quite know why or what made me instinctively go to the idea but it felt nice. Maybe it is because I see Sukkahs put up all over the area in which I live so I feel like I should, I don't know.

I was also going to go to a couple gallery openings tonite. One at a building that I co manage, which has this really great co op and the other a friend of my brothers, but didn't feel like leaving my house. Its raining, there is an autumnal chill in the air and something just made me feel better about staying in and lighting Shabbat candles.

I had the day off today, went to see the Pixies last night (Frank Black was so on I nearly peed my pants....and watching Kim Deal smoke, play bass and sing...holy crap, the woman is a marvel... joey's guitar solo thing was so weird and interesting and sonic feedback Thurston Moore would be proud, and watching David Lovering pound away it made me realize drummers really do rule)and I really honestly anticipated not wanting to go into work today. Glad I didn't as I spent most of the day cleaning my carpets and getting things done around here. It was terrific. A really nice start to what I only anticipate being a better weekend.

I was going to make some phonecalls today and the only one that I got to was recieved rather unsurprisingly by voicemail so I decided that enough is enough after tommorrow morning when I have some work stuff to do (which means like 10 a.m.-ish) I am turning the phones (including my cell probably) off. And probably the answering machine in the house. I have voicemail on the cell phone that I can't do anything about so I will deal with that when the time comes. But really... Alexander Graham Bell, thanks for the kick ass invention, but not interested for the next 48 hours.
