Drink Rum

This has been a really, really strange week for me. I have been through some big highs and deep lows. I have no idea where I am though... it's like I'm just waiting for the next "event".

Here's the quick and dirty on it all:

My assistant's last day at work was today. That was tough in and of itself... but the fact that I'd mentally had him working until next monday really made my week crap when I found my mistake. Work in general is busy as hell.

I've got one week to get a ton of stuff done and I think there's no way it's all going to happen. But I will push myself to burnout to do it.

Because the week after, I'll be in Las Vegas on the company dime for a week. Great fun. Assuming I survive to that point.

I went to the Redskins game this past weekend. I had uber seats. (Thanks Phil!) I taunted the kicker. There'll probably have to be a whole seperate post about that.

My muse broke. That's much more different than the situation earlier this summer where I lost my muse. I will be thrilled when my muse is fixed. But that may be a while.

I've got my favorite holiday in the world coming up. And a great party with great people.

I'm not even close to ready for it.

My knee has been acting up.

I bought an Audi TT Roadster Convertible. It's super bad. It's also the most impractical car in the universe. But it sure is fun to drive. (I still have the SUV, so add to the "impractical list" the fact that I own more cars than I can drive... it runs in my family.)

I'll put a photo up here. By the way... the purchase was inspired by a variety of things, but one of them was Slide and his amazing bike. I thought how cool it was to buy something like that just for the feeling of joy of being on the road. And I thought to myself... wouldn't it be awesome to flick him and his joy off as I ran his ass off the road in a convertible.

My halloween costume is done. I don't know how. I probably put less effort into it than any other costume I've done in years... although I've been thinking about it for 20 years.

Tomorrow will be tough. I'm at the point where I have so much to do I don't even know where to start.

The plan is pretty simple though...

One really bad day at work.
One really cool halloween party.
One day recovering from said party. (I smell football)
One really bad week at work.
One really awesome week in Las Vegas.

That gets me through mid-November.

After that... I'm guessing my head will explode. As long as it's after Las Vegas... fine by me. The way my luck at the craps table was last time... I might need an exploded head to forgive my potential gambling debts.
