Cadenza 1

Cadenza, noun: "An improvised or written-out ornamental passage played or sung by a soloist or soloists, usually in a "free" rhythmic style, and often allowing for virtuosic display."

So I'm up in Hartford... another week passing me by. I've been here since June, Monday through Thursday... sometimes its pretty good, other times it sucks horrendously because I'm not living daily life in New York. It's really the simple things that I miss, like sitting around in my apartment, sleeping in my own bed, buying groceries and cooking, playing my own Mario Kart set, or even just walking around. I can't complain too much though, cause I don't have any expenses to worry about during the weeks, I'm racking up hotel points at a freakish rate.

I've decided that I really like autumn... it even says so in my profile interests. I think its something about the crisp fall air around, beautiful colors in the trees... makes me want to go walk around in the woods and get lost somewhere and not have to come into work. I've been hitting up the farmer's market in Union Square every Saturday morning, buying milk fresh from the cows udder (mooo!), eggs, veggies... and now that it's fall, there's lots of gourds and pecan pies and even locally-brewed pumpkin ales! Pretty solid. On the thought line of fall and how I just wanna be outside in a flannel shirt and cords, I'm pondering a canoe/portage trip through Algonquin Provincial Park for next fall... get into the backwoods and canoe from lake to lake, see some moose, sleep out under the stars and listen to the wolves howling. I think that's going to be my vacation next fall. If any of you other guys are interested, let me know, we'll do it live.

While I'm on the topic, check out a video on youtube about Bill O'Reilly flipping out... some writer on his show wrote something for teleprompter, and he didnt want to say it so he flips out. Best line? He goes "fuck it... we'll do it live". So the "we'll do it live" phrase has somewhat stuck, I use it when I'm making moves.

Recent moves I've made:

- Bought Rosetta Stone for French so I can eventually go live/work in Europe (Switzerland?) and make bank over there, live like Hemingway, enjoy nice wines and new cultures, and travel around easily.

- Bought a sick knife set for my apartment... Henckels. Can cut through anything I'm prepping, its fucking great.

- Learning how to cook a ton... some specialties I've been working on are Spanish tapas: Gambas al Ajillo (Shrimp and Garlic), and Chorizo con Manzana (Chorizo with Apple).

- Got the digits of a really hot girl at a recruiting fair at UPenn... unreal. We went out last weekend, making plans for this weekend. She is actually very cool and smart, and its the first time in a while that I'm actually excited for some kind of possibilities. Woohoo.

I'm getting excited for this debate. I've also gotta make a bit of a poop, so I'm gonna go do that.

Speaking to Beaux right now, he is angry as hell. I love it. I hope he writes something about it all (hint, hint).

That's all for now. I wanna go play frisbee in this nice fall weather. And have a stogie on the roof of Commons. With some Spanish wine. And the frisbee team. That'd be hype.
