spring break

i visited sf.

• fat angel with matt, rebecca et al and the artist.
  
• dates with matt.  mcnee ranch hike & bento boxes from 903.  delica & dave eggars talk.
• painted the hallway a nice, vibrant yellow.  i don't think you can feel anything but happy and warm standing in that hallway!  also, decision to use subway tile for the backsplash.  my summer project, perhaps?
  
• meet up with alums at various institutions.  lots of leads to follow up on.
• pasta making success with keqin!  it's been fun to have a culinary co-adventurer :) 
• finished crossing to safety by wallace stegner, a beautiful, reflective book about marriage and friendship, with long passages like this: ''What ever happened to the passion we all had to improve ourselves, live up to our potential, leave a mark on the world? . . . We all hoped, in whatever way our capacities permitted, to define and illustrate the worthy life. With me it was always to be done in words. . . . Leave a mark on the world. Instead, the world has left marks on us. We got older. Life chastened us so that now we lie waiting to die. . . . And all of us, I suppose, could at least be grateful that our lives have not turned out harmful or destructive.''
• hunger games with garett.
• thai massage for myself :)
• made some frozen meals for matt, the last batch until i'm back :)
