Ginger Snaps

Eating a box of ginger snaps currently.  I didn't post last night, I guess I hadn't drank as much tequila as the night before.  Tonight I haven't drank any tequila.
I've made friends with a cat here, Jacki's roommate's cat. It's fat and fluffy and funny, and I like petting it. We watched baseball together the other day.  I've also made some human friends, many people in Boulder and Denver are nice.  Some of the people here in Boulder are not nice. Drugs seem to be a big culture here, and while I know some people can be druggies and still function, most can't. Not even in the health sense, people into drug culture tend to 1. Not understand that other people aren't into drug culture, and 2. Let drugs influence most other aspects of their life.
Also one of my new friends got roofied yesterday apparently, so Boulder is on thin ice for me.
But there's also lots of great people, and the people I've met around bars and restaurants have been especially nice.  It's refreshing to have people want to talk to you and want to make friends, a trend I've found in the pubs and coffeeshops that is severely lacking in New York.  New York has some great people too, but it takes the idea of not making eye contact or acknowledging strangers and raises it to quite the exponent.

Thankfully my sleep schedule is also starting to get more reasonable.  No more 5am-2pm sleeping for me when I get back to NY. I'm going back so soon, break has gone fast but also slowly. Lots of great memories every day, I'm liking it out here but also ready to get back to other things.  I miss playing music the most, and some people back in New York.  Obviously I'd prefer to combine the best of both worlds, but maybe having them separate is what makes them special.

I watched High School Musical for the first time all the way through today. It was surprisingly satisfying, not great but not terrible or cringeworthy.  I think it's a good example of a right way to do that kind of movie.  Simplistic, but not overly dumbed down or grating.
That's about all I have to say for now. I didn't get too much reading of Lawrence In Arabia done today despite spending a long while in Starbucks to read it, but I'm enjoying these reading excursions a lot and plan to continue them now that it's getting warmer back in New York.
Jacki has a very comfy couch.
Here's Wilhelm Kempff, an amazing pianist giving an amazing rendition of the Third Movement from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
