Andersen Silva's Journal

24th April, 2008. 7:30 am. Discipline? Hmmm.

I downloaded "Discipline," the new Nine Inch Nails single, yesterday morning, and I'm already hooked. It's quite good; I think I've played it six or seven times already.  :)  "Once I start, I cannot stop myself..."

On Earth Day, this past Tuesday, I got together with Sally for drinks and appetizers. We went to the City Lounge, which, despite living half a block away from it, I'd never visited before. The sun hadn't finished setting yet, so we sat outside, where a chivalrous Andy let the young woman wear his jacket when it started cooling off. They had Newcastle on tap, which was a plus for me, and the menu was rather more extensive than either of us had expected. The waitress was cute, too! It was good to catch up with Sally.

I'm going to be doing a lot of catching up tomorrow night, as I'm going to see my old friends Adrian and Julio! The three of us used to call ourselves 'the Three Amigos' back in high school. We haven't all gotten together in about eleven years, so I'm looking forward to hangin' wit' my crew again. Going to be another busy weekend, since I plan to see elizabeth! Saturday night, and I think I'm meeting Barbara at the Shad Fest in Lambertville on Sunday. Probably not going to make the Campfire at the Red Lion Sunday evening, then, but perhaps I'll visit Slane on Tuesday...

Yesterday was 'Administrative Professionals Day' (who comes up with this stuff?), and we have two people who pretty much fall into this category, Jennifer and Jessica (also known as Jessifer and Jennica). Even though neither reports directly to me, they're both incredibly helpful to me, and it's safe to say that my job would be even harder and more stressful without their assistance, so I figured I'd show my appreciation with a pair of Edible Arrangements. Which were totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. So that was cool.

I helped a pretty young woman in designer jeans locate the Ticket Vending Machine code for New York's Penn Station (it's 000, if you're interested) this morning while she was frantically trying purchase a ticket at the Ridgewood train station, so that's my good deed for the day.

Even with everything else going on, I'm finding the time (forcing the time?) to play a little guitar every night again. It occurred to me last night to play some of my recorded songs and then play guitar along with them, so I sat in the living room, fired up the Apple TV, and ran through a few tunes. Updated system software in the Apple TV and the PlayStation 3 as well... Man, I haven't played any games on that thing in a while.

Current mood: busy.
Current music: "Discipline" by Nine Inch Nails.
