What I did today

I slept pretty late, got up around noon. Elmer and Abby, my two dogs, were licking my face and making little complaining noises so that I would take them outside. I got up and was wearing some bright pink swim trunks and I put on an orange fleece jacket, and there are construction workers putting in the floor in the bathroom next to my bedroom. So I walked out in this kind of loud outfit, with my two fluffball dogs in tow, and I prepped the construction guys, saying that I was bringing dogs out of the room, and they got nervous and asked if they were pitbulls, I say no they are a labradoodle and a schnoodle, which calmed them down and then they wanted to see the dogs. I went downstairs, and took the dogs out.

Then I went to Mama Santini's for lunch with Billy, my brother in law. I had a slice of BBQ chicken pizza. The chicken chunks are so big you have to eat them with a fork at this place. A friend of Billy's met us there, and this guy was pretty funny, cracking jokes, and we all had a good time.

Then I came back home, and Laur had gotten back earlier than normal from the Veterinary hospital she works at, and I hung out with her for a little while. Then I went and bought her some Easter presents for tomorrow, the stores were crazy packed, it was borderline violent because there was no room to push the shopping carts and people were getting frustrated about it and sort of pushing through the crowd.

When I got home I put on some nicer clothes, a pair of Khaki pants and a button up shirt, so I could go into the city for an art opening at Eli Klein Gallery, in Soho. The art was good, it was about shifting cultural identity in China, and both the artists were Chinese. They had really fancy snacks and drinks, and I got to meet a couple of people who I wanted to meet.

Then I came home and had a good conversation about what kinds of dreams we have, and was teased about wanting to make art that no one can like, and the less someone likes it the better it is.
