My sister has become a Robert Downey Jr. fan and that's just so cute. We saw Zodiac this weekend - a super long movie (just short of three hours), but pretty good. Nice cast.
Friday's happy hour found us at Felicia's Atomic Lounge a hotspot for gays and lesbians where the $4.50 lychee martini's are cold and strong. The lounge has a resident dog and you will find people knitting in there. Strange vibe.
Lately we've been (me, dan, rick and em) going to Pancho Villa's, a relatively new Mexican restaurant with terrible decor but fantastic food. The cajun burrito (grilled shrimp and chorizo) is awesome.
Tonight I'm heading into the city for a big business pitch tomorrow morning, followed by a visit to another client I have not met, but have been working on his website since June. Friday I will head to my old PR firm for lunch and then visit my accountant - oh joy.
My stomach is in knots. I really really want this new business. I really really don't want to owe $10K to the government. And for the most part I get nervous going back to Westchester. I will be staying at my aunt and uncle's for most of the time, which I'm excited about. It's a neutral, comfortable spot to chill with my bro and sis - also really excited about seeing them.
I want/need to spend time with my family. My uncle's cancer has returned about two weeks ago and he'll be on daily chemotherapy for the next month. He was given a clean bill of health a few months ago, but he woke up with a rash (he's got a rare form of skin cancer) one morning and two days later it had spread rapidly.
Signing off.

For some strange reason, I think I'd dig that Atomic Lounge. I miss crocheting and shit.. AND a resident dog? what kind? how cute!
Pancho Villa's - a well known mexican chain round here. Food IS awesome, and some places the deco ain't THAT bad.. but some are just damn obnixious. Like wall vomit or something.
Best wishes on the new biz.
Whawhawha??? $10K ???
So, SO sorry to hear about your uncle. Hoping for the best.
once you get to be with your family, i bet the knots will go away. please pass on my love and prayers to all of them.
and i'm sure it will feel great to socialize with others outside of ithaca and see some different faces...no offense to the ithaca crew.
I doubt it's the same chain. Seems no one can come up with another name for a mexican restaurant besides Pancho Villa's or Garcia's.
I haven't paid any taxes this year - part of being a freelancer. Actually, it's my own fault - I should have set up quarterly payments with the gov't as my accountant told me I should last March, but seems I never got around to it.
I don't know what kind the dog is -looks like a spaniel. He's a sweetie.
Thanks Shan and Kimmee.
Sorry about your uncle. Like Shannon said, the knots will go away once you are with them. Seems with family we forget all the bad after one huge hug!!!
I can't wait to see you because you know, I think you are amazing.
Now, don't go fainting when you hear how much you have to pay. Light some candles, drink some wine and breathe!!!!!!
