It's 1am and David Blaine has blessed me with Magic

So hard to keep up when so much and so little is going on! I've been drinking with family for three straight weekends and it's been wonderful. My dad and I had a little come to Jesus session that, so far, has led to better relations. My cousin took me to a dance club in DC where I was the only white girl. I reconnected with my WASP heritage at my great aunt's birthday in Lawrence, NY. I made out in front of my mom. All enriching experiences.

Tonight I met up with another family connection - the friend of my maternal step-cousin whom I met once in a hot tub in Vermont in 2006. Thanks to thefacebook.com and good social skills, now we are buds in Brooklyn and we spent an hour this evening watching David Blaine sort of hang upside down in Central Park. It was entirely unamazing.

I'm beginning to feel nervous about the job hunt. I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere. I don't have much to do each day except scramble (on the Internet) to find jobs to apply for and people to email. So I'm both free and very busy. Still with the contrast of things and feelings about most things. Funny thing, feelings.

More on Nicole and Jake's wedding, Tata's 90th, nesting and loving Brooklyn later. Still on West Coast time and I need SLEEP.
