not so out of luck

i have a job now, at tai sophia institute, an acupuncture school about 20 seconds walking distance from the applied physics lab, where lynn has been working this summer. i make coffee, clean various surfaces, and sell people books and herbal supplements. my boss david is cool, very experienced in the book selling business. i try to bring positive karma to the store. so far it's working.

today my parents and i saw "the witches of eastwick," an awesome new musical that is in its pre-broadway stages. it closed tonight at signature theater. anyone remember the movie with cher, susan sarandon and jack nicholson? same plot, and the actors in this version are particularly delicious in their roles. hopefully a good portion of them will carry it to tinseltown (is that new york's nickname? i always get it confused for the nickname for paris, which i now know thanks to aunt eva is "the city of lights").

i have a certain amount of trepidation about carting myself away to new york. it's an inevitable change, i know. working in the box office at the arts center, interning and/or dj-ing at the radio station, forming and directing an 8- or 10-member renaissance group sponsored by the harpsichord professor, playing flute consistently and demanding more of myself - will it be all that i hope for? will i be able to get down to the city on weekends with any regularity? frequent art galleries and new music concerts? fall in love with the woods and remoteness that is purchase? drum up enough money for airfare to france to see important people?

hm.
as usual, too much worrying.
just read kite runner and have been listening to india.arie's "confessional" sans cesse.
