Caitlin's T-Shirt....Today was a mostly unproductive day. I cannot really think of one thing I got done today other than organize my apartment and get things running again. The power went out the other day and I couldn't find the fuse box in my place. I called maintenance and they responded surprisingly fast. Scott (one of the maintenance guys) came by and was able to get some of the lights that had went out functioning again.
If today amounted to anything, it was that I got the chance to meet with Josh. It had been a long time since we had met (probably since February or March) and we were able to catch up a little bit. Other than being an very warm-hearted and caring friend, Josh is also an excellent sound engineer who is renowned in Athens (and beyond) for his brilliant work. He records Southeast Engine, Emily Rodgers, Zeb Dewar, (Nostra Nova), among others. Anyway, it was nice to meet with him and show him pictures and sounds from Ecuador and also to hear what's going on with him.
After a long day of doing little tedious things that didn't really amount to much, I gave up on any ostensible productivity and I wandered up town to get one of Troy Gregorino's no-bake cookies. On the way there, I saw Larry which eventually led me to have dinner with him at Casa. We got it to go and then went back to his house (where I only stayed momentarily), met up with Robinson, and then watched part of this movie called The Wicker Man. Very pleasing (yet demented) film. Someday I will watch the rest of it.
After I got a call from Caitlin, I went to see her. She had just finished a long day of meetings and work activities for ResLife (stands for Residence Life -- an organization that facilitates the housing, activity, and accommodation of Ohio University students) and was free to relax for a little bit with me. She is a Senior Resident Assistant (a more administrative role than the position of Resident Assistant) and I am really proud of her. She works so hard and diligently and it's inspiring to see how well she works. Unbeknownst to her, I boast a little bit (or at least I feel a good amount of pride) when friends and acquaintances ask me what she is up to. I tell them that she is working through ResLife, give a description of what she does, and after all of it I feel like a very proud friend.
