Thirty-four

No longer on the caveman diet, I regained 10 lbs.

Also, I turned thirty-four. For my birthday, I and a few others watched 24 Hour Party People. Now Martin goes around singing Joy Division songs (just the bass-lines). And the last two days, in the car, he’s asked me to play songs by the Happy Mondays.

What I’ve been listening to, over and over, is the first minute of this.

World Cup qualifier, this p.m.: Ecuador vs. Uruguay, in Quito. Second-place vs. first-place. I’ll be in the tutoring office. Pray for my pupils to stay at home in bed, what with the gloomy weather, so that I can watch the game. And pray for Ecuador to win.
