Jane: I met a man today. I want to know if he'll contact me soon.

Psychic: ::pause:: Yes. Now, don't get too excited, there are some obstacles that you'll need to overcome... But he's very excited about you, and he'll be in touch.

Ken: Will I find a house soon? (granted, not the best worded question)

Psychic: ::pause:: Yes. I see the Spring, but not before Easter. Where are you looking?

Ken: Massachusetts.

Psychic: ::pause:: You will live near the ocean. You will always live near the ocean.

Jenny: I have something I want to do with my life, I want to know if it will happen.

Psychic: ::pause:: You will have 4-7 years of education before you can attain this goal.

Jenny: Okay.

Psychic: ::pause:: You will have to meet several goals to make this happen, it'll take 4-7 years. But you need more education. What is it you want to do?

Jenny: Open a knitting shop, a yarn shop.

Psychic: Why would you need more education to open a yarn shop?

Jenny: Um, I don't know?

Psychic: ::pause:: I'm seeing un. U. N. Like maybe you'll work for the UN?

Jenny: Um.

Psychic. U N...

Jane (from the side): H?

Psychic: ???

Jenny: I went to UNH. University of New Hampshire.

Psychic: ::pause:: I see a lot more education in your future. I see "UN" burning brightly, whatever that means. You'll have 4-7 years of education. You'll definitely open the yarn shop later in your life. Like when you're in your late 50's. But in 4-7 years you'll find what you want to do, and it'll be perfect for you.

$5.

Yeah, perfect until I'm in my late 50's and I decide to START A BUSINESS. At 58. Which will be 30 years from today, because today I turn 28. And hopefully in 4-7 years I will own a yarn shop.

The rest of the day has been great. We drove to NY, parked in Pelham, took the Metro North in, checked into our hotel, walked to Rockerfeller Center, walked to Times Square, took the subway to the Empire State Building. It was gorgeous. I LOVED seeing the Chrysler Building, it's my favorite building.

We took the subway back to our hotel and chilled out for a bit, then Janie showed up! We hung out for a bit, then went to dinner at this great place. Then the drinking ensued. I had several Cosmos (I WAS in New York City, after all, and I AM from New Hampshire and am therefore way past the times, which apparently are Pomegranite Margaritas today?), Janie had several glasses of wine, Ken had a couple beers. Jane got the drunkest, with me in a close second, and Ken is his usual relatively responsible self.

On our way back to the hotel we ran across the Psychic Studio $5 special, so we went in. The above is what happened. Very insightful, that psychic was. Oh yeah.

Meanwhile, my dad's said happy birthday to me no fewer than FOUR times today from up in H-Town. If you're new here, you may think I'm a little crazy, but I know he's still with me, and I know he says hi to me from time to time, usually on a big day like the anniversary of his death or his birthday. Today his name showed up TWICE (he had a pretty out of the ordinary name, you can't NOT notice it), at one point I smelled something that reminded me of him, and then he showed up in Jane's birthday card to me.

Jane got me a present, a beautiful bracelet. I love it.

Okay so now we're back. I've played the Funnel Dick Sessions for Janie, who has since left for home, since it's really a school night for the normal folk (don't think Ken and I {well, just me, really} weren't calling everyone in a suit poor saps for working today when we had it off). Ken is using the not very private bathroom, though, really, I can't hear or see anything, but that may be because I'm playing Flight of the Conchords really loudly right now, "There are angels... In the clouds... Doin' it..."

So here's the question of the night. You get to play psychic now. Will we go out for another birthday beer? It's 9:56. Or will we stay in the hotel, take a waterfall shower and go to bed?

Go. Guess. Do it.
