Poorly written rambling returns

I had one of those nights last night where I make a huge miscalculation deliberately and with the best intentions full well knowing I will regret it horrendously for at least the entirety of the next day. My cousin Makoto was in town after touring around Europe (and even when he's in the UK, he's all the way over in Bristol, which is a three hour train ride from London, which is ridiculous) and was spinning at an underground lounge called Ruby Lo in Mayfair, which seemed like a strange location for that - I figured the East End or south of the river would be a better place for a show like that. Beforehand I had dinner with a friend at yauatcha, a 1 michelin star uber-trendy dim sum place (and to be clear, I had a private dinner tonight at Claridge's main restaurant, which is a Gordon Ramsay joint that ALSO has a michelin star - 2 stars in one week!) which was a delicious meal. My kumquat cocktail was a bit too kumquat-y, but all of the dim sum was incredible. Afterward, I skipped out and headed over to ruby lo for Makoto's set, and as I feared, there were only about 30 people at the club (he warned me it would be small). It was a bit strange because London is the place where drum and bass was born, and this was by far the lowest attendance I've seen at one of Makoto's shows over the last seven years. It was either the location, the lack of promotion, the fact that it was a wednesday night, or the fact that Makoto was just guest DJ-ing at a weekly event rather than at a proper show (likely the last reason). It's a shame too because it was the best set I've ever seen him perform. He's mixed in a lot more aggression and changed up beats and builds to counter his funk and jazz tendencies and the ultimately monotonous drum and bass beat. Plus, it was short and sweet - i was only there for 2 hours instead of the 7 hour shows I've been victim to before at Makoto's other shows (where I'd watch one DJ spin after another until 6 in the morning, at which point you want to die BECAUSE you're not on drugs).

Anyway, I didn't get home til 2 AM, which was terrible. i got just over 4 hours of sleep and was borderline narcoleptic at work today. I would literally fall asleep just randomly sitting in my chair - my brain would shut off and I'd only wake up because my body would note the emergency caused by me beginning to fall over in my chair.

Another note - the tube not having air conditioning is going to be hellish SOON. It's not even warm outside yet and I was sweating through my clothes on the tube tonight because of how hot it gets. It's absurd. Also, this business dinner I had tonight caused me to miss two different events I was invited to. I hate business dinners! Schedule meetings during work hours! Please!

Ahem*... And here comes the weekend once I get through tomorrow. This has been a busy and exhausting week at work because of all the meetings I've had. I just need more sleep. Speaking of which, good night.
