mid-afternoon
dood, dude, dudette.
this is the first time, in years, that i've felt compelled to write something in here in the middle of the day. while at work. we should all be proud that i haven't wasted work time in so long to type and jabber, as i used to constantly do a few years ago and a few thousand miles away.
it's got nothing to do with the fact that i'm bored. because i'm not. at all. i've got plenty to do, piles that sit awaiting my attention, and i have no doubt that things will continue to pile up all the way until next august when i finally sit down and pass out from exhaustion. it happened last year, so i remember the feeling quite well.
so why do i feel like writing? no idea. i just do. i haven't done it in a while, and it always made me feel better (not that i'm feeling bad), but yeah... you know.
i thought of dc and boston earlier today because my igoogle page showed some crap-ass weather in those cities, and i secretly felt happy that san jose is still sunny and brisk. it was ridiculously hot last weekend (80s), and i wished for snow. now, 4 days later, it's in the mid-60s, so i guess mother nature found a happy medium for the time being. i also realized that i've been out of college for a long time.... and for some reason, that worries me a little. why? dunno. something having to do with age, wrinkles, grad school, life, paths, the usual.
i'm gonna move again soon to another house in sj. bigger yard, actual garage, real kitchen, but smaller in general square footage. it's cute though; i think i'll like it just fine. i've recently been slaving over small, hot, propane flames to bend glass candy canes. it's fun -- at least until i get tired of doing it or the thrill of it runs low. and i've been poking myself in the tummy endlessly because i'm amazed that i have so much flab. i.e. it's really time to exercise.
also, thanksgiving is coming up soon. yay food coma!
and another thing -- WHY do fluorescent lights suck so much? i always feel alien-ish and dizzy as the day goes on. i realize that incandescent bulbs are less efficient, but really, it's time to invent something (like fluorescent) that's inspiring for all of us desk-workers. cube rats. whatever we're called. i'm gonna become an inventor.
i went to half moon bay with mum, bro, sis-in-law, 2 kiddos on sunday to wander and go tidepooling. mmm, i miss the ocean and the cold salty water. and dirty toes and funny sea anemones. that job was pretty awesome, wasn't it? too bad i wrangled with poverty while working it.
okay, back to the details of the 2009 recruiting plan. my head hurts. ciao!
