Stress–
With the holidays actually here, I’m feeling a lot less stress today than I have at the start of this week. For some reason, I’ve been worried by all the things that have to happen (personally, work-wise, travel-wise). I don’t know why it’s made me feel antsy, but it has. And I’m happy to say…
The Secret To Staying Young
There are a lot of secrets. But here’s one of them: ride tricycles as often as you can.
Emmett Visits
Ben stopped in today with his boy, Emmett. He’s a great kid, and a ton of fun to hang out with. The two of them were getting their hair cut today. Ben went first (so he could be there while Emmett got his hair cut. During that time, Emmett hung out with me and a…
The Gifts Just Keep On Coming
There’s a Secret Santa exchange over at WOT. Anonymously, each person got a gift from another forum member. Lots of great gifts, passing hands. Turns out Grumpy was the one who got me gifts, and check this out: Awwww yeah! This rocks! Thanks, Grumpy!
Perpetaul Loop
Thanks to rypunked, I’ve been listening to Mojave 3 more and more and more, lately. Sometime late yesterday or today, Prayer for the Paranoid became the newest song that I’ve been looping incessantly. For those that know me, I tend to succomb to a particular song in a really compulsive sort of way. I’ll wind…
Dropping Off Gifts
After work, I hopped a cab and got out around Justin’s neighborhood. I stopped off at Dave’s house, and gave him his present. It’s been a long while since I’ve hung out with Dave, and I feel like either work or my own introversion has gotten the better of me lately. Like me, Dave is…
A Day Of Gifts
Today, I brought in all the gifts I had to work and passed stuff around. Despite tomorrow being a full work day, today felt like the last real day before the holidays kick in. Everyone’s getting out around noon on Wednesday, so today felt like the time to give everyone their presents. At the end…
Still Getting Used To This
I’m making all my updates now through TextPad. It’s helped me get used to looking directly at code, and the more I do it… the more comfortable I get. But right now, I still feel clunky. Through Dreamweaver, I could see what my pages looked like as I typed. Having that visual reference, I ceased…
It’s Time To Go To Cat Town
A slight excerpt from the Cat Town site: Q. WHY ARE YOU USING ALL-CAPS, THAT IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING ON THE INTERNET AND IS RUDEA. I AM NOT SHOUTING, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S SHOUTING Thanks to audrey for this link.
Passing Along The Car
Woke up this morning and picked up Justin and Emma. They were off to do some last minute shopping this morning, and I gave them the use of my car for the day. We had a great meal at DeMarr’s, and on the way back home, I picked up a bunch of wrapping paper for…
The Hermit Thing Continues
I emded up not going to a party that Cathie invited me to this evening. I thought perhaps my mood might havechanged, but whatever I got yesterday has more or less continued. I feel bad since my only reason is “Gee, I can’t really bearound people right now.” Slow, introverted sort of day today (minus…
Advice For Shopping Procrastinators
I woke up (semi) early, made a big list of who I was buying for and what I hoped to get them. I stepped out ofthe door a little after 10:00 AM. All in all, traffic was heavy, but not horrific. Traffic’s always bad on the weekends,so I guess I didn’t see too much worse…
:hermit:
Something about today. I’ve been feeling really quiet, and really withdrawn. It felt like I was looking at everything and everyone from an additional five feet away. A bunch of us went to Portillo’s for lunch, and while I was there… I didn’t really participate in much of the conversations. Tony was visiting, and I…
Tomorrow
I go Christmas shopping. Because I haven’t done ANY shopping yet. I’m waking up early, and hitting the stores with a commando type list. I hope to be as surgical as possible. In and out. Yes, yes. I know. 19.000 other people are thinking the exact same fucking thing. I’m so totally doomed.
