New Macbook, yeee! Cause I needed another reason to be even more antisocial. whatever

I think one is officially old when the highlight of one's day is swapping phone calls about doctors appointment with one's parents. Here's hoping both are "it's not cancer" calls.
estrada:
At least it is a good reason!
hopey:
Well, zumanity is worth the trip, and the money. Though it does have less acrobatics. Just more naked.

I love my bush monster.

Come do yoga with me sometime! My first sunday class will be the 22nd.

Well, here's the count so far: Budapest - cancelled. Vienna - nuh uh. Still have yet to hear back about London but that was a longshot anyway. At least I'll be spending the next month traveling off and on around the US. I wouldn't have been able to do the parts I'm most looking forward to now, had Budapest happened. So... oh well. Pooh.
Full-fledged...

homemade guacamole and experimenting with different mixed drink concoctions. more sleeping weirdness. keep thinking about someone I knew in australia, but have no way of getting in contact with. aside from that, pretty much the same.

Your life is way more interesting than mine. wanna share?
Vienna sounds like a cool place to visit.

Suddenly dealing with emotionally and physical stored and neglected crap is getting a bit easier. Seeming a bit more realistically tackle-able, as the tasks get smaller and more clear. As my head gets clearer, so too do the piles in forgotten corners of my apartment. Eventually it really will be livable in here.

Now, exiting the world of metaphor for a moment, I still am...

Public storage maybe? When I move and clean, I put myself into a relentless trash mode, where I only keep things that are specifically from other people. So the letter or the card I got 10 years ago gets to stay, but the paper Tecate coaster from Costa Rica goes (hypothetically speaking, I've never had a Tecate coaster or been to Costa Rica). But yeah, it's tough to say what to do once you've decided it is not trash. maybe binders for the letters? Get those three hole plastic things and stick them in there so you can read through them whenever you like? The fate of a knick-knack is to end up in a box, unfortunately, I believe. That is until you are fabulously wealthy and have lots of shelf space for them.
syncope:
Thank you for you support and comfort. I'm learning how to be at peace soon. Right now I'm distracting myself with sweets and alcohol.

Holy fuck#$*(&!!(*&#$!!"! The Host is bar none the most awesome monster movie of all time.
Fecking wow. I'm not going to say another word, you'll just have to go see it for yourself. Cause...wow.

I've been running around town like the little dervish of ToDo-ville. When my friend was supposed to come stay with me and I didn't have much time to do the whole...

I haven't either! That's why I'm going to watch them. blush
dempsey:
oh, it was more just a "hey, i like tea" sort of thing, but I wasn't crazy about the end result so I just moved on.

So I went to sleep at 5am last night (or morning I guess) and somehow my eyes opened at 9am, but I had the wherewithal to say "fuck that... it's saturday" and proceeded to sleep til 2. I'm awesome, I know.

So, what's your grand plans for St. Patty's day weekend? Do you go out and drink up, or do you avoid the whole scene like the plague?

Hooray, I didn't get royally screwed on taxes this year! And all it took was making about 10% less than I did last year! robot Which also means I made slightly over 1/3 of what my household income was...

dempsey:
Christ... I still have to do my taxes... I was done with them in February last year.

St Patty's will pretty much end up as me not doing shit, maybe drinking something. Essentially no plans and since I've already been out and about twice this week, I have no desire to go anywhere. Probably just watch a movie or 12.

I know, I'm so proud of my irish roots...
trevallion:
Oh! Which one was he?

The boy is occupied with friends and a big fat drinking fest/quest this weekend, so I've got an entire weekend to ACCOMPLISH THINGS! I think that either means I'm old or that I'm a "career girl". Or both.
So Budapest, being a non-issues now, is free to be replaced. Instead of my 1 week there, I'm now looking at 3 days in Boston, 2 weeks...

I'm now on week whateverthehell of workaholicness. Got another paper to add to my deadline, so I'll be a recluse till at least the first week of April now. Even my socializing this weekend will likely be work-oriented. Colleague needs to be wined and dined, showed how awesome Portland is. But Mom's supposed to come up for lunch, at which point I think we're gonna...

Well, poop. The conference in Budapest was cancelled. Now I don't know if I'll be traveling anywhere else at all this year. Still crossing my fingers on the papers I've submitted so far. Guess I'll just focus on cranking out the writing gigs in the meanwhile. Maybe I can actually get in a couple weeks vacation time instead. That'd be nifty.
syncope:
Will you have time off this summer?

Geez. This has been the first time in ages I've been in town and not checking the intarweb daily. Been running and running at break-neck speed, with no sign of stopping to breathe soon. Worked almost every day and night this week. Maybe Wednesday night will include breathing time... whatever This is my month of being a full blown, crazy workaholic. Then focals. wink
It's kinda surreal...

It sucks. We can't forget to take it easy and enjoy life. This summer I'm going on a roadtrip. Where and for how long I have no idea but I'll need to just get away from "obligations" for awhile. Don't work too hard. smile
dempsey:
I'm working on a new resume, btw. I got a REALLY good compliment from Jeffrey Zeldman recently and you KNOW i'm focussing on that. smile

Not so much on the previous request yet, but on the request of doing something new at work...the universe has responded in abundance. I have something like 5 writing opportunities that all need to be done this month, from abstracts to rewriting a chapter in a book. Eek. Looks like I'm gonna be buckling down, then! Also aiming to get sent to Vienna and London,...

I'm officially tired of watching my friends have shitty times with their relationships. I hereby order the universe to start giving everybody heaps and heaps of happiness and love and ease.

It works that way, right? I say "jump" and the universe says "how high?"
syncope:
Send some happiness my way OK?
My poisons are the usual bullshit-perscription drugs that make cookoo, alcohol that makes me wretch, bad food that makes me guilty. I'm cleaning up my act and starting new. It sounds silly but I"m serious. I will not be another man that reinforces all the typical stereotypes of the male gender. I will break free. biggrin

Except I'm still going to be as stubborn as they come.
brokenbeatnik:
It actually does work that way, you know.
It's like that Chris Rock routine where he's talking about how a woman will do anything you want if you say that shit right. Except put in a badly dubbed "the universe" wherever he says "woman", and it's kind of like that.
