I'm finally back from my week-long trip to Germany. It was a good time, but I'm totally drained right now. Flight there and back were 12 hours of sheer torture. If it wasn't bratty kids, it was people elbowing my in the ribs. Sleep is pretty much impossible. I'm too drained to recap the sights now, but I'll surely do it this weekend. Interesting place....

I should really update more often, but I have been tired all week. Sleeping poorly...and I feel queasy from some bad Chinese food I had a few days ago. Tomorrow night, I get on a plane headed for Germany. I'll be there a week on business. It's my first time to continental Europe, so I'm excited...I even bought a new camera and I don't even...

Been a pretty good week I guess. I finally got out and bought my cat a new Ultra Mega Turbo Litter 3000 or some such and some cat furniture for her to play in/on. My roommate and I still haven't successfully gotten them to meet. My cat still just growls and hisses at the new guy. Ah well.

Been thinking a lot about the future....

What have I been up to? Hmmmmmm... I took a day trip to Florida last week on business. I had the worst luck with my flights, but the actual "business" part of it was okay. Over the weekend, I went to a friend's baby shower...it still blows my mind that they are having a kid. I don't know why it should..they're both about 30 or...

Well...my roommate and I tried to introduce our cats last night. His is a 4 month old male that he just brought home from the shelter a few days ago. Mine is a 4 year old female, who has never encountered another animal since she was a kitten. We read the guides and did the whole separation and slow introduction steps like covering towels with...

The past few days have been rewarding. Dinner on Friday was great...we ate SOOOO much food. The owner of the sushi place was even sending us free stuff. We planned to drink more sake, but just ended up splitting 1 large bottle...I guess it was more about the food and company.

Saturday was spent at the animal shelter helping my roommate pick out a cat...it's...

I have to go into work early today...ugh. It's just my luck that the only day in 2 weeks I was sleeping REALLY well, I had to get up. Another couple of hours, and I may have said I feel good. Now I'm just running on fumes as usual. People tell me I should see a doctor for my sleeping problems, but all they're gonna...

Other than being sick and sleeping like crap all week, it's been fairly nice. The weather lately has been disgustingly hot...I guess if I could wear shorts and a t-shirt all day and hang at the beach, it would be gorgeous, but having to dress presentably and hang around indoors makes it suck.

One thing to look forward to..."spare the air" days for SF Bay...

To add insult to injury, not only did I have to go to L.A. last week, I also brought back some sort of plague. Ugh...I'm so damn sick...and it will not go away...on day 5 and still feel as bad as I did Day 1.

What's been going on...hmmmm. Well, now that I'm gainfully employed, I've been trying to put myself "out there" with respect...

I'm off to new and exotic locales...this time Downtown L.A. and Santa Monica. I grew up in So Cal, but I always hate going back. When you land at LAX, you can see a layer of brown haze covering the whole city...ick. You couldn't pay me enough to live there. Oh well, it's only a 2 day trip and I'll make the most of if....

The social gathering the other night was good fun. I saw a lot of people I've wanted to for a long time...and a few I haven't. Most were disgruntled and talked shop the whole night. A few asked questions about my current workplace...not in the way that they were interested, but in the way that they wanted a job and recommendation from me. I hate...
