Hunting around on real estate sites is NOT encouraging. Not only is there nothing in my price range, but there's very little that i like...even way, WAY out of my range. Looks like the master plan is back to inheriting/marrying rich/winning the lottery/being one of the few survivors in a post-apocalyptic society. Hey, at least i'm a realist.
Yes, I'm getting restless. Just started a new job today, which may be part of it. What is there to say about it? Not much, really. It's a really good opportunity, with mad stress and lots of possibility for advancement. Whaddaya know, folks, it's the american dream. Ain't that nifty? If I seem sarcastic, I don't necessarily intend to. It's just that I'm fundamentally NOT brimming with corporate ambition. This may not be exactly how I envision my life, but until such time as I can acually fill my life with things I value...well, shit, I might as well do something (and being successful would not be the worst way I could pass the time).
I am completely absorbed in Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age in an obsessive, geeky way that I haven't managed to acheive for years. If I was still in school, I would be covertly reading it behind all my textbooks. You should read it too-behind your textbooks and everything. It's not the best thing he's ever written, but goddamn, is it fun!
On an unrelated note, you know it's a good long weekend when the cops slow down and point at you with their mouths hanging open. Heh.
