January 4, 2008. So far 2008 is off to a pretty good start. I'd give myself a "B" on how well I'm doing with my New Year's resolutions. Being sick as a dog hasn't helped but there's not much I can do about that (except maybe wear a hat more). I have friends visiting in February which is crazy -I just had someone visit in...

Three comments on my last entry -I think that's a record.
I'm going to take tomorrow off from work. It's been a long week that passed in slow motion agony. I'm not sure I accomplished anything. A couple of days I just dealt with incoming nonsense and didn't move any of the stuff off my desk. This is a big deal when you're a professional...

It's Sunday. I really need to go Christmas shopping. I always wait too long and then spend a fortune in shipping. Argh. I should also really go to work and try and move a few projects off my desk -during the week it seems like all I do is return emails/voicemails and attend meetings. Of course what I want to do is go see The...

When I was a teenager in NYC I used to love going to The Strand - a gigantic shrine to rare and interesting as well as ordinary used books in lower Manhattan. NYC is a great place for books in general, being a publishing center. Now I find my best books in Goodwill shops here in the DC area. In fact, that's likely what everyone in my family is getting this year.
Christmas is only good in the ways that it is good. Of course the rampant commercialism is awful. I veer away from that. I try to make gifts for people and focus on Christmas being an excuse to reunite with loved ones and friends. And to have the lovely tree and the joyous feast. If I can manage to be joyous... sometimes it ain't easy.
I'm in DC in January. Let me know if you make it here!

Why is it that I can't get anything done on Saturdays? I think my brain just refuses to function. Maybe I just need a day off after the Monday-Friday grind. Tomorrow I have to go for my Sunday run. I hate running. Now I'm trying to run four days a week. I also can't believe it's now December. I suspect that all my Christmas shopping...

When I'm Gone
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures...

I've been listening to Phil Ochs a fair bit lately. Given our current foreign adventures I'm surprised there hasn't been a renewed interest in his work. I've also been wondering more and more about whether or not I'm actually accomplishing anything or just taking up space and being a good consumer.

I'm from Nova Scotia. Its amazing. I live in Ontario right now for school purposes.
I've been listening to Phil Ochs a great deal lately. Probably not a good thing but I always hate this part of the year and I find his music oddly comforting at times like these.
What is it about unconditional love that I just can't accept?
I should be feeling much worse than I am. For that I'm strangely grateful.
Most important week of the year coming up for me. I should be worried or excited but there's been so much hype at work that I can't take it in. The letdown the week after should be interesting.
