Not much to say, still, but abarat asked me for an update, so here it is

I got my ass handed to me at work these past two weeks. I was at the office at 4 am a few times, and some days I just worked non-stop, juggling. I did hit a home run, though, because I figured out a way to solve a problem...

Oh, how kind you are for gracing us with an update appearance. Oh, you're soooo busy. Like the rest of us aren't. Like I sit home all day eating Fritos, smoking butts, and watching Jerry Springer. Like I dont work, we all dont work, you're the only guy with a job to do. Oh, am I busting your balls? My sincere apologies. wink hahaha

Good luck at work you corporate bastard.

On to happier topics. nothing much to report. I have been insanely busy, so things tend to dry up in the news department.

I did get to hang out with lulukittyfoo, which was cool. She introduced me to her favorite bar, and how can you not like a woman who likes her Guinness.

I keep wondering what the boy that I was would see in the man I became, but I think that he would actully see himself, just a bit wiser and more worn for use.

Invariably, though, my thoughts turn to the one person I wish was still here, but she is gone. I miss stitting in her apartment and getting a little buzz together, I...

Your sad. frown
I'll write later then. -.a

I don't think you sound very sad. Nostalgic and actually a bit proud, I think. What a radiant picture, despite the context.

Atlanta and I are having serous disagreements. I think we may need to break up sometime. It won't be soon, but this is clearly a marriage of convenience, and Chicago and NYC are mistresses I cannot leave be.... SF is alluring too... we'll see.

The bitch is that I like my job. It is a great firm, and they did sponsor my visa, so I...

Ennui

I cannot say that things are not good, but I am not a big fan of emotionally flat periods of time.

I did learn that there is a good possibility that I will be going to london for a couple of weeks sometime after the end of February. Looking forward to it. My best friend is also moving there, so maybe we can do...

Looooong day. Seems like everything is due immediately. I don't really mind because work keeps my mind occupied, but I am a wee bit tired.

Funniest Law and Order line ever:

Olivia (hot cop): Do you have any idea why someone would sodomize you husband with a banana?

Widow: He was allergic to bananas; he would break out in hives all over.


And now, a gripe.

Dear Law and Order writers: Why the hell every time you depict BDSM on your show there is something fucked up with it? I...

At peace, yet the familiar unease between myself and peacefulness intertwines itself in my evening and reminds me that it is against my nature not to want to bridge the gap between myself and another. Whereas weeks ago I was in a tailspin, I am reminded of a time when I drove through Nebraska: I am moving towards the place where I want to be,...

No no no silly rabbit. Morphine is given intravenously. The bag is hung, wired through the electronic pump and the plastic box surrounding the hanging bag is closed and locked. Because we care about the comfort and safety of our patients. (the truth is that an alarming number of people suffering with constant pain do crazy things. Addiction is common. pain sucks.) On that note, have a fantastic evening.
laceyk:
LOL! I like that you only believe horoscopes when they are positive! Very good outlook on life!

Yay to the 13 hour day... and that was after getting up at 4 am and studying for the bar. At least I was in hypermediocrity's most excellent IM company.

I think I need to crash for a bit. I kow I'll be up in a couple of hours, but my brain is tired.
abarat:
No I did not take them with a really tiny camera!!!!!!! I am working on solving the problem of the microscopic pics!!! ha ha ha

As a rule of thumb, on should never drink scotch in the morning.

I am glad I am not a thumb... all those rules must drive them crazy when all the other fingers are free to do whatever they want.

Guess who just got a raise?

I had a fucking great day... felt like a real attorney (FINALLY!) actually solving problems and taking responsibility for stuff and running around at a million miles an hour and delegating stuff to others. It still blows my mind that I have an assistant. Too bad she is not like Maggie Gyllenhaal in the movie, but she is so...
