Briefest blurb of an update... At his point in time, I won't be hanging out at Flux tonight. I was enthusiastic of the prospect yesterday but I've spent the entire last day of my vacation performing favors for other people while being forced to leave no time for myself. In the rush to set-up a wireless network, de-bug two computers, pay someone else's library fines...

Uhhhh....food....coma...setting...in.... alienprincess and I just got back from a cook-out at my parents. Tons of food for just a slight handful of people, far fewer than I'd expected. With that much good grub staring at you, it approaches being a culinary double-dare. I made a variant of greek cucumber and onion salad...one with plum tomatoes and a cilantro-yogurt dressing. AP's mom and sister came out,...

Saturday morning, 11:31 AM - 5 hours 15 minutes of sleep received. ManRay was fantastic!!! I think the overriding comment or question that went along w/ the night was, "Was the trip up worth it?" That points out how silly it is to use distance as a barrier to visiting amazing friends. Whenever I feel skiddish or have to use that as a measured weight...

I'm updating briefly before heading out to FLux and catching up w/ some of my favorite SGCT'ers. Vacation so far has been pretty bland. Today I had to pop my head in at work to take a quick observed re-certification test that couldn't be rescheduled. I passed w/ flying colors but it's still something I would've rather taking while working, not while I'm specifically not...

I think work could've ended on a better note but, I am now vacating...this being my vacation and all. Work consisted of 14.5 hours of watching the clock, waiting for 11pm to strike. The first half I was along side a new staffperson who seems to be working out well. He volunteers for tons of hours, is genuinely engaged about what goes on with our...

The quickest of quick entries before I speed off into the morning... The word of this hour is: hangover. I attended Hott Love & The Swaggerts at Cafe Nine last night. I got out of work an hour+ early and thought I'd steal my woman's bike, ride the five or six blocks to the bar. I felt mildly self-conscious about riding up on pedals rather...

We's back... Got in a li'l while ago after a great deal of driving, thankfully not to be repeated anytime soon. Lots of abstract phone call and message retrieving, either touching base w/ housesitting siblings or checking comments and emails.

The weekend will be one gigantic stream of work and nothing but... Tomorrow I expect to work 12 hr; Saturday 12 hrs and Sunday 13...

For the past 3-4 weeks, I've pestered into attending a party tonight. I knew it would meant finding coverage the day before I go on vacation. My group home's residents wouldn't take well to the disruption, either. I sped through the shift, getting everything completed two hours ahead of schedule. I find someone willing to work that last chunk of shift and come in at...

It seems my spotty memory has played tricks on me again... I had originally believed I was going to Cape Cod w/ alienprincess next Monday through Thursday. Last night she broke it to me that no, it's this Monday. Luckily with my work schedule, I have nearly every Monday through Thursday off.

Granted to do so will involve working like three 12 or 13 hour...

"What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love. Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. A saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the...
