i just don't know how i'm going to keep up this week. i thought, before i started school, that i was one busy mo-fo. and i was. it's just that the after-work business was important, but didn't take on the same weight as school does. and my current awareness of "work load" has less to do with the amount of work i have to do, rather the time it takes up in my life. i'm just kinda tired already.
i think it's the excessive reading. reading tires me out. i'd rather be 'doing' things and i actually look forward to statistics homework for that reason.
i'm still excited about school, though. it's my job that is wearing me out. i have two HUGE meetings to prepare for which should take all of my 17.5 hours a week there, but on top of that i have to train not one, but TWO people. when the hell am i supposed to have time to do that??
end bitch session.
things that made me very happy today:
1. i fixed my computer thanks to my friend rrrus! (it was very easy)
2. my books from half.com showed up today so i can return my over-priced textbooks
3. work peeps got me a birthday cake for my birthday on sunday (mmmmm, cake!)
4. i didn't get busted for not finishing my homework due today b/c we didn't even get close to covering the reading
5. i ate annie's mac & cheese for dinner
things that made me very sad today
1. $35 parking ticket. stupid, stupid, stupid. i shake my fist at you, oh parking clerk!
2. waking up at 6:15 to do homework
3. the smell of my armpits midday
4. realizing just how much pressure is on me at work
5. not getting through to my dad's house (again!) so that i can wish my baby half-sister a happy belated 4th birthday!
that's it. that's all i have for you today. sometimes when i look at other blogs, i think .. wow, these people have so much to say ... so many interesting articles they've found .. so many political commentaries to give forth ... so many people to make fun of ... and then i realize they are all bored at work and i'm glad i'm not bored at work anymore ...
though i do wish i had more interesting things to report to you.
oh well, sucks for you!

everything but the monkey
just back from bruinslair ... i am such a lucky, lucky guy. that place is awesome and it feels great to have had such a hand in putting it all together. so many people don't get to experience such a place. what did i do right to deserve that?
there was a small crew this weekend, just 10 of us. me, and the ladies. swimming, hiking, napping, picking blackberries, drinking, sauna-ing, yoga-ing, campfire-ing and la-la-la-ing. the weather was perfect, the food was delish, and a good time was had by all.
i even got homework done - gasp!
of course, this all turned to shit as we drove back behind the RV-doofi (i think that's the plural form of doofus) of the world. why don't these people pull the fuck over when they know very well there are 30 cars behind them on the road? that's why they created turnouts in the first place!
and then i get home and my computer is all messed up. i'm booted off my external drive right now so i can type this very entry and to make sure the homework i did on friday was recoverable (which it is, thank god), but it still doesn't explain what i did to ruin my start up disk. i hate being ignorant about computer sys admin stuff. i mean, i can usually figure programs out pretty easily, but it's all the back door stuff that i just don't know anything about. i guess i'm not your back door man.
i say things like that and then remember that i think my family reads this stuff once and awhile. hi mom!
nothing could be more lewd than what came out of mouths this weekend though. i won't even go there.
and what's with the 90-degree weather in san francisco?? i was looking forward to coming home to a nice cold blanket of fog, but ... no ... it's a freakin' heat wave. must be "earthquake weather" ... which is what they call any weather abnormality in SF.
oh! i have a new blog reader .. welcome sonia! i came back from the weekend and actually had comments from, like, 4 people. 3 of whom i didn't know read my blog. just shows to go ya.
and i follow up this exciting news with another blatantly boring post. but, i'm tired - there was a giant beast outside my tent last night that kept me awake. i think it was a sasquatch. or a raccoon. a giant, man-eating raccoon. one or the other. i fought it off with my super snoring power quakes, though.
now i just have to convince madhavi to come and re-teach me how to make a pie crust so i can make a pie with all my hand-picked blackberries. i offered her half the pie in exchange. that's fair, i think ... even if it is my birthday next sunday and she should just show me out of the kindness of her heart (okay, i just wrote that in case she reads this).
anyway, i need to go back to sulking over the fact that my computer doesn't work right and that i have purple stains all over my hands.
i will write again soon, hopefully with a working computer and a piece of pie. mmmmm, pie.
