Cold's still here, but better. Not feeling the need for quite so much sudafed to keep the sinuses in check today, more like just the normal allergies dosage. Let myself sleep in, and now I'm sipping coffee from my SF Zoo mug this morning and missing my boys out in San Francisco. And as much as I love my apartment and my neighborhood, it's times like this when I wish I'd bought a place up in northwest so it were easier to get out & about to places for things like "food".

Brought some work home this weekend, so that's what I'll be doing most of the day. The newest political in my chain of command came from the private sector (with no gubm'nt experience), so I think his expectations don't quite match the reality of being a federal attorney. He'll learn. But in the meantime I'm going to try and redo this memo such that it doesn't suck completely. 17 pages? I don't think so. 5. Maybe. Note to field counsel: footnotes and glossing are your friends, especially with a busy management chain.

Anyway, off to go give y'all more gubm'nt than you're willing to pay for.

--Taking yet another day (mostly) off from work. Not because I'm tired from vacation, but mostly because I've only got one appointment this morning and I don't feel like waiting around for other people to call in.....so we're going to go see Harry Potter, and then wander over to the bar where they're attempting a DC version of that "Showtunes" thing they do in Chicago. We'll see.

--I've been back to my weird dreams. Last night we had a little Korean woman as a neighbor and she was in some kind of trouble with some sort of Korean mobster who was insisting that she marry him. So she somehow convinced me that she and I could have a fake marriage....and somehow marrying me would throw him off. Yes, because I'm that threatening. So I spent a week learning all kinds of bizarre marriage rituals, met her family, learned that they hated me, fumbled my way through the wedding....and woke up to go pee.

Off to my one rubbin'!

Happy birthday bulldogcubnj and jeffdintexas!!
I hope you guys have a great one!

Here are some pics from last Saturday's party for jeffdintexas! I had to take a picture of the phallic symbols in the gift card. LOL!



More pics in the set.

I love when the body decides it's time to slow down. Took today off from work to recuperate from a head cold that's currently driving me nuts. The down time did give me time to finish up the last sock and start a new pair (I'll take pictures later), and get the laundry done (clean sheets!), but otherwise it's just been annoying (mainly because of the excess snot being produced now).

Did figure out patient zero this evening - a friend I saw out at a party on Saturday evening had something similar, and since the symptoms cropped up Sunday, that seems to be the likely vector. So far I don't seem to have it as bad as he did, and am keeping my fingers crossed that it won't get worse. Last night was the usual sleepless night, so should be on the upside soon.

Hopefully it'll die off soon so I can get back to training. One month until the next race and I'm completely unprepared at this point.

yes last night picked up a guy named freddy and went to the club with him. had a good time and so totally wanted to steal a kiss while at the club but chickened out everytime.
he talked about getting a ride from a friend so he walked me to my car and i told him i really wanted to kiss him inside and he blushed saying i should have.
well i went home, got undressed and got in bed, sent him a text message thinking his phone was off and that he was going to get my message in the morning. to my surprise he responded saying he made a mistake and should have left when i did.
i offered and he asked so i got dressed and went back and picked him up. this time i wasnt going to miss out on my second chance of getting a kiss so i got a good little makeout in the parking lot then drove him home. kissed a bit more then watching him walk back to his place. :) i got a second chance at kissing him and wasnt going to miss it the second time so i didnt chicken out YAY me ! :D

This weekend is Otacon in Baltimore, which I will be attending.

I was wondering if anyone else is going. I'm not too big on anything other than video games and a few manga\animes. It would be cool to meet up with other con-goer and have some company, maybe grab lunch or dinner as a group. Really though what I am looking for is a dance partner(s) for the raves\dances. Preferably someone to play Capoeira with. =:) I didn't get to post this for Animeboston so I'd thought I take a moment now.

I am not looking for anything romantic or freaky deeky. Unless you need someone to nibble on your ear while you play Magic:The Gathering =:p... This goes out to everyone on here be they chaser, cub, bear, elephant, gamer, animefan boys, webcomic whore, and sci fi geeks. We all have such wide varieties of interest so it'd be cool to get some perspective and maybe a tour of each others personal geekdom. (I'm talking to the LARPers on this one)

So yeah, hopefully I'll see some of you there!
