On the eve of Super Tuesday, I lament Oregon's 45th place in the primaries. Those of you living in states that actually get to be influential in this process, please vote. And if it's not asking too much, please vote for Obama. biggrin

I think the first two times I went to brunch, I actually ordered a regular meal. But now I just order a tiny side dish, usually the diced potatoes. Including tip it is $3!

I know it makes me look like I'm anorexic, but the truth is that I'm really Just That Cheap.

I love seeing people but I haaaaaaate paying for restaurant food when I have a kitchen full of groceries (which is where most of my money goes in the first place)

I always did like you. wink

Fuck, it's freezing outside. 25 degrees is not a temperature that motivates me to go to work. Why can't it just snow already so this town will shut down and I can go back to bed?

Ha! I wish it would snow here in London. If you're lucky you'll get roughly one or two days of snow a year.

You can send your snow-clouds to me if you want?

P.s. I wish we got snow days >_<
obd:
Still wishing for snow days? Some things never change. wink

I'm not one to begrudge anyone their workout time, but when I drive my ass to the gym after work, and can't find a single parking space in a four-level garage or outside, I hate all of the other members of 24 Hour Fitness. Every. Single. One. Of. You. mad

In other news, my alma mater / current workplace is not having a good time in...

Okay, I didn't even drink that much last night and I've felt out of it all day. I can't imagine what the rest of you must have felt like. At least I know now to plan one bottle of champagne per guest. Good times indeed.

Happy 2008 everyone! kiss

We've returned from Eureka. It hardly seemed like we were gone, the days went by so quickly. It was a great visit with the fam, and although the weather pretty much sucked the whole time, it didn't matter. The sun was out on the drive down, so EnergyChannel got some beautiful shots of the sun over the ocean near sunset.

The drive back yesterday was...

Goos to hear you made it home safe and sound. That drive can surely suck.

Play in the snow for me if you can.
obd:
that sounds like a good holiday.

Thankfully, my rapidly receding cold did not keep us from two holiday parties last night. We first hit up the SGPDX party at the always lovely atomicant's house. We got to hang with many of SGPDX's finest, and gobbled down every bit of food that was laid in front of us. Due to the cold, I stuck with ice water, but you guys drinking...

Day three of calling in sick. Sorry, workplace. I promise I'm not a slacker, I just now have a sniffly, achy, and crackly voice that nobody should have to hear. Plus, as a bonus I apparently look like death warmed over! Yay me.

I was so hopeful today, too. I woke up early, took a shower, even dried the hair. Then I sat down and...

Why is my immune system so grinchy?



That made me giggle. Hope you're feeling better.

Ugh. Woke up with a sore and congested throat. This does not bode well.

I distinctly remember that I got sick this time last year, too. Right before we left for Eureka. Looks like I'm a few days ahead of schedule, since we don't leave until next Friday.

Come on, Emergen-C. Do your thing.

I called in sick today, so hopefully staying home one day...

That weekend sure went by quickly. Saturday was spent catching up with friends we hadn't seen in awhile, and staying up way too late playing Monopoly of all things! My first game since exiting childhood, and unlike back then, I didn't try to bribe people to keep playing with me. As is wont to happen with Monopoly, we started out with 5, and never did...

I've been wanting to update this for awhile now, but found that the longer I delayed, the less I had to say. I always think of things while I'm at work, and logging onto a site with naked ladies would be noticed and likely frowned upon. Although my boss likes the music I play, so that's better than nothing, I guess.

It's hard to believe...

I hope that tour is going south, not north. If it's going north, I've probably missed it?

Oh shit, is brunch this Sunday? I will try to be there! I was bummed to miss the last one, but I had work I had to do.

Looking back, I see that I haven't written an actual journal that didn't involve lolcats in quite awhile. I waste all of my brain cells at work, then on the couch watching TV. Someday I'll have a brain again and I'll write a real journal. But for now, Boondocks is on the DVR.

See some of you local folk at brunch on Sunday?
