Things seem to be slowing down here... a sure sign of summer!

I'm loving the sun and happy to be alive. Still hate my job, but eh, what would the world be like if we all loved our jobs?

Thank any deity that there's more to life than work!

I listed my signed limited edition Bowie print on eBay. I debated doing it, but it's been collecting dust for over a year now... might as well clear up some of the clutter.

I think I'm going to buy the full Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD set...

I worked from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. today, and I have to go back in from 10:00 p.m. to midnight for a meeting. Sometimes being in management sucks. Okay, most of the time!

Sometimes I feel like I'm too happy and stable to be normal. I find I get more disturbed and upset by world events than by the sucky shit in my own life. I think I have it super easy compared to others.
