Leaving SG. I just don't got here very often.

It was lovely to see the stories, community, the interactions. But I've changed. And so has the site.

(Booked an adventure to Costa Rica with a lovely gal, forgoing a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos with the family)

So long and thanks for all the flesh. Err, fish.

Booked a flight to CUZ for March to see my sister.

Yes, I do need to adventure every three to four months.

I skipped Christmas.

I bought 5.25 gallons of paint on Dec 23 and went crazy on my apartment. Ran out of tape on Dec 24 after the stores had closed. Lots of colors to my bedroom and front room. I like to say that painting means that I will be leaving in six months; but to come to SG is to remember that I am...

Panama was marvelous. Now for my next trick at avoiding SAD...

As it sounds like our part of the Cayman Islands is still underwater, I am going to Panama. Early December.

Compromising sucks. Compression is better. Or at least, decreased degrees of freedom mean less thrashing.

Why is it difficult to find non-crazy, pretty, female Dog-People?

My feet are covered in blisters. Serves me right for running a 5k in sneakers I was given -- used at the time -- by my cross-country coach when I was a freshman... in high school. I felt better doing this race this year over last year. My time was not great, but still a 1:20 improvement over last year. Ironically (considering the amount of...

The pressure is coming. When I meet people and ask what I do, I say I'm starting a company. I keep up that mantra to keep me motivated. And it is infectious. We're now 4 people. It is a great team. The latest guy -- a best friend from my freshman year of highschool, and remarkable salesman -- and I just drove a moving truck...

I like the expediency that comes with a looming trip. Despite that I will only be out of the country for 11 days, it manages to feel noteworthy to people and to be a logistic impediment. I certainly go 11 days between entries here or to my real journal.

Perhaps it is the loss of the comforting electronic leash I've blanketted myself in. Right now,...

In the vein of continuing to introduce myself, it is worth noting that I play Ultimate (frisbee). I am dangerously on the cusp, not between "playing ultimate to get fit" and "getting fit to play ultimate" but "ultimate is a dominanting characteristic of my social life". I am not there yet, although I can not say it might not be an improvement. But I am...

This week was an emotional rollercoaster. I met two new ideal sounding (tall trim stubborn independent) ladies. One was exciting until we actually met, the other was more exciting upon meeting. Both seemed to have failed to obtain sufficient friction to be more than ships passing. Radio silence post-contact sucks. I feel all the worse for the one time I let inertia prevent me from...

Apparently, I will not be updating this as frequently as I hoped. I guess I have enough trouble with my more conventionally hosted blog, it should have been obvious.

I'll continue to my Introduction, at a higher level.

Here is a translation of the "рассказ о себе" ("story about myself") I told at my russian oral final on Thursday:
Hello. Let's get acquainted. My name...
