"Only I wasn't steering anything, not even myself. I just bumped from my hotel to work and to parties and from parties to my hotel and back to work like a numb trolleybus. ... I felt
very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

"On the surface, it sounds irresponsible, but to flourish in a rapidly changing world, you actually need to make more mistakes. Fail quickly. Fail often. If you do something and it
doesn't work, just recover in a hurry and try something else. ... Help develop a culture that is willing to fail its way to the future."
-- Price Pritchett, Culture Shift |

"There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction -- every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and that excitement at about a million miles an hour."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

| nothing like a friday |
| Friday, June 26, 2009 |
Friday, to me, is one of the most promising days of the week. In particular, it's the promise of a nice weekend that gets my attention. :) I had tried to get some people together for the drive-in tomorrow night, but that didn't materialize because everyone had so much to do already. One guy's out of town, too, so we'll try it when he gets back. Also, next week is a four-day week, and that's never a bad thing.
Today was kind of an allergy day, so I'm going to call it a night here pretty quick. I had planned on rearranging my bedroom tonight so that the desktop is on one power strip and the DSL modem and wireless router are on quite another, but that won't happen until tomorrow either; I want to be able to unplug the computer in bad weather without losing the option of getting online via wireless. That way, if anything gets fried by lightning, it'll be a $50 router instead of a $600 desktop.
sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep..........
