"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 vacation |
| Wednesday, June 3, 2009 |
I wouldn't exactly call it a vacation, the problem right now is just that I am seriously unplugged at the moment and can't really write, email, blog, much of anything. At the moment I'm sitting on my sister's couch with her laptop on my... lap. I have learned much on our Texas trip so far, not the least of which is that a thumb drive doesn't do any good if you don't have a USB cable with which to siphon pics off your camera.
I had a couple other 'learned' things to add, and now I'm blanking out.
We're heading to an Astros game tonight following much pizza, and tomorrow we're heading farther north to near Austin, where we'll stay until we head home this weekend. My cousin Tyler's high school graduation is on Saturday, and I'm told my insane grandma and aunt on that side of the family are already acting up, so there should be many stories.
Hope everyone's well and having some luck during this year's 30 Days of Blog. How's it going for everyone?

i started off well, then missed a couple here and there. I think in the total count i'm 1 down, but have plenty of time to make it up. i know i already screwed up the 30 in 30 by missing days, but it's important to me to try and keep it up.
