useful day
Tuesday, 12 September 2006 11:32 pmI think today was well-seized.
melted_snowball is in bed, and I'm headed that direction very soon.
This morning while I was writing my prior week's report for $boss, I came up with a few crazy ideas that had been percolating over the last few weeks. When we met, he liked them. I hope they pan out.
kraig, you get to find out first.
The day seemed quite long; but not in a bad way at all. I kept finishing things and saying, "isn't it 5 o'clock yet? Oh, only 3? Weird," and so on, every 30 minutes or so. I wasn't bored, nor hyper-alert, nor over-caffeinated, nor particularly hit by NADD, just a bit more efficient than usual. Go, me.
When 5:30 finally did roll around, I biked home in the rain, which would've been fun except I realized I was running a bit late. And they went and moved one of the paths again, due to that darned sewer construction.
I got home and hopped in the car to pick up pizza before City Cafe closed. I took what I thought was the safe route, but it wasn't. But it was "closed" and passable-through-huge-piles-of-dirt, not closed-as-in-deep-hole-and-exposed-street-innards. I got to City Cafe before they closed, and they had just one pizza left. It was unlabeled.
I asked if it was chicken-pesto. John whipped open the top... and it was indeed. A lucky man, was I.
And he gave me a defective butter tart. Mmmmm. (Defective tarts don't have calories, don'tcha know?)
And I remembered to buy coffee while I was there.
And I managed to get half the butter tart home for dan, even though it kept trying to leap off the pizza box into my lap. Mmmm gooey lap-tart.
The evening was more sedate, at least for me. After a quick meal
melted_snowball managed to go to chorus rehearsal even though he had been teaching at 8:30 this morning. (How'd he do it? I'm not certain.)
Meanwhile, I watched Princess Mononoke (meh. more review later) and installed Windows (ick) in a virtual environment on my mac.
And... wow, we're going to Boston in two and 1/2 days. I'm excited!
