excuse my ignorance, but is 420 pot? why 420?

thanks for the map. it looks like the train goes to sunnyvale and then you can get a van say if you worked at sun for example. it's right next door to apple. yes, the apple!

well, it's a commute that tons of people do, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone I know. but then, you are more/better a driver than I.
short answer not bad, yes (cal trans), no (but it gets ugly...)

how hard a commute would cupertino be from sf? is there some sort of transit? would it be an impossible drive?

me I'm watching too much tv. made me sadder than shit. but then moley grabbed my attention and we had a nice ramble through the neighborhood.

she couldn't believe the liquor store was closed (treat happy store -- if we walk by and don't stop, they come out and throw treats at us. needless to say, moley loves them). we wandered, I followed, I cried a bit. it was good. she even remembered the store where the guy insisted on giving her cold cuts. new owners tho, so no luck for moley.

nice night for a strange sad walk. cold foggy surreal night. with the real drinkers out having their monday hangover cures, and people behaving oddly and interrupting my vision jaggedly. odd night.

dunno if it's harder with a pet, just know it's gonna be a case of that naked eyes song for awhile.

ewee, welcome back to the land online. it's nice to hear your rants again. damn the healthy thoughts for the holidays, too. i say if you gotta be healthy all the time, what fun is it anyway? don't feel too bad about shopping at the gap, a pair o' pants or a stripy shirt here and there isn't going to wreck anyone's life. i've been a lot happier since i decided a few months ago to be less politically correct. plus i have some exciting polyester clothes (ooo synthetics).

i was worried that moley had taken a serious turn for the worse when i hadn't heard from you for some time. i was about to e-mail you. i'm happy to hear that she's hanging in there and still has her happy face on as much as she can. i agree with you, take some cues from her and relish what you have. i've been thinking about this lately, in some ways it's harder to see a pet through this than a person - you've got to have all the pain for the two of you, 'cause she can't really know what's going on in the same way you do. with a person, i guess it's more mutual, you're both sad. i don't know, i could be way off base here...

anyway, what works to get through the holidays? family in small measured doses to keep the guilt at bay? long walks? lots of good friends? give yourself lots of time, lots of downtime, lots of peace if you can. i'm trying to make soap for everyone with toys in it, and the craftiness is fun and cathartic (i think that's the word). i think i'm gonna print out some of your gift wrap for it...

banjo boy had a couple of my books and a cd jewel case which i found shoved through my cat door tonight (i started locking the back door after the kinko's receipt incident). i mean the bag was halfway across the kitchen floor. i think he has so much hostility towards me or anger somehow (frustration at his own ability to express himself?), but doesn't have any idea how to express it. fuck 'im though, it's not my job to figure him out. i don't need that.

if you get a chance, see billy elliott. i didn't see charlie's angels, but i did see unbreakable, which was sixth sense with some different characters. dancer in the dark was incredible and depressing. if that's the kind of thing that works for you to take your mind off shit (it is for me), then do it. take a day off work, call in sick (mental health counts!!!).

ok, enough rambling. glad to hear from you again ewee!

blogvoices
thinking about going full blogger for my ramblings from here on out. blogvoices is a good argument for it. I'll give it a shot here first, and then migrate this all over to the home page. maybe. blogvoices is brought to you by chrish (of wwbbd fame).

edward tufte
spent yestereday in an all day workshop absorbing as much as I could about information design. the rigors and structure of tufte's ideas presented exactly the mind food I needed after a week of anxiety and stress.

for those of you who aren't familiar with him, check out this salon article.

blah
tired out today. not sure what exactly -- probably a bit run down and sad/scared over the whole work thing. trying not to panic, but also finding it hard not to be down today. thinking about the naproom, but also thinking that I need to just caffeinate and focus. mebbe it's just the weather and fatigue.

if you feel you *must* forward emails, do a little research first:
both about.com and korova.com have pretty good listings of net hoaxes and scams. snopes.com is great for urban legends, and deja.com is a good place to check and see if people are writing in about an email that's circulating (and to find out if you should be worried or not). If you can't be bothered to verify the information, don't forward it.

ewee you were looking for cheap hosting a while ago - this might be interesting. the web site design is kind of cheesy, but it got really good reviews from several people on alt.geek.

so i told my boss last night about my impending move. not in an "official" way but in a friend way, sitting in the cafe at yankee candle. she agreed to be sworn to secrecy and is very happy for me. it's been sort of understood that i wouldn't be in this job forever, and that's there's not much room for advancement here, and that i need to do what i need to do. then we bonded about plans for the future. it was nice.

i'm a st. bernard. excuse me, i have to go take a swig from that little barrel around my neck!

yay cool new computer stuff ewee! :-)
