xmas pittures :)

finally, a vacation.

i woke up at 5am this morning and was unable to go back to sleep. i feel nervous about something; or anxious; or just plain exhausted. i'm so tired of 9-5, sit-in-front-of-a-monitor poo. i need a creative break.

its absolutely beautiful here today, so i'm going to try to play outside a bit.

i had a good weekend.

friday night was our holiday party at Jeffrey's, a ritzy restaurant. That was fun; we got to get
all dressed up and get drunk on wine :)

Saturday was rainy and gross all day, so Jess and I stayed in; we did our christmas presents and were just generally cozy. She got me some great plugs and all sorts of other things; she's the best at presents. Then we made an amazing dinner; I grilled a big ole steak :) and some bean curd.

"Slept in" this morning, all the way to 9. Go me.

jess and i made cookies :)

Boston public is one of the only television shows I've ever really appreciated. Yeah, it has the David Kelley genericism, but it also has a truth; it has passion which just isnt evident in my life. I need to be passionate; i need to care so badly about a cause. I don't have that cause; they have it in teaching. I know real teachers don't have that; god knows my teachers never cared that much. But to care - to absolutely be moved to care - it pushes my emotions even in a television show. Imagine - imagine - in real life.

To dream.

There must be something in the air. I'm totally wired today. I feel like my whole body is alive with energy; it's totally bizzare, because yesterday I was a big mope. Even though I'm getting sick and the my eyes feel like the pressure from the air is melding them to my skull, i feel totally full of good energy.

I attribute it entirely to the 22 pages of The Fountainhead that I re-read last night.

Before I fell asleep.

At 8:45pm.

I had to switch smallbear.org to another webhost; my old one decided to go down without any notice/contact.

It's been raining all weekend and its starting to smell like "damp". Lots of thunder, which really scares the cat.

Today is a nice sunday. Tacos for breakfast, some dorky web surfing, then off to the gym and some writing / reading / drawing.
