[cubicle 20B, san francisco]
no music again

home stretch
Thursday means i'm over the hump and i'm home free by the end of tomorrow, yay! I'm sipping my tea and i'm writing my blog here at work because I've hit a standstill and can't progress until things out of my hands go through. So, my boss tells me to surf the net for an hour or so until she finds something for me to do, excellent. :o)

you should never point your finger at crazy people
I saw "girl, interrupted" last night at pammy's house because i wanted to know why Angelina Jolie got an oscar. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and I'm very impressed by ms. jolie's performance; i loved her character.

oh so lively
I wasn't prepared to see my spare time disappear when i started working. Sure, 40 hour job, but school was a 32 hour week plus 10 hours a week at Todai and i still had time to bum around. The commute to and from SF on bart, however, really cuts down on fun times. I get home at 6:30pm and go straight to the gym then i've only got about 2-3 hours to shower, eat and get ready for the next day. Argh, no time allotted for skateboarding. I'm getting a lot better at it too, i mean, i'm not a pro and i don't intend to be, but i'm slowly losing my fear of it and i really want to kick ass so i can get around campus without being all scared of making an ass out of myself.

command
I have these plans, you see. Somehow i will live my dreams. I don't really care about money, experiences are more important to me, but ironically enough, i still need to go on the stupid paperchase so i can have the resources to live in europe and therefore date a beautiful italian model named Giovanni; it's all part of the plan, you see? hehe. In any case, i don't care for a wealthy lifestyle, i want a fulfilling and enriching lifestyle--I want to see the 7 wonders of the world (okay, no, i don't know what all 7 are, but i'd bet they'd kick a lot of ass), i want to go on a safari, i want to learn portuguese and italian and live in nyc's greenwich village and be a photographer.

Yes, i know the plan doesn't seem plausible, but lately my guiding principle is that one can do anything one sets his mind to. Yeah yeah, your response is most probably "How cheesy can you get?" I know it's something we've all heard before, but i believe in it whole heartedly. Besides, it doesn't hurt to try, and so far, trying new things has only benefitted me [except for the bruise from skating ;o) ]. At least i have that elusive blue light to reach for (a vague reference to a phrase in "the Great Gatsby"). Wouldn't it be terrible not to be able to dream?
