So, our gym bought another gym that has an outdoor pool which is the best! The only downside is rec swim is only for 1.5 hours a day 3 days of the week (and longer hours on the other four days). So pleasant.

Punishingly Intricate

Duly noted, lisah. When's your birthday again

8/26!!

I ran into am old co-worker today and found out that my former company lost the contract I was working under and had to let a bunch of people go (including him). Yikes. Glad I got out when I did. I sent him a link to my new company's job page.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes is right -- you made a good call, lisah.

Just had nice dinner with family (uncle and aunts and one cousin), AND got an invite to spend the night after fireworks on the beach next weekend, so that's good.

Compassionately intolerant

100% anti-embarrassment. Mine or anyone else's. Can barely stand to watch it on television.

I'm Zen in this.

I can't even bear slapstick movies.

Humiliation is why I don't watch most comedies on TV.

Ugh, stayed up too late last night reading, so I slept most of the day away and missed the farmer's market. I did manage to catch this year's cheesy Hallmark movie starring Kavan Smith, and found out at dinner tonight that the sushi place down the street where I'm a regular (but not enough of one, apparently) is closed for remodeling the next couple of months, with tonight being the last night. No more volcano rolls for me until autumn.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Someone at work just texted me "The Orion is always there." wtf. I guess I've been accidentally included in the seekrit plans. Soon someone will show up to kill me for knowing too much.

Today's mental debate: I'm taking the train to Maine tomorrow. The fastest way to get to that train is the commuter rail, but it only gives me 10 minutes to transfer. The commuter rail is notoriously unreliable. Do I take the longer route and give myself plenty of time?

Take the longer route, Jesse. Unless there's another Maine train later.

I had kind of a shitshow of an evening--was going out with three friends. Two are a couple. Well, one had just hooked up with someone new so she disappeared with that girl early on. And the other two friends got totally drunk and had a fight. And I looked at the block long line to get into the lesbian bar (I had paid the $25 cover already as part of a weekend pass) and said fuck it, and went home before 11pm. Sad.
