finale

And it's done. I just quit my job. Without another lilypad to jump to.

I'm excited and, how you say, shit-scared.

Cue the fireworks.

Oh no they DI'INT!!!!

I saw this sign while our shuttle got us lost in Redwood City/Menlo Park.

LadyPartsAuto.

Lady. Parts. Auto.

Tear.

Overheard

At the coffeshop, I overhear an older guy talking to a woman about her LARGE dog parked outside. She says that she is a rescue, and he turns to her and says, 'We're all rescues." He nods to his wife and continues, "There's my rescuer."

Sigh.

Social commentary?

I heard each of the following songs TWICE while driving around LA:

• "Welcome to the Jungle" - GNR
• "Midnight Train to Georgia" - Gladys Knight and the Pips ( LA proved too much for the man/ He couldn't make it/ So he's leaving the life he's come to know)
  
• "Friends in Low Places" - Garth Brooks

And, yes - I listened to each one. In full. Twice.

I decided to get a new cell phone. Here's the new #

Notice how every non area code digit is prime....

Oh man, I loves me the math geeks!

Snippet: automotive

Curling up on the sofa post-workout, I feel my muscles pop and twitch, like the engine of a car recently turned off - settling to rest.

Snippet: Inhale

In the moment just before truly waking, you can hear your own breathing: it's rhythm and depth, the evenness of it. And then, awareness floods: who you are, where you are, what day of the week it is, what time you have to be up, what tasks you have scheduled for the day.

Note to self:

When you're feeling a little down, Portishead is not a good idea.
