    I was into work later than usual in order to catch up on the lack of sleep last night. Moderately busy day, a couple of meetings. I headed over to Kelly’s after work. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we walked over to Harry’s Tap Room for dinner where I had the tequila shrimp dish,…

  • Out of this world

    02 May 2008 » 1 min read

    Eventually, I fell asleep last night. At some point, I had a rather remarkable dream. I was standing on some other planet (perhaps the moon, but I don’t think so). The Earth rose above the horizon casting a bluish light across the sky. It was close enough to make out the continents and oceans and…

    Still awake. This is infuriating.

    For the first time in a long time, I simply can’t sleep. I’m tired, but I toss and turn. After a while, I give up. Now, I’m back to watching episodes of The West Wing.

  • Ten years ago today

    Quoted here, from my diary, without comment: Saturday, May 1, 1998 — I think that I decided that I want to be an astronaut today. I know that sounds odd, especially since I’m already 26 years old and “grown up”. But I was browsing some of NASA’s web today and found their astronaut candidate program…

    Kelly put on Futurama (the movie) last night around 8 PM and tried as I might, I couldn’t make it through it. I fell asleep something like 40 minutes into the thing. When we finally went to bed, we were kept up by the noise of moving furniture in the next apartment. Given that it…

  • Hump day

    01 May 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    Up at 4:20 AM. Since I had Kelly’s car (from the weekend), I drove into work this morning and got there right at 5 AM. I was still tired, but I started working right away, and except for an abbreviated lunch break, I worked straight through. I actually felt pretty good about what I managed…

  • Graveyard shift

    It’s been a long day. It started at midnight, when I got up in order to do a server upgrade. All told, that took 4 hours and I finally got back to bed between 4 and 5 AM. I slept for an hour and a half or so before getting up again, grabbing breakfast and…

  • Make-up day

    Kelly and I got back to Washington early this morning, around 1 AM. It was raining when I left or L.A. and it was raining when I returned. I stayed at Kelly’s last night and got home this morning. I worked from home today because (a) I got in so late last night and (b)…

  • And yet even more food

    28 Apr 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    We got to sleep in this morning, which was nice. Kelly’s friends picked us up around 10 AM and we drove to a quaint little place for brunch where I tried to wreak havoc on the strawberry pancakes and failed. It was really nice meeting Kelly’s friends and I had a good time at brunch.…
