sweet.  nice pulsating head-about-to-explode feeling.

i'd like my old cold from two days ago,  please.

thank you, santa.

excellent. 

even better than 511.org.  please add the bayarea soon!

So my girlfriend was running an errand downtown yesterday,  and she swung by my office and brought me lunch.   Tasty sandwiches from Lo Cubano.  She is so sweet.  And I am very, very, lucky.......

I'm alive. Seriously.  I am finally recovering from a cold which i've been battling with the past couple of weeks.  I tend not to get sick that often,  but when I do it lasts longer than it should. I don't let a silly cold stop me from going out and enjoying this wonderful city.  Case in point....

On Friday night,  I surprised my girlfriend with dinner at acme chophouse and then we saw cirque du soleil: corteo.  I was very impressed with the production.  The music....characters. (was the whistler performing from mozart's magic flute?) ..the spectacle.   It reminded me of seeing Phantom in London,  except with acrobatics.   Saturday night,  we dropped by a party for a bit and then went out to see Walk the Line.  Amazing movie which is sure to battle Spielberg's "Munich" for awards at next year's Oscars.  And finally,  Sunday night,  we hit the Fillmore for the Academy Is / All American Rejects show.  I was more impressed with "Academy Is" but i've been listening to their cd for months now,  so I was more familiar with their music even though they weren't the headlining band. 

See what I mean about not slowing down,  even when i'm feeling under the weather?  Thankfully I took the day off on Monday,  which gave me time to unwind from my non-stop weekend. 

Hm.. I realize my title underlining/italicizing/quoting is probably not correct,  but i'm too lazy to go dig out my copy of Strunk and White.  =)

Hopefully i won't be too swamped at work tomorrow,  but if I do get stressed,  I can always stop and think about how everything else in my life is just perfect right now.  That always makes me smile. 

I have been fighting a cold all week.  It even knocked me out so badly where I called in sick on Wednesday.  I think i'll use that as my excuse for not blogging.  I have a busy weekend ahead of me.....a concert on sunday,  a party on saturday night,  and various unmentionable fun plans for friday which i won't go into detail here,  to not ruin any potential surprises. =)

i have a ton of things to be thankful for this year,  but one in particular doesn't seem to ever leave my mind.

of course if one of these mirrors breaks,  i'd think they'd be getting a lot more than seven years.....

its late,  no capital letters and there will be tons of improper grammar in this blog.  deal.

my apartment is 8 million degrees,  due to this heat wave going through san fnancisco.

it was an evening of highs and lows,  blood-sugar wise.....

i'm scared to death i'll fuck things up,  but yet i know that this
won't happen.  sometimes you truly need to trust yourselfr and
then have faith that things will ultimately turn out for the
best. 

as for my health? today wasn't the best....sniffling all day,  a
blood sugar spike,  and a slightly embarassing situation which is
still boggling my mind.  i won't go into detail here.

i'm very sleepy though....its time for me to go to bed. 

I haven't set up the stand yet (and moved the old one out) but as you can see, my new tv is slightly larger than my old one.  And the picture quality (unlike my camera phone) is stunning.  If only TiVo made a DVR capable of recording high-def.....

awesome show.
