it's about to get...

very hairy again. actually--it's been sort of hairy this month--end of the 3rd quarter and all that. so we're trying to make company goals, etc. and i feel very stretched for time and for some reason--i'm feeling very unaccomplished. i think i'm experiencing a mass load of even higher expectations than usual just because i made the entire goal my last goal cycle. so now i'm feeling like i have no choice but to ALWAYS make it. and that's silly--since the goals change slightly all the time. but there you have it. i feel like i'm not doing enough.

coming up:

--a week for expo east in boston
--a weekend in boston for the veggie food festival
--2 trips to the hamptons
--joy's birthday extravaganzaaaaaa
--and a ton of errands that i've been putting off that need to be done--namely--i should really get my new york license soon...like...yeah. i really should...and it's time to go get that usb modem from verizon. this sketchy internet i'm siphoning from someone really sucks. and i need to get a new laundry bag and sheet set. and so many other things that i've neglected to do for so long now. argh.

~~~

has anyone noticed that ALL the new teen shows that have come out (namely on the cw) are about evil rich kids?

i mean--yeah, reality sort of sucks right now--and as an adolescent--there's no doubt the outlook is usually sucky at best--but...is this beyond escapism?

it scares me a little. i mean--if you have people so afraid to face the truth of reality--then perhaps they'll vote mccain because they don't want to face up to the truth--cause once you wake up and face the truth--you can't ignore the ills anymore--you actually feel obliged to start fixing things. and working hard is like anathema to most people.

and there are so many other reasons people will refuse to vote for obama already. blah.

~~~

also, i have decided against going home for thanksgiving. i think i will look to go somewhere else--maybe a nice weeklong driving adventure along the coast? anyone keen?

I am joining several of my friends for a refugee Thanksgiving at my friend Jeff's condo. I have gone west two times since May and seen almost all my family both times (no Dan once, no cousins once). Plus it is freaking expensive. Getting to Jeff's condo involves a bus or a train or maybe a zip car. You can come thanksgive with us!

sounds fun--and refugee is right up my alley you know! hehe.

thanks for the offer--i'll let you know! i may at least come for a weekend or something. i've got a few other friends i can visit if i go there--so it's a very real possibility!

hey herman, well. i was going to go for a week--but no one is going to be around for the most part until the day of thanksgiving/day before--so it's like a waste of money since the flight i found leaves the day after thanksgiving...sooooo, you know. when are you guys planning on heading up for thanksgiving?
