well, it seems that i've been on a self-imposed hiatus lately.. been busy.

yesterday i bought high fidelity, classic cinema. my air conditioner is in, praise jesus. got some new books from the library, which i'm looking forward to reading.

finally got a full size bed, just like a grownup.

saw coldplay at the uic pavilion on june 9th. i can't even express what an awesome experience that was; currently my most favorite band, their stuff is just that good. gods, they are.

went to gatlinburg, tn, for a family reunion of sorts.. played with babies and spent time with my dad's side of the family. played golf for the first time in 15 years (and wasn't half bad), and hot tubbed a bunch. good stuff.

cat is fine, box of water is fine..

as far as work is concerned, i turn to one of my favorite writers, dorothy parker, who once said:
"what fresh hell is this?"

been kind of in a tough spot lately, some days are small and lonely, some days are okay. learning a lot about other people.

more to follow...patience, constant reader.
