retail therapy. it's dangerous.

i've been a bit stressed out the last week or so. and what have i done to deal with it? yup. gone shopping. not girlie shopping. CD shopping. i'm the proud parent of about 30 new CDs as of this afternoon. bought about 6 today, 6 or 8 yesterday, a whole handful the day before that, and some last weekend.

damn. now i need another CD rack. oh, and a personal DJ.

sadly lacking.

i have a lot of writing to do... and i had about a half dozen things i wanted to add here. i've forgotten all of them, and have no inspiration for my writing projects. it's making me sad.

my brain just feels sloggy and dumb. no, wait - it also feels embarrassed. i said a lot of stupid things last night (this is what happens when you drink with your boss).

all in all, just upsetting.

green spaces are precious.

help to protect our green spaces and manage them responsibly. check out The Charles River Conservancy; bills in front of the house now have the potential to dismember and compromise both our parkways and our park system. read about the actions, get involved.

is this an omen?

walking to work today, the quote that suddenly popped into my head was 'what fresh hell is this?' should i take that as a sign?

miss you like crazy.

damn. so not fair. i miss you like crazy. and i shouldn't. expectations are unfair things, here and now. they are the most certain way to sabotage this before we've even begun. but. but you are one of the most positive things to happen in my life in a long time. and i want to see you. i want to have just a few minutes, just you and me, where we can connect.

i need to see you. and i think you might need to see me, too.

fine. fair or not, that's where i am. knowing you're there is a balance in my life.

too true.

quote for the day (week? month?):

È molto più facile spegnere un primo desiderio che soddisfare tutti quelli che lo seguono. - François de La Rochefoucauld

yes, i know, by all rights i should put it up in French. it just sounds better in Italian.

spoiled.

oh, i've been so spoiled this weekend... taking care of puppies, i've had the chance to use frenchy's very nice system. ooooo. everything launches nicely, the speakers kick ass, and the monitor. oh, the monitor. it's an acre of real estate. okay, just lots bigger than mine. yum.
