Just a waitin' on a friend you see....

Still no bebe. This suspense is killing me.

Man. US Maple is really nuts. I mean, nuts in a good way, but still, some of the weirdest stuff I've ever seen or heard. Bring that back out again. The purple album is so so good.

Bizzy bizzy at work. I like it that way. Superhero or maniac? Who cares? I'm learning a lot. I'm rolling with punches. Boss's boss says this builds character. It also makes time fly.

Check it out - I'm gonna be an auntie again like any day now. Any day. A little dude for dressing up in dinosaur patterns. I'm just waiting for that call. Then I gotta arrange a trip to Cincinnatti right quick in order to sniff that baby before he stops smelling sweet. Man I love sniffing new babies, don't you?

Streetview

I just spent an hour driving through a moment in time of Chicago's Englewood neighborhood with Google's new Streetview feature. It must've been a beautiful day that day because everyone and everyone was out on their porches. I made a gallery of some of the people I saw.



Gallery --> here.

We don't have much of a porch culture in our world. I'd bet these peeps even know who their neighbors are.

Mmmmm. So much better than it sounds.

Hmmmmmm! Made my laptop bag & everything else in the kitchen smell like beautiful curries for days to come! Ahh. If you use this, let me know how it goes. Any adds, etc?

man, that was emo.

I'm alone tonight. The first days of autumn always bring nostalgia.

I can't believe Peanut is gone. Long gone. That skinny little body we worked so hard to build back up. Those wounds I cleaned and wrapped... They're all so much a part of history.

Why didn't I keep that dog? What was I afraid of?

I was young. And youth goes hand and hand with selfishness, fear of committment, uncertainty and immortality.

That pup is long gone. And if I could I would, but I imagine anyone who says they don't have regrets is a flat out liar.

I did what I could at the time. And I will always wish to have done more. For as long as I live. In every circumstance. That's how I am.

53 minutes until big meating. I'm not prepared and have medicine head.
I can do this. I can do this. Be cool.

Burr.. Autumn is here. Bust out the old old Smashing Pumpkins. They compliment each other. And headphones can keep it your secret.

ps - today is my half birthday! 29.5 yay.

What do you do when you spill coffee all over your colleauge's office & lab books? Ugh. You send an e card.



Then what?
