we saw a picture of him in a magazine today. we thought he looked fat.
i've had a good week at work. but at 3:00 today we heard they were going to announce the winner of the bid for the ottawa light rail transit project. so we waited with bated breath for the next hour when over the p.a. they announced we had not been selected. i'd say that's the worst part of our business – waiting for the news, then the huge disappointment of a loss.
i remember reading in our lady of the lost and found that "one should be hopeful but not expectant". that notion really embedded itself to my brain like a foreign object and the more time goes on, the more relevant i find it. like today for example, i was hopeful we'd win but was prepared for disappointment. i don't know, its the way of life really. i like hope, when its not misdirected. don't be delusional or anything.
alison sent me an email with a computer question, and that got me thinking about all my friends who have macs. i'm actually really surprised by it. before the only mac users i knew were designers, but now lots of people have them. oh, i've been meaning to ask you... i haven't quite figured out the widgets. i just updated my operating system from osx .28 or something, and it didn't have widgets. does anyone have any good suggestions on which ones to download? i use the dictionary one and the calculator one.
i'm getting really exciting, this time next week i'll be in new york city. hurray!!! i'm stoked. my big first road trip, and i'm going with the girls. its gonna be so fun. so ya, i won't be around next week-end, so no entries then – i know, it'll be tough. just kidding.
well i really need to tidy my room, or hmmm, maybe i'll try and avoid it. oh crap, i can't i've already dumped my laundry on my bed to be folded. folding laundry is one of my least favourite chores. i want to go for a walk, but its kind of crappy out and i have some more vacuuming to do before the "big party" tonight. (i'll let you decipher the quotation marks yourself.)
all the people that i love aren't here

when you posted about your party, i completely did not clue in that it was going to be tonight! i had thought i would come to the party, but i just figured out that it was tonight, and i'm way too not in the mood for not going out to go now. i hope it's a blast, les.
oh bummer, i would have loved to have you. i'm kicking myself for no thinking to mention it the other day. well you'll have to come to my new place when i have my housewarming thing (it won't be a housewarming party, just a "hey, come check out my new pad" thing).
definitely, i'd love to.
sounds good!!
