Budgie made it through his surgery with flying colors. He even got to keep nine of his teeth, though he lost almost all of the teeth on one side, meaning his tongue will probably stick out, which is too cute to bear thinking about. I was so worried about him today, we really do love that little dog an awful lot.
I just realized I have something to do every night this week, except tonight. Damn. I really need to rein in my tendency to overschedule.
Except I have this tick tick tick feeling in my head all the time - the world is spinning, my life is slipping away (not in a morbid way, but we’re all running on finite time) and so I need to maximize this time. Plus, I’m rubbish at long term planning (hence I have a hard time not going to an event this week because I want to graduate this year).
This week, it’s:
* Budgie has dental surgery(scary!), and Tiki Tuesday at Teardrop.
* Weds Birthday Party
* Thursday at Kelly’s Olympian - an artist friend will be painting a mural, I think.
* Friday a private rum tasting
and then who knows what the weekend will bring!
I printed this out and put it up in my office to remind myself that although the internet is super extra awesome, it isn’t everything.
I see in myself a tendency to retreat to the internet and use it to distract myself from Things That Need To Get Done (homework, unpacking, exercising). I used to read romance novels (the same ones over and over) the same way. Sometimes you just need to escape, I guess.
No one needs to feel sorry for me, but I just got this 24″ iMac at work and it is hard to find good desktop pics! I can’t take Apple’s serene nature pictures for long.
Here is what hot nerds* do on Friday nights (in case you were wondering):
1. Do working (usually sitting at a computer)
2. Leave working (+5 points for taking the bus)
3. Come home, have a beer and a cigarette+
4. Go out to one of MANY places in Portland with gorgeous beer and lovely food
5. Eat, drink, flirt with the bartender
6. Come home and mix up a mess of Navy Grogs
7. Watch Star Trek movies I, II and III.
That’s your easy 7 step process, I know you can do that.
*Hot Nerd Club: Craig, Kim and Heather. Kim has no blog so she gets no linkage. Who doesn’t have a blog? It’s like she doesn’t even exist. Here is what she looks like in case you want to stalk her.
+Sorry, Mom. It’s Portland’s fault.
