Introspection/Extroversion

so today i’m mired in a little slump.. my week has been horrible.. monday and tuesday out with the flu. wednesday i worked 15 hours. thursday a total write off, i had to do presentations and hold the hand of some peeps who can’t understand technology (yet seem doomed to present it to people). and today i got in and can’t even seem to get started. my total output for the day: 0. well, that’s not strictly true. i did book a flight back to canuckland for my cousin’s wedding, and reserve a rental car. but other than that… yeah. so around 12:30 i’m feeling a little disparaged, a little down, and so on.. and in need of a little comfort food. (no, not cap’n todd’s cheezy tuna surprise, johnny rockets) for those of you not in the know, johnny rockets is a 50’s style hamburger joint. a friend of mine is the manager of the great mall outlet, and as long as i don’t ask for a ‘chili fountain pie’ or “that burger on the door” then i’m fine. so i went in for one of his special treats: super coney rings. start with onion rings. add chili. add cheese. add onion. add tobasco. add zantac-75. mmmmm. deliciously spicy, and enough grease to keep a fleet of taxi’s in working order for at least 6 months. sometimes i’ll feel like a jimm-ay shake(tm). equal parts chocolate shake, oreo cookie shake, and coffee shake, it’s a treat not to be equalled on this planet (or at least in milpitas). top it off with a smokehouse or a st louis (hold the salad) and i’m a little fatter, a little gassier, and a lot happier. i’m not even really worried about not-gettin stuff done. off to sleep!

yes, i’ve been sick. ill. nasty too.. the worst i’ve had in a while. when my stomach decides it can’t hold it’s contents.. well.. you get the picture. i may never eat cheese again. seriously..

in and out, 45 minutes, 4 fillings, no freezing! i gotta tell you, technology is a wonderful thing. i went to see the dentist for the first time in forever a couple weeks ago and he found 4 cavities that needed filling. so today i returned for the evil, yet necessary work. and when i get there he tells me that i don’t need a single needle, since he’s going to do all the work with his new fancy-schmancy laser. so he goes to work in there, burns out some teeth, hides some things, pours in the cement, tamps it down, scratches his initials in it, and i’m out and at work an hour early! saaaaweeeeeet! also, i’ve just won an appearance on a national tv show and just had my first photo-op for publicity. here’s a picture. there’s some subtle hints about what show i’m going to be on, so see if you can find them.
anyways, i have some blogs that i wrote when i was on vacation this weekend and when/if i get around to it i’ll put em up.

i’ve been thinking about adding a little thing here to talk about the books that i read (i read a lot…) and give a little mini-review, my impressions etc. and now that i think about it, i’m thinking why restrict it to books? why not talk about all forms of media that i deal with? movies, tv, music, spoken word, print, ads? i know that some people do this already, and it’s something that i do actually want to do, but you know.. i’m lazy… i need to work on my 100 things about me too.
there’s a pseudo things about me on the right (under ‘me’).
