8037592"> So I've been recovering all weekend from this nasty ass cold or flu that I've had. I really meant to spend my last weekend in CA doing something super duper exciting but I guess I didn't. I spent it blowing my nose and hacking phlegm. Truly one of my best weekends.

I did, however, get a chance to go watch that harry potter flick. It was pretty good i guess (even for a kids movie). So in summary, that was the highlight of my weekend. watching harry potter, and picking up some cambell's soup at Albertson's. it was on bonus buy. 3/$4.00 or 4/$3.00. some nonsense like that.

8037277"> It's just a matter of days before I head to the airport and leave California to return to Canada to go home. Perhaps for good. Perhaps for now. I'm not sure at this point. A lot of things have changed these these last two weeks. Somethings I would rather forget about. Somethings I am happy for. This place is a mixed blessing. Some things I will truly miss while other things I won't. If you've ever lived in Silicon Valley and worked here you'll know what I mean. Perhaps I need a more simpler life. A life in which work is not my highest priority. A place where people do not make ridiculously high salaries.

I'll be honest and say that going into work these last few days will feel very awkward. Now that I'm officially not returning, it seems as though i'm going to work just for the sake of going into work. I can't look at my boss the same way. Everything has changed. Maybe for the best. I really don't know at this point.

7993026"> it was one of those times when yer really not sure what to make of anything. and if you could you wouldn't know how to deal with it anyway. yer looking at the boss ticking calmly on the wall. and you really don't give a shit. but then you do. sitting around in an old robe knocking a few ideas around, beating up on yourself, sweating it out in a misplaced european summer. thinking of times gone by. wishing you were somewhere else. some smells never leave you. like ephedrine mixed with cheap perfume wearing a ratty bleached number. that's a well-worn road you're making son. yeah. whatever. guess i never really meant it then. i'd never really thought about it like that. and so it goes.

RL: "Some of the pics are pretty boring.... Sunnyvale Fall 2001!"
ME: "don't diss my pictures!!!!! sheesh."

RL: "Sounds like life is pretty frickin' boring if you have to take pics of signs and squirrels =) "
ME: "don't make me go over there and smack you!! " I'm being serious. But obviously he didn't get it.

RL: "Ha haa...."
ME: "i'm just being honest. sunnyvale isn't the shit. why make it out to be a palace of fun when it really isn't?"

WTF. Who actually goes out of their way to tell someone that their pics are pretty boring? Of course they're boring. Boring cuz I didn't take those pictures with you in mind. Pictures bring back memories that are personal for me. How can a stranger possibly feel the same way I do?

7560770"> I'm thinking of maybe moving over to one of those livejournal things that all the cool kids use. But in all honesty, I hope marmoset doesn't take away my website. Marmoset is da shit yo. I don't wanna be on geocities with some cryptic-ass web address shit like http://www.geocities.com/TheFarmHouse/Apartment/Complex/1212512512/. Oh and the banners would suck ass too. Isn't there ENOUGH adversiting on the web? FUCK.

7560579"> Okay so I've been somewhat lazy about updating this journal thing. The main reason, of course, being that I got an email from the kind folks at marmoset.net informing me that webpages may be taken down with or without advanced notice after Jan 1, 2002. Blech. So what's the point of updating this page when I could instantly disappear. Yes, I know, it sucks.

Secondly, I've been feeling very lethargic this week. I'd like to blame it on Vegas last week, but I really can't - at least not any more. Sure I felt like shit on Monday at work because we didn't actually get back to CA until 5am. Being the trooper that I am I ended up going to work anyway at 10. I had a meeting at 2pm in which a co-worker remarked that I looked like a zombie (believe me - i really felt DEAD). So I took the rest of the afternoon off and slept for about 13-14 hours straight. By tuesday I was feeling better. To make matters worse, It's been cold and raining a lot this week too. Kinda depressing. It's not supposed to be this dreary in sunnyvale (or is it?)
