    OK Go
    I've really enjoyed listening to OK Go lately. In fact I really like these videos: (the treadmill one is hilarious - aside from the fact that it makes me want to get up and dance)

    loss of sleep
    I've been up since 5:30, an hour before my alarm has gone off - and at this point (6:10) - why even try and bother going back to sleep. I woke up hungry (I wonder why that happens - I went to bed stuffed and needed antacid!) and I can't sleep when I'm hungry. Also my eye is bothering me - been having some annoying dry eye issues since I did yoga last week, and then wore contacts while sailing (duh - all that wind).

    Argh I would have loved that extra hour of sleep - oh well - back to a caffeine-infested day! *grumble*

    Lunch Indulgence
    I decided to indulge in a Whole Foods cup of gazpacho and a package of spicy tuna & salmon sushi rolls (8).

    Mmmm... was yummy! :-)

    Naptime? For some reason I still have jetlag and I'm not getting enough sleep :(

    Managed to get in the first bike ride of the year! 17.5 miles on Minuteman trail... let's hope I can keep this up on a regular basis :-)

    Funny
    This is an email sent to [info]farkanator - I happened to read it over his shoulder earlier tonight and thought it was a riot - so I decided to post it.


    Subject: Happy Pesach????

    If you are one of the many Jewish men and women who has been working
    strenuously for the past few weeks to rid your house of all the
    chametz and leavened foods, in preparation for the
    upcoming holiday of Passover, you will surely appreciate the news of one
    more piece of Chametz that is no longer .....

    DEATH NOTICE

    Please join us in remembering a great icon -- the veteran Pillsbury
    spokesman. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
    complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was
    buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to
    pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California
    Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The
    gravesite was piled high with flours. A longtime friend, Aunt Jemima,
    delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who never knew how much
    he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life
    was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie,
    wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little
    flaky at times, he still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model
    for millions. Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but,
    alas, he was no tart. Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two
    children, John Dough and Jane Dough, and they had one in the oven. His
    elderly father, Pop Tart, also survives him. The funeral was held at 350
    for about twenty minutes.

    Deep thought of the day
    One can get all the schooling he/she wants, but in the end it really just comes down to the actual work experience in order to get something accomplished.

    Jet Lag
    Good Grief - I go to California for 3-4 days and I can't seem to get off that timezone.. and I've been back since Monday! I can't seem to go to bed before 1 or 2am - end up getting only 5-6 hrs of sleep for 3 days in a row and now I'm totally exhausted. (I need between 7-8 hrs a night to function properly) *sigh* and on the flipside it was WAY too easy to get used to the Pacific time zone.

    Current Mood: sleepy
    Current Music: guy hacking on the other side of cube wall... eww!

    Bathroom Weirdness
    So I walked into the bathroom at work and I hear someone speaking in one of the stalls. Normally... this sort of thing does not phase me - when people talk to each other over the stalls... but this person was on her cell phone!.. or she was having a one-sided conversation with herself because I was the only other person in there.

    Eh. Just something unexpected I guess :-)

    Red Sox torture
    I spent the evening with my parents tonight - I kept turning on the tv, and watching the sox botch an inning... and then turning it off... and then turning it on... hmmm the Yankees have two outs... watch for a while... even got my parents to watch some! Now that is shocking... even though it was for maybe a total of two minutes! Finally left their place around 9:45 or so... game still going on... and on... and on.. Got home - Mark intently watching game... told him not to get too upset and said he couldn't yell at the tv now that I was home... of course I ate my words when I see Ortiz trying to steal second (M sez: WTF!?!? And why can't Johnny Damon bunt!?) and I jump up and start yelling at the tv...

    so.. the point of this post? not sure... but... GO SOX!!!! YAY!

    That is all.
