Sunday and a half
Aug. 9th, 2004 06:26 pmYesterday I finished packing a box of Goodwill stuff, and I took it over to the Goodwill donations, and then went to Greenlake and walked around it. (So I did a good turn for society and a good turn for myself.)
Greenlake walk was nice, I really kinda put my brain into overdrive thinking about stuff. Jobs, life, etc. The best was when I realized... part of why I don't have or want pets right now, is just... I'd want something fuzzy and cuddly and interactive (ie, not a fish; like a cat or rat or ferret or whatnot), and well, the fact is, right now, the amount of affection and companionship I'd get from a pet doesn't outweigh the disgust and annoyance of what happens when they defecate all over me and my belongings and my apartment. Then when I kind of thought about whether I wanted to apply that to relations with humans... ugh, I don't even want to go there :) Of course, with people, it's metaphorical crappage, but...
Yah, so anyway. I walked around, I saw some ducklings, I came home, I called Drew, Drew came over, we went to Taste of India, and we had indian food on Sunday night, yay! I miss that sort of stuff. We talked about my career plans a bit; I think he'll still refer me at MS but we'll just burn that bridge when we come to it. After Indian food we went over to Half Price Books, where Drew bought a bunch of CDs and I bought... more baseball books. Hehe. I'm already 50 pages into one of them.
Came home and played PP. The mixes for the evening were [ REM - Fables / Toad The Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea / The Cure - Kiss Me x 3 ], and later on, [ Erasure - Pop! The Best 20 Hits / Pet Shop Boys - Discography / New Order - The Best Of ]. The latter is actually an extremely good mix for getting energetic at 5am.
In PP there was more crew drama mostly brought on by Chegg's sudden reappearance :( But I won't worry about it now. Chernabog and I did collection/wages and after he did the math, we had more than enough money in crew-cut/shop-cut so WE BOUGHT A SHOP UPGRADE FOR OUR TAILOR HOLY CARP!!! So at about midnght tonight (Monday) our tailor will be upgraded to a big badass tailor :) I'm so happy! Also Cherny charted me in Opal, and Weaver was back again and sailed for me while I memmed, so now I am done memorizing all of Opal! Yay! And I did laundry, too, finally. So yeah.
Today I woke up and did a bunch of apartment-cleaning. Mostly box consolidation. I wanted to put together a box of stuff to take to Goodwill, but instead I ended up basically taking 4 other boxes of junk and throwing out a whole lot of things, finding places for a few, and consolidating it all into 1 box of junk. I finally threw out some of my stuff from Claritech - isn't that kind of sad?
