back

I'm back from NYC. About to go head into work for a few hours and catch up on things.

I've come to the conclusion that I really need some shoes that aren't sneakers, but I'm worried about finding ones that I can actually walk on, what with my knee and arch problems. I wonder if such a thing as orthopedic sandals exist (that don't look awful).

Flight wasn't too bad. Given that I got up at 4:15am and Nick drove me to the airport then, it shouldn't strike anyone as odd that I slept for 4 hours of the 5-hour flight.

The one good thing about being back here is that it's lovely, 65 degrees or so, sunny, and not humid and all. Aside from that, I think I'd rather still be in NYC.

Lyrics of the week

hmm

Well, I went to work today for a few hours. It's always fun playing catch-up. Another guy started in our group while I was gone. He's older and likes cobol and doesn't know Perl. Scary.

I was ravenously hungry at 6pm so I left work and went to Blue C for dinner. I like how I can get 8 dishes at Blue C for the price of the 4 dishes I got at the kaiten place in NYC.

I'm probly going to try to go to sleep soon, even though it's only like 9pm west coast time. It'll be weird falling asleep without a goodnight hug from Nick, but I guess I'll survive.

I'll have to go shopping this weekend for shoes and take into account some of those suggestions.

Oh yeah, and while I'm at it, I like that "five songs you despise by bands you otherwise adore" meme, so here's my answer, mostly based on "I tend to skip this song when I listen to the CD":

1) Eddie From Ohio -- "Let's Get Mesolithic"
2) Moxy Fruvous -- it's a tie between "No No Raja" and "Sahara"
3) TMBG - the entire album Mink Car, except for "Drink"
4) Great Big Sea -- "Lukey"
5) Beautiful South -- "Don't Marry Her"

I think the counter meme would be "name 5 songs that you almost always press repeat on the CD and sing along to a second time" --

1) The Pogues, "Fairytale of New York"
2) Puffy, "これが私の生きる道"
3) Aiko, "桜の時"
4) Eddie From Ohio, "Fly South"
5) Indigo Girls, "Watershed"
