The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same
Right, so in addition to not going to Capture the Flag this weekend, I also did something terribly uncharacteristic for me tonight: I skipped a They Might Be Giants concert. Even weirder, I skipped a They Might Be Giants concert occurring on my half birthday. (I have been to three or four TMBG concerts on my birthday or halfbirthday in my lifetime, among the... I dunno, 25ish TMBG concerts I've been to? Many of you from CMU were at one of them, even -- November 7, 1997, when they played in the University Center.)
Sadly, it sounds like I skipped one of their better concerts -- I've seen them play like 5 times since I moved to Seattle, and this one was at the Moore, and I was tired from Puzzle Hunt, and I figured I just saw them at their in-store in Queen Anne 6 months ago... and I had choir rehearsal and the gym is closing later this week for a few days and... yeah. So signs pointed to "don't go to the concert, Deanna", but from all reports, it sounded like it was pretty cool -- they were even "the opening band" for their own concert, apparently.
It happens, I guess. I won't miss Great Big Sea when they come here. That is all.
It's funny, with PH over, I'm trying to figure out what I'm looking forward to. I guess there's my trip to Pittsburgh and Key West over Thanksgiving and the following week. I want to see eeeeeeeeeveryone in Pittsburgh (I'm there from the day before Thanksgiving until December 1, so you have no "I'm out of town" excuse). And then what? I don't know what I'll do for the holidays, if anything. I'm not sure I feel like travelling this year, and I'm not sure I know anyone I can convince to come visit here.
Oh well, that's something to worry about another time.
Anyway, today I got to work late because I overslept, which wasn't surprising. Work was okay. After work I went to choir, where I ended up almost entirely in the bass section, which was pretty funny. After choir I went to the gym. I ran for 5 minutes today, which I think is up a half minute from last week. I got home and wrote a book review. Now, I should sleep.
(oh, also, I stopped by Best Buy on the way to choir, and I noticed that memory sticks are really expensive -- Oren, where was that site you showed me all the really cheap memory sticks on? or does anyone else have recommendations? I'm looking for a 1 GB or so keychain USB memory stick.)

I too often felt like I had to make holiday plans to see some segment of my family. During graduate school and now, there's always something interesting to do wit someone interesting if I stay in town and avoid my family, too. Some years I somewhat regret going home because I missed out on the fun with my friends who were stuck in town.
Cheers,
Matt
