It's official...

Me is Sleepy, as opposed to sneezie or grumpy. Although I could be grumpy if I tried...

Anyways, TGIF.

Of Rosemary Trees et al

Well finished my holiday decorations after taking several hours to decide between the rosemary tree or the little pine. I went with Rosemary cause I love that smell . Isn't this a great blog moment? Now you know how long it too me to pick a live tree? And that I picked the rosemary?

What else? Long week coming to close. Painfully long with semester ending.

Oh and I have several holiday plans already, yippee!:
Christmas Day going to movie and then to my place for Champagne and small gathering, still trying to figure out what movie..any suggestions?

Dec 23rd Bishops Wife at Stanford theater! Yay, making it to Stanford this year!





Going to see This Wonderful Life at San Jose rep, the illustrious Dan Hiatt playing all parts.
It's hiliarious I wanted to go to their holiday show all along but all my intellectual snob friends (I love you but you know who you are...) poo pooed the notion of going to holiday show. NOW that they know it's Hiatt doing a one man show they are more into it. So what a compliment to Mr Hiatt, he broke the "intelletual ceiling.

It's hectic, it's the end of semester...

So I got thrust from the cushy birth of my long weekend into madness at work.
End of semester rush for students. Tension, long lines etc. Well this too shall pass...

Oh and on another note, apparently I am now the new version of the NASCAR Dad in the voting block, single women may sway election

Long Weekends Journey into No More...

Ah it's over. I take my sighs and commute back to work. But it was great. I need more break but I will settle for the scraps I just got.

Yesterday I went to see of all things Enchanted
the new Disney-esque movie. Hey it was fun, refreshing and didn't take itself too seriously, for instance during musical numbers it added humor such as Prince Charming getting slammed into by a herd of bikers in Central Park. I laughed out loud many times, also something funny about an innocent getting stuck in cynical world. I would honestly recommend it highly. Note that even intellectual publications such as NY times are giving it thumbs up.

Of Oil Spills And Christmas:

Yesterday I took a walk around Albany bulb and met several oil spill workers, guys who work for environmental companies, one from Illinois. That's not why we went on the walk... but it happened upon us. So they are basically outdoor clean up for hire. Great guys, and it's amazing they are literally just using rags wiping off rocks, not anything special. One young guy who had been spending time doing clean up at Steel mills lately.

Anyways, on another note...got into holiday cheer. Sent out cards, put my tree up and well...let the good times roll. Not sure what got into me, but I felt like it. We also saw the tree lighting ceremony over downtown here at Pt Richmond, very sweet with carolers etc.
