Chaos Is All in Your Mind

I've allowed too many things to lapse in my life, again, and the consequences are coming back to bite my arse like the World Serpent biting its own tail.

Finances are in disarray. My health is carp. House continues to be a dump and I still need to deal with those pesky nose hairs. I know one's energy slows down as one gets older, but this power drain is negligence, not entropy – I've simply stop caring.

But the world continues to care. Especially for money. Or its own plans. So I can continue to stop caring or lay blame on others. Or grab life by the balls and say, “sit”.

First Press Day of 2010 LA Auto Show

Exhausted

Good news? No, they're GREAT

Things are moving along at work, things that are good! (Details to follow.) More importantly, though, is that my mom's out of the hospital. Yeah! Now we'll see if the operations a success.

Weekend Words

The alarm I set woke us up on Saturday, a rarity. We crawled out of bed, the spouse first, then me, then headed out to the local car dealership to pick up the spouse's car. It now has oil-eating issues; the cheerful car tech informed us that's normal for ten-year old engines in five year old cars. Translation: new car early next year.

PJ Abbey had only one table filled when we arrived. We gorged ourselves on our regular fair of two separate omelet plates raspberry and stuffed raspberry and cream french toast slices. Good thing, too, since we spent the rest of the day at Renfaire and didn't have our next meal until thirteen hours later.

On Sunday, we brunched again at the Circle. However, before stepping into the restaurant, we admired the autos of yesteryear parked in every nook and cranny, staged by the local car enthusiasts group. I waxed and waned about taking pics and writing a blog post or even an article for my sites, but ultimately decided it wasn't appropriate, subject-wise. Afterwards, the spouse and I went our separate ways. Day passed quickly with the Internet and the telly. We dined on fish.

Four cups of coffee.

Movie Night

Enjoyed Driven to Race by Cargo Productions. Review to follow. Thanks, Mazda!

On the Move

We moved into our new location yesterday. Joining us were the staff from Anaheim, Cerritos, and Placentia. You could quickly sense the difference between the two groups. While our side buzzed with suppressed excitement and curiosity, the other side, well, was more subdued. As one of my colleagues explained today, many on the other side feel they were forced to move down here. Also, while our department continues to grow, their side suffered badly during the recession.

Done

Finished the book review. Whew! Link to follow once it's live.

Now to the so-called "easier" work....
