0.75 more hours left of work
4.15 hours til I go to the airport
7.5 hours til my plane departs SFO
...and then it's a 14 hour plane ride to Tapei, followed by 3 hours of a layover, and a 2 hour flight to Bangkok.
I just want to be there already. Ahhhhhh.

I leave for Thailand tomorrow night. I just want to blink these last hours away. I'm mostly packed, but I want to go back through my bag and try and take some stuff out because I'm sure I overpacked. When I travel, it seems like I always end up wearing the same old shit everyday and lugging the other clothes around. I just bought 3 new books and some toiletries so I think I am all set. Yesterday I made copies of my passport. My passport photo is so funny, I wish I could show everyone. I was 19 when I took the picture and holy eyeliner do I look like an idiot. I was also dying my hair red at the time and doing a very bad job of penciling my eyebrows to match. Aren't people supposed to look their best at age 19?

1. Could you live without your phone for 1 week for $500?
If you answer no to this question, I think you need to take a serious look at the priorities in your life.
2. Whom do you talk to on the phone the most?
Tara, Carli, my mom
3. Whom do you no longer talk to on the phone but wish you still did?
Oh, plenty of people. Lately it’s been Ava. I haven’t been hanging out with her much at all and I miss her.
4. If you could get ahold of one celebrity phone number, whose digits would you want?
My default answer is always LL Cool J. But, I also think it would be fun to have Tyra’s cell phone. People probably wouldn’t even flinch if they got strange texts from her.
5. Do you talk on the phone more or less than you used to?
It’s hard to say. I guess I talk on the phone less than I used to because now I’m more likely to hang out with my friends in person than I am to call them and chat.

Last night at the bar, my friends and I were talking about how this is the first time someone we voted for has actually won. He was talking and he knew what he was saying! And I think we all got teary eyed. I am proud to be an American for the first time ever.
But then I am also sad because Prop 8 passed. I don't understand how people can be so bigoted. We've come a long way, I guess, but we're not there yet. This has brought on quite a raincloud, but I still feel optimistic about the big picture.

Cubemate: How are you voting on Prop 8?
Me: Of course I'm voting against it. Everyone should have equal rights.
Cubemate: Yeah, I agree with that, except for marriage.
OMFG I AM GOING TO SLIT THIS BITCH'S THROAT. Honestly, you share a cube with someone for a few years and then you find something like this out... I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised since she sometimes goes to church on her lunch break, but I still feel like screaming right now.

I won a two month long stand off: the cat door is finally in.
I really wanted it to stop being hot and start being cold. Now, it's cold, and I wonder if my desire to wear sweaters was too short sighted?
One of my favorite people at work put her 2 weeks in today. Good for her, she found something better, but boo, that's one less person I like who will be in the office. She lives near me, though, so I am hopeful we will still see each other.
I felt great all day and now I want to get under the covers and hide from the world. Is it only the weather and darkness? I'm not sure.
Did you know that it is not a good idea to carve your pumpkin several weeks in advance? It was so nasty, I had to throw it out.

Tick mother fucking tock, this day just won't END. I have done everything I need to do and then some. I have even asked for more work and there was none to be had. I have done at least 4 sudoku puzzles and added at least 6 pictures from Flickr Explore to my favorites. Can't it be 5pm already? I'm ready for the gym.

This weekend, I hosted ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) spunkymishi's surprise baby shower. I am still amazed that it managed to be kept a surprise! Mishi looks great. I guess this will be my first foray into auntie-dom. It certainly was the first baby shower I've ever thrown. I decided to save myself a headache and just order food. I probably could have ordered half of what I ordered and still had leftovers, bu it's a good thing when your only party regret is having too much food. I didn't take any of my own pictures, but Heidi's turned out well. Jeff and Carli have some to upload too.
Things of note:
The "Don't say Baby" punishment was wearing a Curious George mask- and there were 4 of those.
Most people did pretty well on the melted chocolate bars in diapers game. The winning team got all 12 right!
After the first punch bowl, I was too lazy [and out of juice] and so the second round of punch was essentially rum and sprite in a bowl.
Jeremy brought plain onesies and fabric markers for a decorate your own onesie game. I love that idea. So cute. I still can't believe Jeremy's bro made one with an American flag that says U.S.A.
At one point, damn near the entire party was sitting in a room throwing balloons at each other. I think that lasted like a fucking hour.
Congrats Mishi & Jeremy.

Back In The Day
1. When was the last time you went to a playground and swung on the swings?
Actually, I just did that in July. Arthur and I decided to watch the fireworks from the Baseball game at the Park. When we got to the park it was too foggy to see anything, so we decided since we were already there, we might as well play on the swings.
2. What is the first TV show you remember watching as a child?
Uhhhh…. Sesame Street?
3. What's your favorite board game?
Scattergories
4. How old were you when you started school?
I was 5 when I started kindergarten, but I had already done 2 years of pre-school (twice a week I think).
5. If you could have given any one piece of advice to yourself when you were a child, what would it be?
I don’t know how to answer this. Certainly I have gone the long way about some things and made my share of mistakes, but I don’t think I would change anything. Who’s to say little me would take my advice anyway?

So, this is the big motherfucking sweetheart I am dog sitting for Brigid's boss. He is probably like 130lbs but very gentle. It's funny how big dogs don't know how big they are; he sat on my lap last night! Sorry for the cam phone quality. Rest assured I have taken and will take 100 more pictures with a real camera, but I forgot to bring my cord with me so I couldn't upload them. The house is very nice. Everything has a place and the kitchen looks straight out of a catalog page. Last night I tried to watch South Park and it said I needed a password. LOL, I guess she is a tough mom. Although at least one of her kids is in college and the other is either in high school or college so that seems weird. BTW, these kids have more expensive things in their rooms than I will ever have in my entire life. I guess I'm living large for the weekend!

I made a "lost cat" flier at work and made a bunch of copies. My plan was to come home first and check for him and then staple the fliers to every telephone pole in the neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised to see that his food bowl was almost empty and he was asleep on my bed. The little shithead puked in my room, but that's okay. At least he's home.

I still can't find my Booboo.
ETA 10:35a.m.: I just got a call from a woman saying she thinks she saw my cat this morning in South San Francisco. I don't know about that... I mean, can you even get there without using the freeway? She has to be wrong. I guess that was nice of her anyway, but that doesn't seem possible.

Ange leaves hair straightener at Tahoe + Kyle leaves Rockband cd in Tahoe = another weekend in Tahoe this month? Man, I feel retarded.
Twice today (in the morning and also on the way home), someone tried to give me their seat on BART. Both times they were young women, so it's not a chivalry thing. This can only mean those filthy bitches think that I'm pregnant. Go fuck yourselves, seriously. Note to self: don't ever wear this outfit again. Ironically, I thought I was looking rather svelte today. Shows what I know.
In better news, my back porch faces the back of a small apartment complex. When they are on their porches and I am on mine, we are looking directly at each other. Last week, Nicole noticed that there are two hot guys right across and they were totally checking us out. Two hot guys living together and they are not a couple? Let me tell you, that is a rarity in my neighborhood. Heidi suspected they might be French, but I couldn't really hear what they were saying. When taking out the trash the other night, I said Hi to them [in English obviously] and they stared back blankly. Today I saw they had a few females over and as I was taking out the recycling, I was able to hear them talking. Indeed, the hot dudes are French. This proves that there is, in fact, a God.

Like most weirdos, I peruse the Craigslist pet section every day. I read the sob stories, email the cute pictures around, consider adopting, etc. Anyway, how fucking stupid are people? A dog does not need a bike seat.

I am home from Tahoe. It was a nice relaxing weekend. I didn't do too much. I lost a little bit of money, but I had a good time doing it.
And I don't have to report to jury duty tomorrow, so I guess it will be just another day at work.

I have jury duty next week. I wonder if I will get picked... It could be fun, actually, providing it was a short case. My company will only pay up to a week's salary for jury service. That seems pretty strange, considering I work at a law firm, but I suppose most of my firm's cases are settlements rather than trial by jury. I actually lost the summons, but, it was surprisingly painless to call and have them fax me a copy. It's funny that my employer wants a copy of that. I can't imagine anyone faking jury duty.
I think it's now been 2 weeks since I've gone to the gym. I should go today, but I really don't feel like it. But if not today, I probably won't go at all this week.
I am so fucking tired today. I just want it to be Friday night already since I'm going out of town for the long weekend. Tahoe here I come.
