Yo, Adrian

today was long. it was less of a today as it was a carryover of yesterday, sort of like a never-ending monday of doom, but with slightly less doom and more airplanes. in the night sky. like shooting stars? why did i do that? why do i do these things? i never know. so we flew from baltimore to newark at 6am on a super-cramped tiny jet for about 45 minutes, then we jumped on a big plane that was very empty to go to san diego for about 5 hours.

and i was behind a screaming french baby.

mind you, i have not slept since sunday night, and fully planned to sleep on the plane which i have become quite good at doing in the past few years. a baby i can handle, but a horrible indian woman that decided to play slash talk to slash attempt to calm down the baby with a very loud, piercing voice right next to me the entire ride... not so much. at one point i was just sitting there with my hat pulled over my eyes to shield them from the bright sun, looking very much like someone who did not want to listen to one child yelling at a baby that was probably scared out of his mind for 5 hours.

no, i didn't want that. i just wanted a little bit of sleep. i even looked at her a few times with the 'are you serious right now?' look, but it was clear that she didn't care at all. if i thought her english was good enough to understand, i probably would've said something, but she was just heinous as all get-out. blah. anyway, once we got here, we went to bronx for pizza which was delicious. then we drove to north county and we've just been relaxing and hanging out with my brother and the rest of my family all day. good times, good times. and now it's definitely time for sleep. so tired.

Hey, California...

i'll see you in a few hours! i'd blog more, but i've got a plane to catch.

Night Is Late

i've been sitting here trying to think of something to put in this box, but i just can't do it right now. i just can't. it's really late now, and i can't think straight for some reason. i'm so excited to be back in california, i think that is affecting my ability to sleep, and right now to think. yeah. it's going to be great. i hope i can think tomorrow, because i really need to finish my paper. and like, pass my class and stuff. i did some work tonight, way too late, because my mind won't stop working. these past few nights i just lay there in bed and it's moving 100 miles per hour. blah. time to try and sleep.

Wrong Battery

so after finding out that the battery i ordered over a week ago, which was the right battery, wasn't in stock, i re-ordered a different battery [which i thought was the same battery] from a different person that was stocked by amazon. i chose this one so it would get here today. it got here today, but it wasn't the right battery. i read the description wrong. so i ordered the right battery and i had it shipped to my parents' house, which defeats part of the purpose of getting the battery in the first place, which was being able to use my laptop on the plane.

but today my wife reminded me we'll be sleeping.

so i guess all's well that ends kind of well? yeah! that's what i'm sticking to. today was terrible and great at the same time. i couldn't sleep last night at all, so i spent most of today, until 4pm actually, trying to sleep. it didn't work. i should've given up by around noon, knowing i can't sleep with that much light pouring in the room. nothing worked. i should be way more tired right now than i am, but hopefully i'll be able to sleep tonight. but after i woke up, we went out to target and to dinner at this cool diner in parole. then we played wow, and steven got to raid, and we got to the lich king. it was fun! church tomorrow. exciting! goodnight.

p.s. i haven't gotten a comment in about a month now. if you're reading this, could you please leave one? thanks. i just like to know i'm not completely talking into the ether. granted, this is primarily for me, but i figure it's useful to tell people what's going on in my life. for those who care. and those who are bored. if you're either, just let me know. commenting is easy. this is 2010, if you don't have a gmail account to post on, you're just wrong.

Power

today i made this, which should come as less of a surprise to my regular blog readers [if i have any] because of yesterday's post. i'm just feeling a bit burnt out with production, my daily routine, and that video was a much needed creative outburst. i may be editing a sketch i did with my nieces last week to put up over the weekend as well, but we'll see how far into that i actually get. might not happen before vacation.

speaking of which, today was christin's last day of work for a while, which is great for her. she really needs the time off, away from her employer and the babies, because she's getting super stressed out about work. please pray for her in that area, she needs to gain her strength from the Lord and trust in His sovereign will for her guidance. it's good stuff. as for me, i may have a job when i get back from vacation, which is exciting. air balancing! ho! it's bedtime for me. relaxation tomorrow.

Blogging Sucks

it feels like every day is the same, because they all end the same. you'd think that would be a weird form of 'closure' [whatever that means] or something, but it's really not. it's almost like a back to reality moment where you realize the relative insignificance of a day in the life. weird. that's almost depressing. is it pensive, though? that's how i feel. not depressed, i think i'm just sort of settling into a routine, and it's not a routine i particularly enjoy. perhaps vacation will be a good break. perhaps getting a 'real job' after vacation will be a good restart.

Flim Flam Goodbye!

this morning, i was awoken by my lovely wife calling me and asking me to bring her food for lunch in an hour [forgot to set my alarm]. so i did! selby sub shoppe whooped up a delicious italian sub for her, and she enjoyed it while i sat with her and watched some youtube videos she was showing me. then i went off to work in downtown annapolis, walking up and down west street in the non-heat and non-humidity. loving it. getting me excited for next week, though it's been hot in california. i've almost forgotten what dry heat feels like.

downtown is cool. i don't talk about work much on here, but today was neat. it was mainly a photo gathering excursion, getting pictures for listings and checking out a few places that i hadn't been to previously. i can probably say now that i know my way around town a bit more. i love town. i can't wait to be a city dweller again. i was complaining the other day on facebook that i have to drive 15-20 minutes to town, the sure sign of a city dweller at heart. i miss hong kong. we may go visit new york city this winter if christin is being forced to vacation [again]. that will be nice.
