Just Checking In
hey boys and girls. not much happening but i thought i should write something anyways. so yes. la de la la.... what's been going on? hmmm, one semi interesting thing is that i have a new task at work. i work in the fundraising and development office at my job and part our task in general is to deal with people who do give us money (we're a non-profit outfit) and people who might. so my new task is to do online sleuthing of people we've identified. it's sort of interesting to be concerted in your efforst about finding information about people online. it's sort of a structured form of "googling" your date you know. haha, googling. when is that going to get into the OED? anyways, so i spent a few hours this past week sleuthing on a little old lady in boston and found interesting hits here and there, just by her name. she owns a $2 million dollar property in boston, she went i think to U. Minnesota in like the 50's, she a staunch consistent supporter of democratic and liberal political groups, and she has a fancy for english literature, and her husband is a english literature professor. and some other facts here and there... oh yeah, her name also comes up on a porn site too... but hmmm, i doubt there is a real connection there. at least i hope not, the chick is like 80. haha.
.
studio has been very on and off this week, owning to the fact that our professor wasn't able to make it to studio himself. so we're sort of on our own. my god, wait till he springs on us that we are going to have a pin-up next week. yikes. well, as is alwasy in this part of the semester, i am getting interesting ideas for what i want to do. basically my dilema this semester is creating pedestrian connections across a completely pedestrian unfriendly road, that resembles more a highway than a road. who knows, maybe there's some typological merit in creating potential connections across highways... or it may be just a theoretical exercise. i like to think in terms of metaphors and was sketching out some things labeled... "bosque of trees", "sponge", "cheese", and "moldy cheese". haha... we'll see how that goes.
.
other classes? i have one class which is really kind of starting to unnerve me a little bit. it's a "real estate field studies" class and its a group project but the thing is...i feel very left out of the group. partly because the group was fairly instable at the begginning, people adding and dropping courses and what not, and also that i missed apparently a pivotal class in the begginning and while my other teammates have taken the ball, they really haven't passed it on. so i am just trying to make due with what i have and be as helpful as i can... but i am not sure excatly what is going on really.
.
i have been top notch in my exercise regime this past 2 week, i am proud to say. its been great. i really do go to the gym not almost everyday and my "schedule" is starting to solidify. and heehee, i am imagining that i am losing a little bit of that spare tire i accumulated over christmas break, thank god! anyways, its also kind of an excuse to check out the hot guys as well, but oh well... exercise is the main point and main, my arms are really showing it, even after only a week or so. somehow, i guess i should be happy that i have one of those physiques that immediately responds to strength training... now only if my abs responded so quickly. well, actually technically i think they do... it's just that i have a layer of nice warm fat over them that unless i am willing to starve myself (which i am not) i might actually be able to see my hot abs. haha. ahhh, can't be perfect i guess. oh, one other thing, i think i am going to be successful in hooking up with some people to play squash... or at least learn to play squash that is. we actually have two squash pros in our studio and so i and two others want to give them some game... haha. nice huh? my smoker lungs are gonna love that number!
.
in other news, hmmm. oh, i guess i should mention this, eventhough this is like completely the wrong venue for THAT kind of information, but i did happen to land myself some "play" over the week, ending my long long celibacy. ok, maybe not as long as i've had it before, but hey, the longest one really was looong! anyways, it was overall a fun time. we messed around and did the usual and it was a convenient, enjoyable time. i doubt it will be repeated though, at least with that person, and just as well. i got the impression that i was one of those "rebound" lays that one goes through after a relationship has just ended, and hmmm, even beyond the fact that we didn't have that much "personality" chemistry, i usually try to steer clear of that kind of baggage. it's just no good. anyways, didn't get a hot date with my secret crush, but well, took care of business in another way. and speaking of secret crush, we supposedly have a date for this tuesday. but i think i said that last week too and that didn't happen. booo. man, getting a date is so fucking complicated! haha.
.
but i should be thinking of other things really. like getting ready for the job fair that is coming up this week and preparing for the two interviews i have. of late, i am really begginning to think if things don't pick up more, i probably will be going down to houston. which i am not disappointed in, but again... i'm greedy about having choice choice choice. eventhough if we can draw a parralel, i go to the same restaurants and order the same food almost all the time. i'm not really much of a fellow to exercise "choice", but its nice to have i guess. ahh.. pyschology. also i have papers to finish and papers to start thinking about. somewhere stuck in there should also be studio work. ahhhh!
.
what am i talking about. most of this weekend i have spent watching TV. heehee. well, that's been my week. sort of uneventful in general, but oh well... i guess this is the decompression time from all that Dubai fun!
