ow. my stomach hurts, but i deserve it for letting my coworker make us dinner using only a microwave and random non-perishable things found around our workplace: cans of tuna, beans, and corn + a box of macaroni and cheese. Chili sauce was added.

argh.

today work was long. but i am very nearly finished. the bright spot was the email i received informing me that today is neil diamond's 62nd birthday(!). I proceeded to play every ND album i could get my hands on. Vinyl AND CDs. oh, baby, was everyone ever smiling. Or grimacing. Hard to tell, and i didn't really care.

I'm off home and to bed, because tomorrow is the ONLY thing i don't mind waking up at 6am to do: I get to snowboard for the first time this winter.

I have visions of how i will elegantly swoop down the hill, carving deep and beautiful lines.

Alas, it is more likely that I will spend the day careening down inclines on my face. But i'll enjoy it anyway.
