Maybe they'd have to hold each other when it rose, all organe and full and close. Maybe that's where our romantic notions about the moon first came from. Two people holding each other to keep their hearts from breaking, because everybody they knew was dying in the cold rocks and dust piles a quarter million miles away...

Funnily enough it was just a day ago that I was teasing a friend for venting on his blog. Yet somehow, I don't know what could possibly be more appropriate than that exact quote.
"I can't think about this now, I'll go crazy if I do. I'll think about it tomorrow."

I've gotten very sucky at keeping up with the blogging thing. But seriously, life is less interesting when you're not in school anymore. Things happen at a much slower pace. It's nice, but I like being fast paced better. I work less. *g*
We have office politics. And as a PM, woman, and the youngest in the company, I get the brunt of it. S'alright though. Somehow we fit our three filing cabinets and two bookcases into two 6x6 cubes (plus hallway space). And the other group moved into our office with three laptops. Wheeeeee. I still love my company and job though. I'm gonna plan a block party. It's going to be freaking amazing. :)
Tomorrow I go to Cirque du Soleil. WOOO!

Yesterday I went to a new optometrist. I like Californian doctors better :) She told me (repeatedly) that I have "large pupils" which when combined with an astigmatism causes the problems that I have with night vision. You see, astigmatism causes light to bend in strange ways to start with. Then, when you open up how much light can reach your retina, it aggravates the problem. That's a very cosmetic explanation of a scientific problem. It made me smile, though, that I have been officially diagnosed with the affliction of "large pupils."

This post stuck a chord with me: http://mu-warrior.blogspot.com/2005/12/punishing-dental-school-student.html. If everything really transpired that way, that guy Lynch should be handing in his resignation ex-post-haste. Except when blogging information and/or opinions violates other contracts or becomes libelous, blogs are clearly covered under free speech laws. This student is entitled to his own opinion, and he is entitled to share that opinion regardless of both the means of distribution and the content of the opinion. Moreover, the page is the personal property of the student, not the university, and they have no jurisdiction to control its content. Lynch is so far out of line that I am simply appalled. If justice were to be served, he would be the one whose career is over.

There should be a name of for the sport of randomly searching wikipedia for different terms. Today I found a fasincating entry on Matchmaking. Who writes these things? It amazes me that someone out there knows that much history about it. Interesting to muse upon (especially the mention of social dancing! :)

It never ceases to amaze me how many beautiful secret spots our campus has. In the four years I have been there, I have gone fountain hopping numerous times. Yet I have never seen this fountain until today.
I wasn't even fountain hopping - it was the first time I'd ever been to this building, I didn't know the building even existed, much less that it had such an incredibly peaceful fountain and bridge on campus. Twenty billion points to you if you can guess where this place is! :)
Just goes to show that as well as you think you know a place, there's always something more to discover.
[[EDIT]] By popular demand here's your clue:
It's near Wonderland, but you'll have to sign a waiver to get there.
Enjoy :)

Wierd for me to reread last post. It was only a short while but things have changed dramatically since then. Two boys whom I was not speaking to at all both decided to reinitiate contact with me, and one boy with whom I was formerly very close has left my life as much as is humanly possible considering the circumstances. I don't know if that leaves me ahead or behind.
I also realized that I have a work-life balance problem. Poo. I used to be so obessive compulsive. So what happened that made me care so little about the particulars? When did I become oblivious? When did I become disorganized and flusterable?
Shoutouts to Chengos, Meg, and Dave for giving me a little boost in self confidence (although the last two didn't even know they were :).
