over dinner last night, one of the dinner guests asked me how work has been. after sifting through the many possible responses, i replied saying "like arts and crafts." everyone at the table stared back at me with blank stares.
it would be untrue to say that i have been "arting and crafting" for an entire two weeks. i have, however, spent much of my time at the office creating dividers, organizing binders and scanning plans. i do not mind the work, but if it continues on for too much longer, i may actually decide to find "real" purpose.

tadasana: tree pose
on my best yoga days, while i am in this posture, i literally feel like more life enters my being. it is a feeling i have difficulty conveying. it is simply extraordinary.
more tall, more peaceful, more content, more free.
more breath, more energy and so, MORE CHI.

i do not like bacon
in my recent return to cubicle work life, i have noticed the strangest sensation with the particular office building where i now work. right around 8 am every morning, when the cafe downstairs has been open for about an hour or so, the elevator bay area is overcome with a strong bacon sensation.
unfortunately, i am not a fan of bacon. and it is ironic, considering all of the architects and engineers in this building, that the cafe's kitchen exhaust fan fails to route correctly out of the building.
meanwhile, every morning, continuing into the afternoon, i smell of BACON!

single awareness day
this may surprise some of you, as i have yet to discuss this freely, but today i am celebrating single awareness day (SAD).
i suppose i could be not single and celebrating this holiday. i have perhaps been doing just that for the past five years. this year, though, i am single on SAD.
it's a complicated and lengthy story, one many probably want to know, but i shall reserve the details of my recent breakup for a less public setting.
here is the funny thing about relationships in light of this valentine's day business. i have never received flowers on this particular day of the year. and i have never wanted to. but this year, the absence of flowers serves as a constant reminder that there is no one to NOT receive flowers from.

conversation with my sister
"i got asked out at church today."
"cool."
"uh, not really?"
"why?"
"he's nineteen, and a hawthorne police officer."
"oh. does he know what you do and how old you are?"
"he knew what i did, but not how old i was."
"so, are you going to go out with him?"
"no."
"why not?
"what do i have to say to a nineteen year old?"
"oh, okay. i guess people don't date for fun when they meet at church."
