I asked Linda to place my final offer on the Highland condo today. It is the max I can spend but nothing I’ve looked at has come close to the same feeling. We’ll see what happens. =)

well, i don’t know if my wedding will have a best man although i’ve often thought about it. finally, after all these years, if given the opportunity, i know who i will ask.

Eriko told me that she made the reservation for the shrine over the phone. They will put money down on the 30th… I had trouble sleeping, apparently I want to work on my project for Isilon because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So, I’m up.

i find myself often listening to sentimental music or daydreaming of events, past or future, which strike me emotionally. it is a very curious process. perhaps the daily routine (in a very loose sense) is so logical and devoid of obvious emotional impact that i conjure up things? maybe it is to find balance? i must daydream about sad events to counter the happy times, which make the present elation even more real? but i also daydream about happy moments in the future, which strike me in a very similiar way. overwhelmed with gratitude. perhaps i am hardening my emotional receptors in anticipation of rockier times ahead? i’m quite curious.

yet another night of non-contiguous sleep. the last night i slept solidly was the day before Eriko arrived and i can’t even remember besides that. it has been a mixture of things – thoughts, temperature, Bailey… i’m such a tight schedule that i can’t just laze indefinitely. which reminds me, time for work…

i had a full day of work (almost 12 hours), made another offer on the condo on QA and completed my homework due Wed. I finished just in time for Seinfeld. =)
