i went for pizza with lisa and we talked about Eriko and her boyfriend, Ken. then we met up with the homies at mcmenamins : mark, aaron, jerry, joe, and melanie. it was fun – but the best thing was that i held my lavish self in-check, i had one piece of pizza and one glass of wine. =) i’d rather have spent the evening with Eriko, i think.

Apparently I am helping contribute, as a portion of my patch for clamav-milter was accepted by the maintainer and submitted upstream to the maintainer of clamav. It feels awesome to contribute!

Eriko sent me an email in which she talked about a conversation she had with her mom. Her mom asked her if she was getting married soon and Eriko responded, “i don’t think so.” Then her mom told her that they need time to save up for the wedding. I think the joyous moment for me is that knowing that I don’t need to rush and knowing that she doesn’t need to rush – if our love is true then there is nothing else we need to ask for. Thinking that both our parents are giving their blessing is just icing on the cake. Good, semi-sweet icing not that super sugary stuff that I don’t like. ;P

they say ‘alls well that ends well.’ my only complaint about this weekend is that its almost over. ;P i wasn’t as productive as last weekend but thats OK. i think i’m going to be busy this next week; tomorrow i visit UW to attend a meeting for those interested in the PMP, tuesday i meet with my apartment manager to check out a studio. i’d like to go swimming at least twice this week, do some GRE study, nail at least one or two of priority 1 todo items, and completely clear out my bug queue at work. i hope mom recovers quickly and fully.

I’ve had a good week so far. There have been some ups and downs but I think I’m making good progress on my bugs at work (even if they are the most of anybody). I’m sure it doesn’t look very good for me to have so many bugs. Once they’re fixed it isn’t so bad but right now its not so good. ;P Eriko is missing me and I’m missing her but we both know that neither of us can come running over; she has to figure out what she wants to do and I need to get my career moving. I feel realy lucky; we’ve been having some good, in-depth discussions lately and I like the way she thinks.

i didn’t go swimming tonight. why? i was enjoying talking to David. my frustration occurs because i can’t do everything i want, i have to make choices and live with them. where is the fun in that?
