No wonder my belly isn’t as small as it used to be! For brunch this morning, I was treated to pancakes and bacon. For dinner, I will eat some absolutely DELICIOUS Indian food. My mouth is watering even now, as I think about it waiting for me in the kitchen. I just spoke with my parents, they are doing well. The driveway for their new home in Pennsylvania was completed and they were able to park their temporary (aka motorhome) on their property. Not only that, but they ran some telephone wire, so they were able to speak to me at the same time! Well, until the brand-new cordless phone (will wonders never cease) ran out of batteries.

No, not for me. For my good buddy Alex. He and his wife will move back to Seattle, after a year and some stint in Federal Way. I hope he can find a good job up North so he doesn’t end up moving back south. I’m getting tired of moving him all the time. ;P Eriko, I can barely wait to move us. X)

Big day on Monday, I have a phone call with a gentleman from Isilon. The job sounds exciting, the company sounds exciting, the work sounds exciting, the location sounds exciting. I hope it all turns out true. ;P Right now I am eating lentil soup made by the fantastic Gateway to India on 6th Ave. Truely splendid. Drooooolll……

Well, I’ll have to admit I felt like a college student a bit tonight. I went to dinner (organized by the Japanese teachers) with several students (about 30). I rode with four youths, with some Japanese pop blasting (hurting my ancient ears). I was the only one at the table to order some sake, and the way back home consisted of listening to Star Wars. It was an entertaining evening, but we didn’t speak much Japanese! Not to mention that all I really wanted to do was talk about Eriko, which is just another sign that aALLY wanted to do was be with Eriko. As usual.

Possible cures : reading Linus’ biography, dreaming of Eriko, dreaming of life with Eriko, dreaming of Eriko, dreaming of being a professor, dreaming of Eriko, writing a diary entry, wishing I was holding Eriko now.

If I am lucky, I will be able to obtain 3 used hard drives for about $75. Why is this great? Because I will be able to build more computers, of course! There are many things I want to play with. Why not? I don’t have a job, now, do I?
