Time	Event
9:35a	gonna be a bright, sunshine-y day here in northern california, it's hard not to smile when the sky is full of fluffy eiderdown and the sky is bright and blue, at least not for a new york transplant like myself. b on the other hand, a near-native, complained yesterday of the lack of rain. she is demeter to me, ceres. she is the embodiment of that which makes the soil give up life toward the sky. come to think of it, my skin does feel kinda dry...

2:36p	my next palm will be rechargeable news yesterday that handspring is going to transition away from visors and toward blackberry-type things or something wireless at any rate. i like my little green visorpalm thing, sure, but i don't really care that the next one i buy someday will be by another company. one thing is, it will be rechargeable. i'm on the lookout for AAA batteries - forgot to get some at lunch. did some quick-and-dirty template page dezines for ezone vol 2 and the rearview-mirror mask random photo display thing i'd like to put up there. wow, launchdotcom just had sonic youth doing 'shoot' from 'dirty' with van morrison doing 'these dreams of you' from 'moondance' in the background, on the new window i opened...

8:20p	downward facing dog made a rare resolution near the end of last year to "try to do yoga - or some other form of exercise - every day in the upcoming year." of course i caught a cold on 1/3 but i had that try thing in there so it didn't kill the mood. mostly i get up early and do some yoga in the morning. it helps me cope and makes me happier. but i've been needing to do the winding-down thing lately. b had an evening meeting in mountain view, so after seeing her off with money, coffee, and a map, i put on my evening yoga cassette, featuring the sonorous voice of my old yoga teacher, robert gray, and... i forgot how different it is at the end of the day. it was obvious how much my body needed this, every bit as much as the tightening/slacking oppositions present in every post i mean pose. now i'm trying to cook some potatoes and pasta with pesto and sage, and oil and butter. how hard could that be? Current Mood: calm Current Music: iko iko (Comment on this)
10:13p	zen and the art of writing checks i used to be a terrible bill-payer. even when i did have enough in the bank to cover the unopened envelopes. one thing i discovered is that i hold my breath while actually writing out a check. i end up breathless, gasping, or rushing with my scribble getting more and more illegible. unless i notice that i'm basically in a panic. we are bleeding our life blood! scream the insecure voices in my internal community. deep breaths even better Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: too much (Comment on this)
11:14p	them crossed-out to-do's been getting stuff done! time to purge all the crossed-out stuff on my palm desktop, but not to forget (at least the nonconfidential stuff) these completed to-do's: set up princeton interview with interviewee register for deadcon transfer home savings to joint savings fax SYX agreement to shipyardxchange.com get printer paper complete SYX contact namechange, fax to Netsol pay bills, update budget green bin Current Mood: energetic Current Music: margaret warner - lehrer hour on tape (2 Comments | Comment on this)
