It's Come Down to This
I don't know about you but I need a reason to get up in the mornings, or more importantly, to go to work. Well...besides the obvious.
And two amazingly wierd incentives come to mind:
~~~~ I think about all the food that is stowed in my bottom right drawer. My boss complains that he is running out of filing space all the time and I find that hilarious. Because I'm storing enough food to hibernate for the winter. In case anyone was curious, there are assortments of almost any food that can be considered as "junk" and/or "snack." Candy, chips, chocolate, rice cakes, granola bars, cereal, and of course, PITUH chips.
~~~~Mad for Music. Commuting to work takes anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes, so about 2 hours back and forth. I decided to make the best of this otherwise boring and tedious journey by exploring different albums, artists, soundtracks. I've even dived into my old music collection, some are shockingly good, some are still ghastly, and not surprisingly so. Don't YOU wish you had a two hour drive everyday. Plus when I get to work, there's launchcast. In the next room my boss has Bloomberg TV or Bloomberg radio on, and he laments the fact that we can't get CNBC on a TV. Something about cable wiring. I just chuckle to myself because I'm blasting Indie Pop. Aaaaassss the stock market crashes. J/K. But it could happen.
So yea. Two cheers for the musically inclined fatty.

Look Michelle, I read your blog! Crap! I've been really anti-social because I haven't heard back from UCSD yet and I don't want to talk to people until I can tell them that I was either accepted or not, but I'm going to give in on the premise that as soon as I do something else, the thing that I was waiting for will materialize. So wednesday beer?
cheers indeed.
I notice your launch is growing.
Another thought on your commute, have you considered audiobooks? It's a great way to get through books you've always wanted to but never have the time to. I spent a summer renting them from a local library and burning through them on the drive to work.
I suggest:
Edgar Allan Poe Audio Collection;
Where the Red Fern Grows;
The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism
