A Detour Is A Choice Between Two Tasks
Jul. 25th, 2005 11:48 pm✹The weekend was in Dallas with Chris was low key and relaxing. It was nice being in a town where it wasn't raining, since it had rained in Houston for the last 20 days or so, The highlight was a pool party and games at Tommy (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
winbear) and Harry's place. We also had a good time taking Joey out to the Dog park, where I swear this SMU frat boy was giving me the eye. Not exactly my type, but flattering.
✹Meanwhile, back at work, my soon to be ex-boss wants to go back out to play golf on Thursday. I'm not sure if I want to waste money doing that right now, especially so soon to the last time. Personally, we're starting to butt heads again, as she's trying to finish and get rid of projects, and I'm trying to get my own work done, not hers. The worst thing is, many of her projects aren't really timed right to need to be finished now, and mine are. It's terribly frustrating and I'll be happy when she takes her leave at the week so I can move forward.
✹I'm getting super excited about going to Northern California, just a few weeks away. I'm trying not to stress out about it, since usually I'm a niggler for details about dates and transportation and at least the general idea of what happens when. Hans today offered up the Winchester House in San Jose as a destination, and while it sounds interesting, the ticket prices are pretty steep for a haunted house tour.
It seems that I wasn't quite as sure of California geography as I thought. Last night, before I drove home, Chris and I had a discussion of what was close enough to drive to, and what wasn't. Monterey, redwoods and Napa Valley are on the list, Mt. shasta, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite Park are off. I'm learning. Oh, the new Google Maps hybrid - maps plus satellite photos, very helpful.
✹I didn't get to see Murderball this past weekend, so I need to go sometime this week (unfortunately, in Houston it's only playing at the Greenway 3, which has the smallest seats - ugh). I'm just fascinated in seeing how this sport, quad rugby, works.
✹Why am I watching Amazing Race re-runs?
✹I keep trying to dodge Harry Potter spoilers. Luckily they will die down soon as the first waves of readers finish. I'll read it soon enough, but probably when I can borrow it off of someone. I had an offer for a copy, but I didn't know him that well, so I felt awkward taking it from him. Perhaps it's my own sense of trust and a time in the past were someone I barely knew borrowed some of my Dads 1940 edition Hardy Boys books and never returned them (ass).
Right now I'm reading Wicked, and that's pretty good.
✹A Happy belated Birthday to Miami Chris,dedos!
