business travel

after a saturday at disneyland with the in-laws, i'm in a hotel room getting ready for a couple of workdays in the LA office...to which i'm not really looking forward, but not dreading in any way...it's just an inconvenience working in someone else's office space, if even for just a couple of days.

BUT. when entering my hotel room, i found a gift basket that had been left for another guest. tempted to not mention it to anyone and just pilfer it for myself, but that's inviting bad karma. so i called for someone to come pick it up.



there's something odd about finding physical evidence of a previous guest in a hotel room. it's not as if one expects that nobody's been there, before...but cracking that sense of "sanitation" or whatever is just a tad unsettling.


disneyland was fun. it's odd, odd, odd, how disneyland inspires a sense of nostalgia for something one has never really experienced. that's good emotional manipulation, right there.

a collection of memes has been making the rounds, so here's a bit of it:

nod to calvin:

4. Are you naked? rarely.

5. Are you a blond? i'm not, but people think i am, because my calico-colored hair is going all white.
