Wednesday, May 26, 2004new format?
back from academic hiatus. ahhh. i have the summer to relax and become as idle as possible. well, not really...
but i'll enjoy my three months of magazine reading and television watching with great enthusiam.
work is getting more and more hectic. we are in the middle of our publishing cycle which means that proofs upon proofs are piling on my desk while i try to plough through them as quickly as possible. its not looking good for me. this just means i have to stay late again.
i killed a bird a week ago. i was driving to the salon and there was an unusually low flying bird in my line of sight. i contemplated braking or atleast slowing down, but i underestimated the poor survival skills of this particular bird. i kept a constant speed with the notion that the bird would eventually lift up or move out of the way of a large black object barreling down its path. it did not. and in the three second span of the bird actually flying towards my car and me thinking about when it was going to move, THUMP.
i look in my rearview mirror and all i see are feathers everywhere.
i still feel bad.
when i got back from the salon, i tried to look for the bird on the road, but alas, it was gone. hopefully i only bruised it and it flew away sans ten or twenty feathers.
this week is going by so slow. holiday weekend, hurry up.
