new ben on tuesday makes me happy...

this weekend i registered, so there's no turning back now- saturday, october 13th i'll be running a half-marathon in hartford.

i won't be collecting $ for charity, but i will be accepting donations for my ride home:

a post in honor of my favorite latvian spy

i knew if i searched around long enough i'd find proof that special agent natasha did indeed wait in the breadline:



now what do you have to say about that? i know all your secrets ;)

c'est fini

finally, i can put the summer semester to bed.... i just finished my 15 page case study for immigration law. good thing you're not trying to haul these bags across the border!


needless to say, tomorrow is a sick day for me, because it's nearing 1am and i'm still awake. that *never* happens on a work night unless it's some kind of school-related torture.

speaking of work, i've been wanting to do a post about this since last week- first the visual (what i see when i look out one of my two windows at work):


then the email my boss sent:

Subject: Vestibule

Something needs to be done with the vestibule between Gary's office and mine. I've told you about all the drug dealing that have been going on there. Yesterday, early afternoon a very drunk man walks up and urinates on the window in Gary's office while he's sitting at his desk. After that he passed out in the vestibule and Gary had to get Mario to remove him. With the coming rain today our department will smell like one of the walkways in the Downtown Crossing station.

We really need some help back here.

mmmmmhmmmm- sitting at my desk on thursday last week, minding my own business when a drunk guy decides to pee on my window. at the very least it could have been some young college beef to drool over... oh no, instead i got a sun-dried andy rooney that just downed a gallon of cheaperthancheapnailpolishremovervodka.

bet you don't get that in the burbs, now do ya?

survey says...?

summerschool is almost done and i'm starting to enjoy this thing called 'free time' again :)

so i thought it was time to shake my blog's case of that-not-so-fresh feeling and update it's tired look- maybe this will encourage me to get back to posting on a more regular basis... so vote on the new digs (survey over on the right)- if everyone's happy it stays.

hope everyone had a good weekend!
