And the winner loses all

Monday, February 28th, 2005

Since this journal has been low on personal content as of late, what I say next is going to come as a shock to those of you who I haven’t already told. But the truth is it’s been looming since this fateful day.
Rob and I have decided to take a break from our relationship in [...]

So, a few things.

My birthday is coming up.
I’ve decided that once people reach a certain age the purpose of birthday presents changes from celebration to comfort.
Rob got me the bestest present ever.
I told him I wanted

He surprised me with it yesterday, a beautiful hardback edition with [...]

Back when I made my mix cd of California Songs, I put a sound clip in it of someone reading the following quote, because I thought it was pretty:
San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long [...]

Well, I got back from skiing last night. I didn’t want to return to the real world. Being away made me realize that most of what I spend my time worrying about (see, obsessing over) day to day doesn’t matter a jot in the larger scheme of things. Guess you could say it was refreshing. [...]

Today, someone posted a link to photomicroscopy of snowflakes on Fark.com
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/photos/photos.htm
They are breathtaking. It engendered a discussion about whether the existence of beauty proves the existence of God. Some quotes from it (in smaller text):

So I’ve been sick. I’ve had the sore throat from hell. No other symptoms – which is strange – but the throat has been enough to make me feel like I wanted to die. I think it’s finally getting better, but it’s a little hard to tell because I’ve been so heavily medicated the past [...]

Snow pictures…

…are here!

Good news: The internet is working at home now
Good news II: Finally got to see Nick and Susan last night, and it was fun!
Bad news: My throat is persisting to hurt, so I think it’s more than just dry indoor air :(.
