recent news? sure.
another fella left my company today. Well actually he's staying with the company but with a different branch over in Manhattan. Crazy. He was the funny canadian. we still have the not-so-funny one. That's all I'm going to say about that.
Got my real-estate tax property assessment in the mail. Value has gone up, which is nice considering it went up a little more than what I pay yearly for my mortgage and maintenance fees. But surprisingly it was the building appraisal that went up and the land value remaining the same. Eh. Mo money is mo money I suppose.
Decided to cleanup a bit tonight. I threw out a couple of boxes of crap I'm not using. I almost threw out a big box of books because I thought it was only magazines... But then I looked and there were some more vonnegut books I thought I had lost, and some group photo at chicago's medieval times from when I was 17. I'm a packrat, could you guess? Anyway, I got kinda nostalgic. It didn't help that I had norah jones' second album on (but not that stupid song with Dolly Parton, fuck that shit) and then I put on some Otis... But I guess no matter how good you have it now you tend to look back and think where things could have gone better. Or something. Not exactly regret, but just missed opportunity maybe? Hopefully it'll help me figure out all the crap that's going on. If I don't figure out my career in the next year do I go back to school? am I sure I want to stay in Seattle? and if I'm not sure why should I paint, or buy new windows, or put any money at all in this place if it's just transitory (again). And why am I buying a bunch of materialistic things if I want to get back to italy so bad. I can't strap a pool table to my back now can I? I guess I've been kind of moody lately. Meaning bad, not the roller coaster kind. I can't wait for this canoe trip across the san juans. But in the meantime, what the hell, I'll go back to dodgeball tomorrow and tear up my quad again. sound good? weee!
