It's your morning commute. What are you doing?
Listening to whatever CD is in my CD player and silently judging people entering and exiting the tram.
The temperature outside: too hot, too cold, or just right?
The temperature is just right, I just wish there was a little more sunshine to go along with it.
Describe your current state of being.
I'm out-of-any-conceivable-loop-like-construction and I've basically just given up on trying to get back in. It'll happen or it won't. M-e-h. Meh.
Electronic planner or the old-school paper version?
Old-school paper version. I dunno, there's just something about X'ing out days on a calender that's just refreshing to me.
What's occupying your mind these days?
Many, many, many, many, many things. A better question: what's not occupying my mind these days? Answer: There is nothing that is not occupying my mind at this time.
Thoughts and feelings on plants:
They are nice to look at and if someone were to give me one, I wouldn't mind...but I also wouldn't count on it staying alive for very long. I do not have a green thumb. The outdoor variety of plants sometimes tend to make me feel sneezy...
You've decorated your desk/cubicle/workspace with...
I wouldn't so much call it "decoration" but Aliya sent me this photo holder-clip thingy for my birthday, but I use it to clip my "To-Do List" so I can easily see it. The photo that's supposed to go in there (I think) it's at my apartment. Otherwise...nothing else but papers and stuff.
Fr. Theodore Hesburgh (sp?) wrote a book called God, Country, Notre Dame. What would your 3 things be?
So easy: Döner, Coffee, Beer
Have you already had your quarter-life crisis?
I've been in my quarter-life crisis for like 2 years now.
Best thing about summer:
Drinking a cold beer outside is no longer pure torture.
Most annoying thing about summer:
Depending on location: heat, humidity, high pollen levels
Are you planning on playing Katie's CD game?
I wanna but 1.) live far away 2.) no cd burner access
Favorite purchase of 2005:
I have not bought anything really cool this year.
Something that recently surprised you:
Well, the surprise visit from my cleaning guy is the most recent surprise. My apartment was quite messy.
Next place you're headed via public transport and when:
Home around 6pm-ish
Next place you're headed via train and when:
Either Cologne or Frankfurt, in like 1 1/2 weeks.
Next place you're headed via car and when:
Hoo boy, tough question... I don't know...
Next place you're headed via airplane and when:
Well, if I don't go to Cologne on the train then I will fly there on July 11th. If I do go to Cologne by train on the 11th, then then next place will be NYC on July 14th.
Are you where you thought you'd be in life 2 years ago?
Yes and no. Geographically speaking, I'm at least kind of in the place I want to be. Career-wise, I think I'm on a track of some kind...whether or not it's the right one, remains to be seen. Personal life? Well, 1.5 out of 3 isn't all that bad? Right?
The year is almost half over. How's it been so far?
You know when Katie asks "How goes the struggle?" and then you're like "Struggle-tastic, yo" ... yeah that sums it up pretty nicely, I think.
