news?
*wave* 'ello to anyone who reads this any more... =j
trying to think of what's really been new and am relatively blanking.
of course having blitzed some of my braincells last night *might* have something to do with it ;-)
hrm...
(1) today would be Day 5 of my practicing of صوم ṣawm (fasting for Ramaḍān)*
(2) had an awesome braincell destroying fun time belatedly celebrating Cody's b-day drinking on a rented trolley and going from bar to bar; got to see lots of cool friends and make some new ones
(3) looking forward to fun this weekend and the Unicode conference next week
*: no, i'm not muslim; years prior i had mercilessly teased a close friend/coworker who _is_ muslim and whatnot... this year, for solidarity, the experience, remorse/repentance/atonement, and the attempts to somewhat purify myself, i decided to do at least one day of fasting, which then has turned into 4. today.. i'm overly dehydrated from the prior night's partying and it's right WARM today AND there're far too many yummy events this weekend... i just broke fasting by having a cool refreshing sip of kombucha... at least one thing i'll've learned is how to appreciate the basic food/liquids we take for granted.
i can definitely say that it's a very very interesting experience... ya learn a lot about your self and push some envelopes.
(zomg... this leftover burrito is *heavenly* to eat as a lunch.... ) <-- case in point....
ok.. enough for now.. >>appreciatingly enjoys nibbling on burrito<< ttfn
