Shifting focus.

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

All of this thinking about getting out of California lately has been consuming my life, and the Red Sox in the playoffs again isn’t helping.

I need to shift my focus elsewhere, especially since I don’t think I’ll be able to make the move anytime soon.

So what should I focus on now? What to be for Halloween? How to pay off my massive pile of student loans? The upcoming election? The forgotten honey bee crisis? The new Knight Rider series?

All viable options, but it’s October and that can mean only one thing — it’s time to focus on the Red Sox in the playoffs.

Which means I’ll be seeing a lot of coverage of Fenway Park and the city of Boston — a glorious city located on the east coast.

sigh….it’s an endless cycle.

Vote, dammit!

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

The video told me to tell 5 people. That’s about the number of people that read my blog. Works out pretty well.

Seriously, register to vote, and then vote in November. Or vote by mail if you’re lazy like me.

East coast visit

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

After a crazy couple of weeks at work, I was lucky enough to have a short trip planned to head back to the east coast for my cousin’s wedding.

Normally I wouldn’t be all that excited about taking a red eye flight across the country only to turn around and fly back less than three days later, but as you may have noticed, I’ve been missing the east coast quite a bit lately.

It rained the entire weekend. I didn’t see the sun once. It was cold and damp. And I loved it.

I also got to spend some quality time with the Irish half of my family in combination with an open bar at a wedding. Needless to say, it was a good time.

My mom switched over to extreme cooking and baking mode the following day. She does that a lot. The level of extremity increases exponentially with the number of sons she has in the house. All three of us were home this time. As much as I love her food, I’d love to see her relax for once.

I’m already looking forward to my next voyage to the east coast, which will last an entire week and begin in New York City.

I like California, I swear, I really do. I just happen to like other parts of the US a little more.
