Does everybody like the new radically redesigned banner? Note the subtly coordinated array of scribble colours. Pretty slick huh? Also, after spending so much time out skating in the sunshine lately, I decided my page looked too dark and changed that too.
It has been hot lately. For the past few nights at work, I’ve been sitting outside enjoying the warmth. I sit outside in the courtyard and listen to University lecture series recordings in mp3 format. Philosophy is excellent on warm summer nights after 1am. Listening to music is ok too, except when I listen in the dark, alone, under the stars, it triggers a different sort of response. The kind of response I’m not looking for. Early morning summer hours are perfect for digesting philosophy, history, mythology or psychology though. They help fight off the stagnation I’ve been feeling lately. They reduce the guilt I feel for not aggressively hunting for a career or contacts. Or for not working on independent programming projects. etc. etc. They help in that, I at least feel I’m improving in some way. That the day wasn’t a waste… But it wouldn’t have been anyway. I skated under a hot sun for over an hour. Had good conversation with some friends. Cooked and ate some yummy food. etc. etc. Things are good. Life is good. I just need relax and reflect a little I guess. I’m going back outside.

Hahaha, I love the banner. Cute and creative.
It is HOT AS HELL at work here, too. Ugh. Early summer mornings are lovely, but I can’t ever wake up on days off. Will you give me a wake-up call?

You are an artiste’! I think you pursued the wrong degree. I really wish I had some rollerblades. I’m in charge of planning the kids non-rehearsal event for our cast now…I think I’ll try to talk them into rollerskating. But bowling may win. Which is also ok. Go get out there and look for a job in Vancouver! (I’m one to talk…I haven’t looked for a career-type job since September, so what do I know?) OR give yourself until you actually get the degree-on-paper, but then after that, get moving. You’ll be glad you didn’t sit still too long. Trust me on that part.

your new ‘look’ scared me. i panicked, thinking i had clicked onto the wrong site. after my heart rate slowed, and some careful consideration.. i like it.
aye, that wonderplum… now i’m definitely going to have to cough up for the comic!
i suppose you could pretend that someone had legs made out of daisies… but that would just be weird. so never mind.

Yup….I agree that the early morning hours are a great time for quiet contemplation of things philosophical and the like. There is something more “mystical” about crack of dawn. And something “beautiful” about Dawn’s crack.Jake

Jakes post brought something to mind… the ancient druids thought that “The time between times” meaning dawn and dusk were the best time for mystical/religious ceremonies and often the times when they would begin “meetings” because it was thought that the mind was clearer. Just a side note and use of my inherantly useless wisdom… yet again.
