solstice

another day, another . . . well, better make it a half dollar, because i only worked half a day today (but i still get the full dollar - see? isn't personal time great?).

fitting to only work a half day because today is the winter solstice - the shortest day of the year. you wouldn't want to overdo it and work a full eight-hour day and miss it now, would you?

with my free afternoon, i went to my favorite local cuban restaurant (salsa, off howell mill road) with my friend k., and then afterwards we went and saw the movie "what the bleep do we know?." really, that's the name of a movie.

sometimes, i wonder why i can't just go to a normal movie like everyone else . . .

also, for those of you keeping score at home, of the things to do on my "list of 10 things to do" for this holiday season, i've only accomplished one - checking on the unsellable condo in vinings. and since i discovered there that the toilet needed fixing, i had to add a task to the list, so it was kind of a zero-sum gain - i still have ten things to do on my list, even though i completed one.

good thing the day wasn't any longer.
