i'm so apathetic at work today. i've spent the past two hours or so looking at various vacation packages for the october trip that kat, setareh, and i are planning. we're likely either going to oahu or puerto vallarta, but i was tasked with finding packages for the hawaii portion. it looks like the trip prices will end up being pretty comparable ($450-500 per person for five days and four nights, including airfare), so it really just depends upon which tropical locale we intend to visit. i don't really care either way, as long as i can get frequent flier miles out of it :)

september 11. interesting that two years have gone by. i wonder how those who were closest to the action are doing. i had even somewhat forgotten that today was september 11... not that i'll ever forget what happened, but... it's like d-day. everyone always remembers what happened, even if they don't remember on that particular day. i just felt it was somewhat worthy of note in here, for that reason.

went out to play pool last night after soccer practice... i didn't want to just go home for the rest of the night, so i met up with kat down in MV. mark chu of clicc fame came with, which was fun! i hadn't seen him since he moved up here, even though i've talked to him periodically. i forgot how fun he is! :) i think kat has started inviting him to other stuff, so it looks like i'll see him more often. he doesn't live too far from me either, so maybe i'll make him make me dinner at his swank four-bedroom, three-story pad. hee! anyway, kat, mark, and i met up with andrew down at lucky shot (pool place in downtown sunnyvale, on murphy street. man, it's been a while since i've been there). andrew is in a pool league, so we watched him finish practice and then he came over to show us what's what on our table :) mark, kat, and i are all pretty pathetic at pool so we needed him! rich and grace (another cliccster!) showed up a while later, and grace joined us on the sorry-pool-player side while rich and andrew tore it up.

i was tempted to call in sick today because i was in the mood to stay out later, but i might do that tomorrow..... kat is trying to get me to go clubbing tonight. clubbing? on a thursday night?!! eh, i have so much sick time. might as well use it once in a while.

i need to get a digital cam so this thing isn't so text-heavy... although only two people read it that i know of, so... oh well. one more thing on my list of things to buy when i come into a large sum of money (read: never. heh).
