i never realize how email-dependent i am until i don't have it at my disposal. today, for some unidentified reason, my email program has been locked down because someone is trying to hack into it. because you all know how many top-secret files i have on hand. it's overwhelming, trying to keep so many secrets at once! anyway, a lot of the work i was set to do today involved a good amount of email correspondence. instead, i have been fighting with my email server for about four hours. productive, no? i occasionally receive emails, but i cannot reply to them, or change them to appointments-- instead, my email program deletes everything. i say "send," it hears "delete." obviously my email program is conspiring against me getting any work done today. so, if you didn't get email from me today, it's not because i'm ignoring you. that being said, all the more reason to email me at gmail instead.

going to tahoe again in november. yay! this will be liz's first trip to tahoe. i'm excited! i like having little trips to look forward to, seeing as i can't afford the big schmancy vacations right now. what's on the books: san diego this weekend, tahoe in october and november, LA for thanksgiving. gotta set something up for december! :)

got to see kat on monday, and will see more of that crew tonight. haven't seen most of them in over a month, since a bunch of them were travelling and such. and i've been somewhat antisocial and/or busy, so that adds up to not seeing people in a long time. we'll have a good crowd tonight, though. genine and seth are probably going to come, too, and i think i'll see them again tomorrow at the beach cleanup. tomorrow, if you are not already aware, is the california coastal cleanup day. the bay area bruins are doing a cleanup at francis state beach in half moon bay, 9am-12pm tomorrow if you want to come with!

more to ruminate on, but i will have to save it for later.
