goodbye?

i wrote this post a while ago, but just haven't been quite ready to pull the trigger... or perhaps i didn't want to do it before getting bar results, since i knew if it went the other way i'd take this back... but, here goes.

~~~~~~~~~~~
I think it's time for me to lay this lil blog to rest.

Partly because nothing interesting happens anymore. Partly because i don't have time to write about the stuff that does happen. And mostly because I think it's time for me to become... a real grown up.

as much as I may not want to, so...
(we'll see how that goes. :)

signed off,
v

p.s. the other reason is that when i first started really posting it was cause i could use this little place as an outlet for all the random things i found funny/interesting/odd and didn't want to email people about all of them so as not to spam... but these days, my emailing volume/capacity no longer exceeds that of my friends (in fact, i fear (sadly) that i may be on the lower end now), so now i don't have to "restrain" myself from emailing anything i want.
p.p.s. we'll see how long i stick to this. :)

lazy blogging

ummmm (contented, not perplexed)

massages are such cure-alls. i feel so much better after. i really have to remember to get them more often (only prob is trying to get back to work after!)

these were perfect for the post-massage slow moving mood:

Torres del Paine, Patagonia

Golden Gate Moonrise

Snail Race

the slowest hours....

"new fiscal year" never meant so much to me...

today was the first day that "counted"

i.e. i wanted to see how efficient / productive i could be when i actually really tried... and...

i am so exhausted.

fall foliage... in CA.

i've seen more fall foliage in the last 3 weeks in MV than in 3 yrs in NH.

purple and gold and red and orange and yellow and green... colors are everywhere. all along my drive to work/home and around, there are three rows of gorgeous trees (on both sides & middle). i took some photos on my Treo, but haven't figured out how to upload those yet.

and the best part is you can enjoy all this in 70* weather. or while frolicking in a park on a lovely Sunday afternoon with your puppy... wearing a tank top. yep.

this is what LS does to you

after 3 years, blogthings.com thinks that:

You Have Your PhD in Men

You understand men almost better than anyone. You accept that guys are very different, and you read signals well. Work what you know about men, and your relationships will be blissful.

How Well Do You Understand Men?

hahaha. yeah right.

a dog in hiding

apparently, Rocky is " a lovely dog." But there's a contract out on his life. Here's why.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Gangsters have put out a contract on Rocky the sniffer dog's life because of his success in stamping out drug smuggling inside a prison.

The black and white spaniel has scored a remarkable record of 10 busts a day in his first fortnight on the job at Limerick Prison.

Prisoners inside the top Irish jail have been suffering cold turkey since Rocky's sniffing abilities cut off their drugs supply.

Some of Limerick city's most notorious criminals in the jail's D wing staged a riot and smashed all their TVs in protest at the new recruit.

Rocky has proved such a success as prison detective that criminals inside the jail have ordered their associates in Limerick's crime gangs to have the dog killed.

They have tried to take pictures of Rocky on their mobile phones and send it to gangs outside the jail so that contracted hitmen will recognise the drug buster dog.

Because of this Rocky's whereabouts when off duty are kept a closely guarded secret.

He is a lovely dog and is rewarded for each hit or bust he makes. He's the best-ever recruit the prison has had in fighting drugs.

swapping war stories

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other, outside the operating room. The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?" The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out, and I'm a little scared."

The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and whenyou wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze."

The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?" The first kid says, "A circumcision."

The second kid replies, "Whoa, good luck buddy. I had that done when I wasborn. Couldn't walk for a year."
