in loose formation with myself
May. 11th, 2005 08:02 pmBeen getting going on work and life, shaking out a summer rhythm... not whittling down my research hours at an appropriate pace just yet, but that will (have to) come as I get organized and settled in. Packing and inventorying the rest of this week, I think -- partly because time is running out and partly because it's nice routine labour.
Went to see the Becket show with Elizabeth, my sister and her boyfriend on the weekend... it was cheesy and thin on the plot but it had some funny moments, it was for a good cause, and it was interesting to see the show that had owned a share of Elizabeth's soul all winter and spring.
Came home for mother's day, and we converged on Alexandria to concentrate as many mothers from my mom's side of the family in one place as possible. There was lots of food, and us older kids kept tabs on the younger kids as we took a constitutional walk around a farm my cousin has put an offer on.
This week so far, I've debriefed with Matt on this year's run of 256, programmed, met with Emily about Lies revisited (watching the other programmer work is like having an out-of-body experience: we have the same cycle and rhythm, narrate debugging the same way, gesture the same... all he needs is more hair and no glasses... that's ME you're being there, except in PHP instead of ActionScript! Stop it!), practiced yoga, tried to straighten out a two month overlap between leases, and talked and written about relationshippy stuff (as an interested party and a disinterested adviser/sounding board) with a few people. And it's only Wednesday. Somehow I still feel like I'm only getting up to speed.
