another evening, trapped in the office, techno music blasting as my mind zombies into a state infused with perplexed code and a damn desktop that keeps phasing in and out! i’ve been having problems all day with my work area as i might call it. [sigh] my project launches tonight–yay!!! finally….there’s a launch party in about half an hour where we will hopefully chill back and relax.i bought my ticket last week to go to new york city this friday…i cannot wait. i’m gonna stay with anna whom i miss so dearly much. there’s so much for the 2 of us to catch up on…then on tuesday, i’ll make my…

I worked a lot last week. My weblogs were getting monotonous…so sad. It snowed in Seattle also at the end of the week—like, real snow. That is, it actually stuck on the ground and was a little difficult to drive in..but it was just a few inches. I found it hilarious how this city just crumbled at the site of snow. All the news stations called it “Snowstorm 2001!” [insert dramatic bass line]…and then after it all melted after just one day, they all talked about “the aftermath of snowstorm 2001”. All the schools closed…some businesses…but not Amazon! It was pretty seeing the snow…I immediately ran out and took pictures.…

i’m at work at a really ungodly hour. i’m here to push out content for the video/dvd group to announce the Oscar nominations. there are a surprising number of people that get on the 5:15am bus. we set back launch of my project by 2 weeks…for PR/Business reasons. i actually feel better about it. i was a little worried. last night, i went to my first yoga class with peter…it was so incredibly invigorating. i immediately signed up for a 2-month membership and have vowed to meet peter at this yoga center at 7am at least twice a week. if things go well, i might quit my gym and make…

oh, i’m tired. i’m still at work…hanging out with robert and ezra, drinking dr. pepper. i’m worried. i don’t know if we will launch.

i’m at work again. but i got to eat yummy malaysian food care of HB as a result.

i’m at work again. but hopefully i can leave soon. i’m definitely going to IKEA tonight. watched the first 3 episodes of the sopranos last night.

wow, it’s 9pm and i’m at work. i’ve been here for the past 7 hours…on a Saturday!!! i didn’t think i’d be here this long…i was just going to come in for about 2 hours or so. it’s all about last minute bugs. i was even going to go to IKEA to buy my neat bamboo curtain..but there goes that idea. i just want to curl up on my couch and watch a movie at home tonight. i have to come in again tomorrow. betina got a full size bed today and was assembling it as i left. perhaps i’ll see her more often now, with a larger bed (yay!)…

i’m tired. long day…but a good day. right after work, i made dinner and headed off to see the pacific northwest ballet’s “sleeping beauty” with phoebe. a very long ballet–3 hours. the girl who played aurora had major problems holding her attitudes even though it comprised a large part of her choreography. god, i miss dancing. i think i’m going to quit the gym. i don’t know what i’ve been doing…i’m not really a gym person. i want to take classes at a dance studio and start up yoga…something to refresh my mind. i’m completely redoing my bedroom. i just got a new bed frame…i’ve never had a bed frame…

what a nice weekend…I got to hang out with people that I don’t see that often. on friday night, brad invited me to his friend rick’s bday dinner at typhoon where i met a bunch of his college friends and his best friend from san fran. afterwards, we just headed back to brad’s place where i engaged in the most interesting conversation with his good friend matthew, matt, sousa…whatever people call him. anyhow, i had a really great time meeting all of brad’s friends and just talking to all of them. i then spent all of saturday with phoebe in southcenter. that place gets more and more ridiculous i go…

ick…what a hard week it’s been in the company. there were really huge layoffs on tuesday–15% of the company. i had a few friends that were let go…so sad. the overall mood is fairly somber, especially within editorial. some friends question the integrity and soul of this company. i don’t know what to think. i feel like this is definitely a good move..and if we hadn’t done it, i don’t know how we’d survive in the eyes of the investors this next year. at the same time, could we have accomplished our goals without the layoffs? this is a much bigger hit than last year’s which was only 2%. fortunately,…
