Dragging Again

I want a nap. I am sitting in my cube up at work toiling away at curriculum for our new product, but all I want to do is go home and sleep. It's Wednesday, that means session 2 of 3 for the week with my trainer is from 4:00 - 5:30 and then we are supposed to go to a birthday party at a karaoke/Chinese place that starts at 9:00PM. Don't know if I will make it.

I asked two people I know what they thought about Bush authorizing domestic intelligence gathering without going through the courts and neither one of them had any idea what I was talking about. Do most people live in an isolation bubble? Come on - I don't even have a TV and I am current on the news. I am not at all able to talk politics with the politico junkies about town, but I am also not completely ignorant of what's going on outside of my own little life.

I bought Madonna's new album Confessions on a Dancefloor for download yesterday - I love it. Not only is it good music, it got me through an hour long workout without being bored. I have been listening to a few more podcasts lately too...Daegal Brain Podcasts, Dance Department, Shyla Di Chutney with Dj Shyla (Punjabi music)...and They Might Be Giants Podcast. Interesting stuff.

Gifts are a weird thing. I love to find gifts and buy them for people, but I am always afraid they won't like them, thus the first 15 or so ideas I have for each person usually get chucked out the window. Then there is the guilt thing. You don't want to give people gifts who may not be giving you a gift because they may feel obligated to give you something even though you tell them you don't want anything. Follow that?

Back to work.
