Kinda like Shaft, so you could say I'm Shaftin'

No real time for a proper entry (I'm back to an hour, hour and a half commute and it's really tiring) but here are several notes.

1. I really miss dancing. I watched some tango recently and said 'yeah I need to do that again'. Looking at UCB and SJSU social clubs.

2. Driving in new boots is a lot like masturbating while wearing oven mitts. If you masturbate at 65 miles an hour on a crowded freeway. Okay, so maybe it's not a lot like that at all.

3. Being able to fly anywhere I want would be a lot cooler if I had the time and the money to actually do so. But I still wonder how hard it is to get an Australian visa.

4. I think it's time to prune down my Friends list again. I've pruned my social life, that seems the next logical step.

5. Driving up 280 means it takes a lot longer to get to work, but it's a lot prettier. It's also prettier on the way home. And the drivers on it are suicidally insane in a completely different sort of way.

280 is much, much, much better. Though it took a little longer when we needed to go to San Mateo every day (forver ago), I always took it. Less traffic, prettier, fewer big trucks, and you get to see cows, horses, and sometimes things like storks and deer and rabbits.

My drive to work is now 7-8 minutes on mostly small roads, but sometimes I drive up 280 just to see all the grass and hills. Those "scenic viewpoint" turnoffs are really worth it, too.

By the way, I heard from Erica Aks yesterday (for the first time since we left). She just had a baby girl. Jordan Leigh. She got laid off the day after learning she was pregnant. How's that for sucky timing?

Oh hey hi.
AltaVista has never been known for their keen sense of timing. (:

I stopped on one of those scenic viewpoints to, well, view the sunset, while I was there.

So, yeah, 280 is A Good Place.
