If all jobs are boring, should I return to studying programming so I can at least not feel so poor? Semi-seriously, what programming language would be the best to take a crash course in, I wonder...


I like my commute. I ride the O Bus and it goes over the Bay Bridge. My goal is to be able to identify all of the landmarks I see. Right now all I can name is: Alcatraz, Angel Island, Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Embarcadero, the Golden Gate Bridge, and (duh) San Francisco Bay. It's a stunning view! I read the newspaper during the dull freeway ride, and then let my eyes and mind rest and watch the water and seabirds during the bridge portion.
Remember the magic lavender shirt? Well, maybe it's the phase of the moon or something else, because on Saturday I got hit on (or maybe just strongly flirted with) by an AOL tech support guy. That's just...bizarre.
