First day back to work.

Am AMAZINGLY tired. Hella lot of information crammed into my head in a short period of time. Still, I can do this.

I find it amazingly...quixotic? Is that the proper word? Eh, go for the easy one...Ironic that Anthem is within my view out the window of the cube I'm in for now. Really? That's probably a good thing right now. There was a lesson I should have grabbed there. The reminder is good.

Ate at City Market with several of the techs, and was made to feel welcome. That right there is kind of amazing. Ate as..Chez Olivia? Or some such...good sandwich shop that my trainer recommended. Me? I'd have been happy with Enzo's (think that's it) Pizza...which is what used to be Luca Pizza, for many who grew up in Central Indy.

Tomorrow? Work all day, then go to the north side and see Clerks II. Will post a review tomorrow night, behind a cut, so it can be spoiler. This weekend? I have no idea. Am actually scared that I'm missing something I set up a month or two ago, but will just ride and see what it is. No reminders are popping up.

Though, I will say, to any and all travelers who are coming to this state, have safe trips.

Hmmm...I may have to remind myself what Quixotic REALLY means in the future.

quix·ot·ic Audio pronunciation of "quixotic" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kwk-stk) also quix·ot·i·cal (--kl)
adj.

1. Caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; idealistic without regard to practicality.
2. Capricious; impulsive: “At worst his scruples must have been quixotic, not malicious” (Louis Auchincloss).

Mobobocita, feel free to add that to your list of words. :-)

Lunch tip

There's a place over in City Market, although I can't remember the name, which makes the BEST clam chowder this side of Cape Cod. And I say that as a Yankee. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth it.

Glad it's going well.

*hugs*

*nod* It's learning, and the others seem to like me there. That right there makes it amazingly better than Anthem. May try the clam chowder..never developed a taste for it before. :-P

I think of Quixote jousting the windmills when I hear "quixotic." I think of heroically delusional. But I never looked it up :).

[per_solo]

Yeah, I think it's definitely a word I need to remember sometime.

And thanks below. I'm less scared than I have been, but now comes the "Ok, time to work on this" angle.

I dunno...think there's a market for a Callahan's Type Bar? ;-)

BTW: Hooray for your first day back at work!

To be in Spain now that there are windmills

Or where was Don Quiote set? (I am sure did not get the last name right). Sir, It is so nice to converse with you regarding this recent change of most fortunate events. I know that several folks thought me to be quixotic when dealing with COJ - and they were right, but damn it - if we give it up now, where are the dreamers, the thinkers, the ones who wake up in the time of shadows and see a fluff rabbit nibbling on grass (actually right out side my window it appears).

You inspire me and just wanted you to know it.

Be well,
Tony

Thanks, and you've done a fair bit of inspiration yourself. Can't wait to see how things start coming together for your own convention next year.

And Quixotic works for the COJ...*heh* Maybe that is a good word for the chaos going on there, or the hopes of what it could be.

Be well too! "Never Give Up, Never Surrender"? Think that's the right quote.

I wish I could make it to the movie with you. Enjoy the end of your first short week back at work.

[per_solo]

Eh, another time...talk Jess into going again, it's well worth it. I want to get a lot of friends over to see it.

The first short week was good, this next one will be more tiring, but good as well (The paycheck for an entire week should be nice).

I always go for jumbo's at the city market! mel did their signs ages ago and their sandwiches are huge! Congrats on going back to work!

[per_solo]

Thanks, and may have to try that later in the week (after first paycheck). Cafe Olivia is good, and had Enzo's (Ah, that took me back to Greenwood Park Mall memories. :-P)
