yet another beautiful day in E-land

I found my two lost CD's! Ah the joys of recovering a lost posession. I found my James Blunt "Back to Bedlam" CD and also my Rob Thomas CD. Oh, I think I have your Billy Joel CD, Jason. I don't know how it got into my collection. No Black Eyed Peas though, sorry.

So on my way to work, I listened happily to the crooning of Blunt in Beautiful, Goodbye my Lover, and Tears and Rain. Those three are my favorite songs. Question: in the Goodbye my Lover song, do you think the couple has broken up or that one person died?

Outside my window, a tree is shedding like crazy, dropping white pellets of seed? I keep thinking it's snowing and it makes me look again and again. If the tree were the annoying Janitor in Scrubs, it'd probably smirk and go, "made you look! made you look!"

Last night's Scrubs offers some interesting lessons on life. First, you have to follow the rules, sometimes the rules are there for a reason. It's all well and good to bend the rules once in a while, but don't let the old boys' club spirit carry you too far, everyone bending the rules for everyone else, just for the sake of friendship. Secondly, there is absolutely no point in abstaining from sex until marriage, as Turk and Carla demonstrated. Thirdly, the weirdo lawyer in Scrubs finally gets some. And he made a dying woman very happy. That's pretty darn meaningful for a rumble in the sack.

Damn, I looked again.

Last night I stayed at work until 10 PM. I used to be one of those people who jettisons out of work at 6 sharp, eager to get home and get comfy. But I am also now discovering another, more subtle joy. The joy of gettings things done! I think I could get used to this.
