if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

I had a conference call at 9:30 tonight, and then I had some work to do, and now it's 11:30pm. However, I did take a break for dinner, and hung out with my roommates (+matt and -arod, since Arod is on vacation and Matt usually eats in our apartment). I'm trying to figure out what to do for my birthday, but I don't feel like investing a lot of time in planning, and so we'll see what happens.

I've downloaded the new version of Google Desktop Search, and it includes a Sidebar which I have fallen in love with. It integrates with my email, the news, and a scratch pad that is like having post-it notes on my screen. This is great for me--now I have my main to-do list on a notebook on my desk, and the major things that have to be done yesterday on my sidebar scratch pad. I further differentiate by using varying numbers of asterisks on items on the scratch pad, since by the time they make it there, they are extremely pressing. Such is my life, I suppose, and it will be until I go back to California.

Anyway, the best part about the sidebar is that it includes a section for photos; it is a never-ending slideshow of photos from my hard drive, and so I'm seeing tons of pictures that I haven't seen in a v. long time. In honor of this, and to share my favorites with all of you, I'm going to start putting up a new picture in my profile every couple of days until I get tired of the game. It shall replace the top ten list, which I stopped updating around my second week here. If you have any requests for photos, let me know! And now, it's time for bed!
