The electricity went out around 3pm yesterday and has not returned yet. So, what does one do when there is no electricity? If that one is me, she gathers her laptop, traverses into Oakland, gets a hazlenut latte, and does some work. I could have stayed home and read or amused myself by writing some of my less than exciting poetry and other such ramblings, but i'm actually in a working type mode. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked this week, and I'm on the verge of finishing up analysis on what could be some very interesting data on the amygdala (the emotional epicenter of the brain). Thus, I'm here. That's why i love this office though...it's mellow, and the kind of place you don't mind going to on the weekend.
What I read in the news today: Nader has been accepted on Florida's Ballot (oh goody). Now, not that I'm opposed to choice or the green/reform party (i advocate them highly). BUT, we all know that in reality we have a 2 party system and Nader could quite possibly be a large factor in this election. (I'm for Kerry if you hadn't guessed).
What I heard on my cell phone today: A message from my friend in Colorado. This is particularly nice because my cell phone has been off (not able to charge it due to this pesky electricity problem)...thus i was happy to do a quick check and find a message. woo!
Why today is a good day: Well, the sun is out and should dry up some of this rain, Ivan has run it's course, my boyfriend comes back from NC today (YAY!), it's birthday eve for one of my best friends, AND I'm alive, which essentially makes everyday a good one.
