. i forgot how old i was a few minutes ago. i was convinced i couldn’t be more than 31, at best. maybe still 30.

no, im 32.

this happened a lot for a while after i was sick, between maybe 28 and 30. i think it happened because i felt like my time being sick wasn’t real somehow, that it didn’t register in my brain as being alive. or learning. who knows.

. i got an xbox 360 last weekend. i bought it to feel less lonely when sitting in my apartment. it’s worked decently well so far, though i need more xbox friends. last night i played an online game with strangers for the first time. that was every bit the disaster i thought it would be. i don’t think it counts towards social time to have to listen to ignorant assholes who can’t even read the word ‘idle’ on the screen nor know what game they are playing. all in all though, it seems like it was a good purchase. time will tell.

. ive dreamed now about zombies (from the xbox), some weird sex dream and (i think) a work related dream, all in the last 3 nights. i think there is more, but the best was the whole bit about flying to hawaii to escape zombies. because, you know, zombies cant swim. or fly. that was a genius idea.

. i think in the next few months, i’ll feel more comfortable talking about work on here. that’s nice — there is something good about not discussing it, but at the same time, it’s the majority of my life currently. i’ve become a manager, am an engineering lead and have done a bunch of really neat stuff that i’m pretty proud of. so there, maybe i just talked about it anyway.

. it’s foggy today. that’s not the same as rain, but it’s better than no weather at all.

. i had a semi-fight with my sister last week, one that had been building for a while. we had drinks on monday night and i think things are ok. i don’t like that things got to the point of me having to say crap like, ‘i want to be a good big brother to you.’ but there we were. i think it’ll be ok.

. and at the moment, that is my life. the hope is to come up with a better answer to ‘what’s new?’ than my usual ‘nothing.’ but thus far, i’m just digging myself more and more into a routine. i have gotten old, afterall.
