yosemite

pics of yosemite didn't mean much until i saw the valley for myself. the hikes we went on were no joke but worth every muscle ache.

SJ memorial

chatty cathy

some people just talk too damn much. i ask, "how was the movie?" and he interprets it as, "give me a detailed summary about the movie please". i don't get it. some people just keep going without any feedback or follow up questions. in my mind, i'm expecting a 10 word response MAX but i get a 10 minute response? oh hell no. i feel like it's pretty obvious to know when a person is interested in lengthening the dialog and wants you to continue talking. you know, like having a conversation where all parties involved participate in the exchanging of words. if i'm not asking any follow up questions, i'm not interested in what you're saying so wrap it up already and land your plane. i get so annoyed mid speech that i can no longer hear them and can only think about how to escape this interaction. at this point i regret even asking in the first place! i walk away at the first chance i get and while i'm totally relieved, i feel sorta guilty for not being invested at all. but really, it's their fault! don't people get those social cues? had i asked one question just to be polite, well, that would instantly be an extra 10 minute commitment there. good grief!

the runner in me

work is hosting a nike+ cardio challenge and i'm happy to report that i reached my milestone with 6 days to spare! the challenge is from 5/23 to 7/4 and i set my goal at 75 miles. this is impressive only because i absolutely hate running. here's a picture of my nike+ avatar i created. does it really look like i'm half korean, half indian?

fix-a-windshield

last week i witnessed a rock hit molly's windshield, which left her a nasty chip. i've been up to my ears in little car repairs these days so this angered me quite a bit. the chip would eventually spread into a big crack and the thought of having my windshield replaced made me want to punch someone. but god must have heard my prayers because the next day at lunch this exact topic randomly came up with a co-worker and he told me about fix-a-windshield! i tried to take a pic of the end result but seriously couldn't find where it used to be. i'm totally amazed!
