An update on life

(May 24th, 2007 - 2:43PM)

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three weeks since my last update.

I want to get into the habit of updating this site more often. I've said it before, but it's not a matter of having nothing to say. It's a matter of motivation. I feel pressured to make each post count, to say something meaningful and helpful every time, and that means that each post requires a lot of effort.

Here's a general update on my life.

I saw Spider-Man 3 twice. It didn't get much better the second time around. Although it was decent, and certainly watchable, it paled in comparison to the first two. I'd never been bothered by Tobey's acting in the past, but in this movie, it really stands out. The romance scenes are perhaps worse than those in Star Wars: Episode II. I was really disappointed, because I loved the first two movies and had high expectations for this one.

After seeing Spider-Man 3 for the first time, I returned to my car to find that someone had hit me and run off. I'll need to pay a $500 deductable to get my car repaired.

An old acquaintance that I never thought I'd see again is now back in my life. I'm trying to decide what this means and whether it's a good idea to be speaking. I think that sometimes it's best to cut your losses and move on.

I saw Sadie and Dean for the first time in years. It was fantastic to see them again! They've just gotten married. I'm so happy for them, but also a bit envious because they're so far ahead of me in the love game.

I've been going to the gym a lot. Today will be my seventh consecutive day. I found out that I can bench 220lbs.

Work has been going very well. I'm on the third revision of our application interface. Today we had a big meeting to discuss the progress so far and the managers had at it like a piñata. But that's not a bad thing. That's the type of feedback we need.

I've been seeing a girl. Kind of. We're not dating, but we're hanging out. Who knows.

I'll hopefully update more often as time progresses.
