it is winter here in texas. there's something i miss about northern winters: the freezing cold, pristineness of a still winter day, the innocence of snow covered landscapes...
so its nice to have a couple of days of that here in austin. plus there's nothing wrong with ice/snow days off from work. that and seeing texans try to drive on ice - good times.
so cabin fever is conquered and the city is still shut down. i'm the only one in my group at work; and i would venture to guess, one of probably 10 in the whole office. but that's what a jaded sense of work and a certain feeling of restlessness will get you.
and tonight - Alamo Drafthouse's version of iron chef along with Black Orpheus the movie. I am extremely excited about this for two reasons: i love actual cooking competitions - and I get to judge! and the movie is a brazilian classic film - so combine my love of the culture and food and it should be pure greatness. i'll make sure and fill you in.
oh, and i've begun to start writing some of my relative in an effort to start to keep up / start solidifying relationships. i'm quite bad at not keeping up attachments with those i don't often see; and i realize that family connections do mean things - there has to be some inherent connection to those related by blood that people have an obligation to uphold. otherwise - what are we? that's something that foreign cultures seem to value and realize more that our current individuality centered existences.
well, on to a productive afternoon of work.
much love -
jeff
