Being Back

It doesn't quite feel like the summer is nearly over. Yet, lo and behold, it's July 20. July 20! My internship at Accenture is over half over, I've finally had a chance to see most of my Bay Area friends at least once, I only just yesterday unpacked the suitcase i've been living out of since moving back, and I just got word that it's time to book my Fall classes once again. I never fail to be amazed at how each day can slip by when you're not looking.

My cubemate said to me today, I wish this day was over! Now, this is a pretty typical statement - particularly on sucky days when work is just killing you - but c'mon, it was only 11am! It's like pulling the ejection seat while the plane is still rolling down the tarmac. 11! I think I was still chomping down the last bit of the donut I bought for breakfast.

In another, completely unrelated incident (except that this, too, occurred at work), but another coworker came into our cube and chatted with my cubemate. As this transpired, I caught a glimpse at his shoes and was floored. They were some huge, scaly shoes made out of something that looked like alligator skin. The skin must not be too flexible - the shoes looked about 5 sizes too big for him. They were so loooong and weird reptiley - almost like flippers. I had to turn away and snigger to myself. It was the same kind of snigger I enjoyed oh-so-thoroughly last quarter when I realized that one of my team member's last name was iamthongthong. I AM THONG THONG. is it a name....or is it Sysqo's latest single? you be the judge.

So yeah, my brain's still a bit mushy and I can't spit out a coherent blog entry yet. It's like I snapped out of coma but forgot how to walk. it's all good, I'll just take this back to normal life thing one step at a time - or at least until I'm whisked off to school once again.

Hello peeps, I'm back from the abyss and have a bunch of random thoughts stored up in my noggin. Here goes, before I explode.

• it makes me sad when people who like taking pictures stop taking them. or when those over-eager video camera types start leaving the camera in the closet. does it mean they don't treasure the memories as much?
• office space is funny as a movie. not so much as your life.
• my little brother can go a whole day without saying a word at home. wow.
• you make up a whole lot of stuff in consulting. the rest you just ask your client.
• ok, i get it now. i have weird hair.
• i got cornered hy a weirda (it was a girl) at a party. she made weird faces when i mentioned people we both knew and was so proud to know senior management types. suffice it to say, i went to get a refill...pronto.
• bschool stuffed my brain. i think i'm still chewing on mid-november.
• 70% asian. 20% south asian. 8% white. 2 % other. Rogonacci numbers.
• i miss Recess, Orroroo, and Choose Your Own Adventures
• tots is great!
• Most of the people in my life go way back. Is that why they are the people in my life? Or is it that I've chosen for them to be in my life, hence we go way back?
• For some reason, I feel desensitized to a lot these days (maybe because I'm still chewing on mid-November?)
• I wonder if anyone will read this (FunAlley's been quet, I know).
• Congratulations to my bro Jer - you'll be a great doctor!
• Congratulations to my bro Danny - may you find your passion at UCR
• I think I need braces.
• I'm becoming one of those worker people who come home so tired they can only eat dinner and watch tv. And they spent all day in front of the computer so they don't want to go online much either. Couch potatoville, here I come...
• But how will I write my book that way?
• Bush never ceases to amaze in a jaw-dropping sort of way.
• Good night
