I was sweating by the time I got to the office. I walked from Central, and it didn't help that I forgot my iPod at home and had to go back for it after about three blocks.
I spent the morning doing tech research for our design project. I spent the afternoon coding up a integration prototype. The second half of the day went much faster. I've discovered that if I try to write a document for eight hours straight, somewhere around hour five I start to get really tired. Somewhere around hour seven I completely lose the ability to get anything done.
At lunch, I went to Darwin's with EP - it was the first time in over two years that I'd been there. The Brewer was still there, and I decided that I wouldn't get it a second time around. The place has changed. Their menu has improved. It now appears to have more vegetarian options. It's also prettier. I got the special vegetarian sandwich, which was a veggie burger, tomato (watch out for the salmonella, boys and girls) , lettuce some sort of mayo/salsa sort of dressing, and whatever else. Black beans in the burger. Red onion. It was worth going back for.
During lunch I played Ricochet Robots for the second time in two days. It's also the second time I've played it in months. I'm still not so bad at it - I think I tied someone for the win. Or maybe I won. I wasn't really paying attention at that point. Regardless, once I got back into the groove, I did fine. EP, LG, DM, TW, JL, and DR were playing. Good people.
I still don't know where I'm going to move. I've told my landlords (perhaps a month ago) that I'm going to be leaving. I think I can do better. The new kitchen looks great and makes me wonder if I'm making the right decision, but I've complained for so long, I don't see how I can be wrong. I'm going to move, and I'm going to like it. I just need to find a place, and that doesn't seem to be that easy.
I think I might like to stay around Central. I like it here. It's dirty enough and busy enough that it makes you feel like you're really in a city. I met DM on the T yesterday, and he suggested I look at Davis. He said if he were going to move again, he'd go back there. I like Davis... maybe I should consider it.
