Good God I've had the most crappy weekend. Just to give you a small indication, last night when I blogged, I blogged to my professional blog. My stress level has been through the roof. Wouldn't a job at Jimbos be cooler than this? I mean, no, I realize my brain needs this type of exercise, it's why I don't think I'd want to do a management track and get away from actually writing code. I realize that's pretty much "the only place left to go" so to speak, at least in law, but I think I've hit the climax of what I'd like to do. The ladder only goes this high. It's just that sometimes, my brain is going so many directions, has so much shit in it that I just can't get off the merry go round. That's how my weekend has been.

I raised my hands in triumph when I finally got something demo'able working on my POC tomorrow. I feel like a stupid ass. Actually I think it's somewhat beta code too. Anyway, I went to first series this morning though I debated it. I wasn't in the space to do yoga with a group of people and, in particular, the group of people at the studio. I ended up actually rolling up my mat and leaving during finishing. I willed myself through to that point and them simply didn't want to deal with it anymore so I laid in savasana for a couple minutes, rolled up my mat and bailed. It wasn't really that anything physical was going on differently than usual. Until I got to backbends and I simply couldn't find a peaceful backbend. I couldn't even get close to standing up. I realized then just how much emotional crap we store in our bodies. Well remembered is a better word.

We also went to the beach this afternoon. It was overcast and cold but really hot and sunny just a mile and a half inland. I sat with a towel wrapped around me and read a book. Then I drove to L.A. and here I sit in a hotel... which I Pricelined 4 hours ago. I walked into the room and noted it was an absolute closet. Then I opened the bathroom door and the bathroom is like the same size as the actual room. I'm pretty picky about hotels and this one is pretty lousy. It's loud, really loud. The comforter is clearly dirty (with smudge marks all over it), when I walked in the room was literally as cold as a freezer, the phones don't work, not one of the 3 phones in this room actually works and there is no remote control AND there's not even wireless. But to top it off, you have to bring your own network cable... how stupid is that.

When do you think hotels will figure out that if you have to be in a hotel room, you're not going to sit at a desk to work... nope, you want to sit on the bed and kick back. Actually a lot of Westin's have figured this out. Given that I don't carry my own network cable (God remember when you had to do that!?) and there's not even a unsecured wifi around, I'm surfing on the Treo. Slow... but I'm sitting on the hotel bed regardless.

Am going to make practice in Silverlake tomorrow morning... hopefully my aura will improve by then...

(p.s. I know a couple blogs at Ashtangi.NET are not updating properly. I haven't been able to troubleshoot why yet. I believe it has something to do with the domain name change and/or the RSS interpreter with atom files - which is why Tiff's blog isn't updating I think. Also I am going to try to put back the functioniality that the main "link" goes to the blog's home page and the "Read More" link goes directly to the individual post. I've been really creamed at work so hobby programming has had to wait... I'm just happy that the site is back up and running and the domain name is pointing correctly again... There may still be a residual issue with the mailbox handover but I'm working on that too).
