YAWN! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!

Things are kooky. I'm tired. Physically and mentally. I want to go home and I still have 20 minutes left at work.

In the past 2 weeks, I have been reunited with my friend Sandra from high school, my cousin Ginette, and my friends Kyle and Brandon. Kyle is the one who introduced me to the music of Belle & Sebastian. Belle & Sebastian is how I met Ben. Pretty much everything that is good in my life can be traced back to Kyle. It's been years since I've spoken to him. i am very excited about this! I found all of these people on Friendster.com. It's very addictive, Friendster is. More addictive than Blogs, I think.

In the last month, I have decided that it's time to find a new job. I am really hating this one. There is no way I am going to have any opportunity to grow here. Things are run so unprofessionally. I've been clinically depressed the whole 2 years I've worked here. I think it's time to move on. I don't want to be "stuck" here just because I'm planning to move to London in just under 3 years. That's enough time to get some good experience working somewhere else before I go.

In the last 3 weeks, I stopped going to psychotherapy. My insurance alotted sessions ran out for the time being. Plus, I've been feeling better. I've been trying to raise my self-esteem. It's difficult. Also, I don't know if Ben and I would ever see eye-to-eye on the therapy thing. I guess depression and therapy isn't really talked about in England. I'll probably still go occasionally, though.

In OTR news, I am still 10 pounds lighter than I was at the beginning of the year. I have not been being very strict with myself. I need to be better about that.

Last weekend, Ben showed Me and my brother Tony and his wife Tiffany and our friend Vicky how to play cricket. It was fun and really good exercise.

I saw Manchester United play in the flesh for the first time on July 27 here in LA. They beat a mexican team called Club America, it was fantastic.

Five minutes to go and I'm outta here!
