I have felt sort of moody the last few days...I have been active, just not in the mood to post.


A couple nights ago, I went out with a friend I lost touch with nigh on 15 years ago! (I saw him him at 4th Fridays a while back -- the glbt monthly happy hour here in town.) How does someone lose touch with someone else in a town the size of RVA?

Anyways, we went to Ipanema, the veggie place that I had JUST gone to with D. But that's fine with me. I had the very same thing I had with D -- the tofu sandwich, sweet potato fries and a couple of Stellas. I'm nothing if not predictable...except when I'm not...

Then, we walked around a while. We both took pictures of the cathedral -- to compare his Blackberry (I think Storm) with the iPhone (3G) camera. His Blackberry has a flash, although that wouldn't help in this situation. I like both, for different reasons.

Here are the 2 pics (the BB is first) --





Last night, I got a bike ride in after work. Usually, I walk during the week, but I felt more like biking. And I will probably do the same thing tonight.


Work is work...my pixie dust (the magical dust I use to make everything work out ok) stopped working today. Maybe my pixie dust is stale, I don't know. In any event, it is what it is.


I'm still in touch with that high school friend who friended me on Facebook a few weeks ago. He sends me an e-mail every day...so it's actually a nice break at work to find out what's going on with him.

Every now and again, I get into this mood...some might call it a depression, but that's not how I think about it. I usually define depression as being upset inside -- but this particular mood is not exactly like that -- it's more of a withdrawal. This weekend, my "bubble" hit -- I withdrew very deeply into myself, ignoring phone calls and most e-mails, and spent time thinking.

That's not so say that I didn't get out of the house or anything -- I ran my normal errands -- I just avoided all but the most casual social interactions.

When it happens, it's not typically the most pleasant experience, but I usually get some serious thinking done. I did indeed do some thinking yesterday, last night and this morning.

Now, I've decided I need to shake this off...so I'm heading off to the Bellevue Garden walk soon -- I like looking in people's back yards :) Not sure yet if D is joining with, but it's too nice outside to be in my bubble :)
