at some point, it's all plan B

A Captain Has To Go Down With His Ship
I'm actually too depressed to blog. The title should suffice. See you all on the other side.

After The Show It's The After Party
My weekend was spent watching the Entourage marathons instead of working. Yes I said 'spent', not 'wasted'. It's not the other way around, you know.
But as I was telling my 'peeps', you don't really take a break when you take a break these days. There's always that little voice that reminds you that you should be doing something work-related even when you're not, if only to take some of the workload off the rest of the week. And it's probably that that sucks the most.
...
(This is a week delayed post. I've resorted to looking at the past again because the present is the pits.) If I'm not mistaken this is the weekend we went to Red Box and "sang" til four in the morning. Where I learned that a) people pretend to not know "All For Love" (theme from Three Musketeers) and b) people don't know who sang "Your Song" and c) I can't stop thinking about...work.

That Cold Black Cloud Is Coming Down
I've sunk into a(nother) deep depression. I want to think about something else.
Everything just bites.
...
So I turn to TV for some old-school comfort:
...
What a vicious double team: I eat when I'm depressed, and I'm depressed because I've been spending too much time at work which is also the reason why I haven't been to the gym. It would be funny how it all works out, except it's not.
...
We are an organization in transition. We'll see if it all works out. I'm hoping it does, because I can't possibly take any more bad news at work. I do wish this new development gives me a chance for a do-over. Maybe not the kind I'm hoping for right now, but at this rate any chance to regroup and reinvent is good.
...
I miss my non-HP friends. I miss the history and the roots. I miss Makati malls and rock bands and tired high school stories. I miss ripping acoustic music and the Da Vinci Code.
...
I had this thought sometime during the week: that I have a weak heart. In quite possibly every sense of the word.
Everything just bites.
...
So I turn to TV for some old-school comfort:
- I'm a couple of hours away from finding out who killed a busload of students on Veronica Mars.
- Everyone on Entourage is sporting a RAZR and now I want one too.
- Guilty pleasure: Teen movies. I don't know if Win A Date With Tad Hamilton counts as a teen movie, but lines like "Sometimes Goliath kicks the shit out of David. It's just that no one bothers to tell that story" kills me.
- Guilty pleasure: The food review on what used to be "F".

Walk Without A Cut Through A Stained Glass Wall
My family has taken my camera so I don't have pictures of Thursday's freak storm (or its aftermath). But we have the rest of the blog community for that. I just want to say I want my cam back.
...
Like so many of my entries, I had an epiphany but now I don't just have the words. It involved listening to other people and stuff. Bleh.
...
I was in Makati with half of a recently broken-up couple and I was trying to be funny: "You know what we need? More deathbed memories (a term I picked up from Top Gear referring to 'this car, on these slopes'). So that just before I die, my life flashing before my eyes will take three hours."
...
Win or lose, it's the school we choose, dammit.
...
Friday's despedida/videoke fest for JerWOM was a good break before October hits. But maybe I shouldn't have let myself go on Heart and Vanilla Ice. There goes my rock credibility.
...
Finally I found some time to start reading again, and it turns out Lolita is very creepy. I should stop referring to it when describing my preferences (literary or otherwise).
...
October hopefully will turn out to be a better month than September. Home stretch, people! Let's make this work! Let's have Christmas off! I want to go to all those drinking sessions in December! Exclamation point!
...
Asynchronous Javascript and XML is the devil, apparently. I'm already designing it my head on how I can revert the entire app back to straight-up JSP with minimal effort, if it comes to that point. Hopefully not, of course but you never know. Thank God we used custom tags.
...
I realize that I may have lost the ability to string more than three sentences together to convey a coherent thought.
