corduroy licorice really knew how to the fill the bill. he developed a gourmet line of duck feed.

today was the first work day in awhile that i didn't listen to my soothing summer pop album "pretty together" by sloan. it's a great backdrop for clickety-click-click keyboard strokes and rapid mental gear-shifting. i felt its absence ever so.

today is the first work day in awhile that i will leave before 8 p.m. 'tis still twilight out.

today was a day that i got inspired by a coworker who has high ideals and is willing to fight for them. sure, it involves the art of commerce versus patching the ozone, but still. i was inspired by his joan of arcness. he managed to rub a bit of the jaded haze from my corporate-weary eyes. that was a very nice surprise.

today was a day that my ever evolving self-realization mojo gelled a bit more. i think i'm supposed to be using my funny bone more than i am. i'm good at making people laugh. i like making people laugh. now i just have to find a way to get paid to make people laugh. now that's laughable in itself.

until the morrow, my mellifluous mississippi moonbeams.
