I'll really enjoy the holidays. I'll really something something. They say we get a day or two of work off. I'm not planning to work on the days before or after either. Supposedly, I have to ask for personal time off, but there's always the chance it will be declined. Declined meaning, the company declines for me to take time off. Anyway, I suppose I'll put the request in. I'm supposed to. Suppose. Sup! I'll be closer to the workplace while I'm vacationing. I'm going to Oakland! Or someplace nearby.

I don't exactly know where the house I'm staying is located, but it'll be near Beanie somewhere. (Beanie, my older sister, the college educated one.) I'll get to see Beanie in her typical habitat. Perhaps I can get lost in San Francisco again, or see Teatro Zinzanni, since the guy who sold me my car seems to run the place and offered me a free show.

Most of today was spent putting in one last tweak to code before I left for a mocha and food. Result: I didn't eat or drink anything until 6 pm. One last tweak would be fine, but you never quite know which one was the actual last one. Oops, that was the second to last one. Or maybe third. So I worked on that all day, making sure nothing would break in unusual situations. That's important. Sure, having things working right now is important, and being elegantly simple is important, but having things respond well to adversity is really really important. The Germans have a saying, or so I hear: "Why make it simple when it works when it's complicated?" Striking a balance between working well and being simple is an important part of this complete breakfast.

[The world] gives us millions upon millions of images - distractions - all saying the same thing at the same time: DO NOT THINK. --Mike Patton
