it's my brother's birthday right now on the east coast. i called him two hours ago to wish him well.

i'm nervous about my trip to california. i should just relax because my big client told me to not take my work with me and just relax and i'll eventually catch up with work. that is why he is awesome.

the ebay sale of the tickets is going swimmingly and daf yomi is going well too.

and i'm way behind on nanowrimo but i think i have the viable start of a real novel here. seriously. I'm quite happy with what I have right now.
