welp. 5:30am and i've been up for almost an hour now. WHY? I don't know but I fell asleep on the couch downstairs and apparently will wake up in 4.5 hours when i do that. Narrr....

Forgiveness Plug: Came back to a whole slew of Sametime, MSN, and ICQ messages that I missed at which I have to say I'M REALLY SORRY for missing them! :( I've had a terrible online presence in the past uhmm...yeah, for a long time --- I'm SORRY!!! :(

I also think there's something to this whole waking up early thing for people. I mean, I start thinking that I can go to work or that I can get caught up on some stuff...and here I am - blogging. Why do I tend to do this when I wake up early? Because I tend to really like the quiet time that I'll never get during the day or at night (er.. 'evening' by defn to some) :) Course, I start thinking about all the things I have to do today...oy. Maybe no wanna go to work afterall!! Hrmm...i do want to go to work though so that I can leave early; is anyone else going to the W.I.S.E event down at U(t) today? Plus, hermie's heading off a soft skills training session for 2 hours today and I need to make up time for that ;) (hehe damn you!)

Cool ish? Have a read of "New Age Dawns At Eclipse" :) As you can see, EclipseCon is next week and I don't get to go! Narrr.....would liked to have gone to Anaheim and my buddy even asked my manager if I could go (hehehehehehe...well, after he told me to make his poster presentation for him and do random tidbits of work so that we go there with a nice little product to show off). Course, the price for asking was that he wanted to win the IBM Lab's "Buddy of the Year" award, at which I said I would give him a "Breakfast for One" coupon. And no, the point of the article is not EclipseCon but shhh!

Fencing was really good yesterday but I completely lost my footing. I was working late and thus came almost an HOUR late ...ugh! :( I really didn't want to but I really wanted to get some code committed. *sigh* Had a great time though! 2 students and 2 instructors ;) muhahahaha... actually, khoa asked the instructor if maybe we could bring a couple other people to a class for fun if we were going to have low attendance and he said SURE! :D Thus, anyone want to come fencing in Markham from 6-8PM next Wednesday? :D Let me know!

Now...the really sad thing? For the past 2 days (monday + tuesday), I've been coming home to watch Gilmore Girls. haha It's SOOOOOOOO addictive. ugh! Yes, I'm a girl. *hangs head* But really! haha I'll come back to the computer and talk to my fellow addicts (Yulian & Vivek) about GG. *sigh* I really need to get a life. I know. I do! But after the season's over! Not now...not when GG is downloadable and on TV every Tuesday (WB), Wednesday (Global) and Friday (Global -- sometimes)...*grin* GAUGH!

*sigh*....(lol. i really did just sigh)...

time to get back to reality. It's either time for some sort of work or sleep....hrmm.... ;)
