Best of 2009: Article and Night Out

Best of 2009

Parts something & something (i don't remember, ok?)

Best Article: I don't remember articles. It's sad really. I read a ton of magazines, therefore i do read articles. ... and while i'm reading them i think "i really like this article, this is really good stuff, i want to remember the things this article is teaching me" and then i usually go into some sort of weird frenzy where i try to soak in all greatness of the article. And then it leaves me. I end up not remembering all the wisdom that i attempted to soak up. So the articles that i remember sadly, are not a representation of how great they are, but how recently i've read them. However, i did recently read an article called "Homing from Work" (found in a Self magazine), and the author wrote all about the new trend (for lack of better work) of homing from work, much like people have started working from home (see how they did that? Clever, no?) Anyways, it was about this new phenomenon where people have begun doing personal things here and there at work, because we put so much time and energy into our work, we are no longer taking care of our personal line. The article went on to explain how the lines between work and home are becoming more and more grey as we begin to mix the two together. However, what ends up happening is that working professionals are beginning to become less and less successful in both areas, because they are trying to simultaneously do both. So - note to self, leave work and work and home at home. You wouldn' t think it to be difficult but it is. Especially when you sit in an office all day. Somedays, what i wouldn't give for a field job.

Best Night Out: 2009 pretty much marked the least social year i have ever had in my life. That being said. There have been a few memorable nights out - most particularily our night out to Irish Times in Victoria. For this occaision only, i have provided you with pictures.


ps that was the biggest pint i have ever seen. they told me it was an optical illusion of the glass. i didn't believe them. all in all, a great night, with excellent food, talented music, and good for the soul friendship moments.

one love
