Airlines need to stop advertising all their cheap flights everywhere, please. It’s way too tempting for a travel bug like me, who has very little vacation time. I saw one today for $299 one-way ticket to Australia . I want to go!!! Aww man, so many places I want to go. Flights to like Ireland and Amsterdam and Denmark and Switzerland are all so inexpensive. Not to mention all the transcontinental flights – Philadelphia , Florida , New York , Boston , etc. Here’s hoping prices stay low, at least until I accumulate more sick leave.

Is it really still lying if it’s by omission? I know something about someone because someone else told me about the something but the someone has yet to say anything to me about the something. Wow, sounds like a spy novel or something and confusing to boot.  But yeah, I guess I haven’t tried to be subtle or really brought it up. But still, it’s something kinda important and there was a semi-announcement made except I wasn’t there. I’m trying not to dwell but I’m sort of always the last person to know / find stuff out.

Sometimes I think that I’m still friends or keep in touch with people because of where I currently reside. Most everyone I know from growing up and from college is still in Nor-cal. But being one of the few who defected to So-cal, I have one of the few places that people can crash at. Not that I’m resentful or bitter that people stay at my place. On the contrary, I’m grateful to have at least now reconnected with some old friends. And I always have a blast when there’s company. It’s just sad when they leave. Come visit – you’re always welcome!

I’ve been noticing more and more of my friends have been drinking wine. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re all getting older and wine is the more “sophisticated” choice over shots, cocktails and even beer. But I just started warming up to beer. I used to be all about the fruity-girly drinks. Something about the wheat and barley flavor was a turn-off. However I’ve come to acquire a taste for beer. Now I need to move on to wine? Seriously?  I guess it is like beer but grape flavored so it shouldn’t be that hard adapt to a new drink. And it is supposed to be good for you. But I don’t know if I’ll ever be a wine connoisseur. What’s next? Cognac or whiskey? That’s what my dad and I imagine, older people drink.
