i'm waiting for something to download from india. you'd think that i'd be satisfied that it takes only ten minutes for a large file to travel 10,000 miles (that works out to 1,000 miles a minute, pretty fast, right?), but no. i'm impatient. 

though i knew it was never going to happen, my last attempt at convincing my boss to send me to san francisco for the comic book convention happening there in early march was officially kiboshed, and that makes me sad. jetblue is having a ridiculous sale, $218 round trip to oakland, and i'd love an excuse to go. although, at that price, i could probably make a case for a three day weekend, or something... leave a thursday night, fly red-eye sunday night? that'd be some hardcore quality time. *sigh*. more like *SIGH*.

why is work so worky, i ask. tuesdays are especially strange, as are fridays, because i'm the only person from editorial in the office. the little cluster of editorial desks is empty, and mine happens to face away from the rest of the office, towards the wall, so it looks like i'm being a pompous asshole and ignoring everybody, when really, i'm just a pompous asshole whose desk faces the wall.

all right. my download is done. my life is gripping. actually, i am about to proofread the balloons on a comic book, and that is kind of gripping. 

later, gators.
