Am I in London?

there are two reasons why i could be in london. i) its crummy weather, just cold, dreary and rainy ii) the book i just finished, the main character is in london. see, when i get into a book, i feel like im that character, and i even catch myself sorta acting like that character at times. yesterday on the bus, i expected the people to have english accents, and then i remembered that i was not in london. yea... im weird

so ne way, i should be sleeping now, as it is passed my bedtime. but i forgot that i have the morning off to get my ssn, so im gonna sleep in a bit. if u count sleeping until 7 30 sleeping in.

well, i jsut had to gush a bit of the book im reading. its called something blue, by emily griffin. i lOVE it! i cant really tell if i like this one more or something borrowed more. this one was predictable, but i love it any how. i just love it when a good book makes u cry, and there were parts that i just had a really good cry over. i thnk i like it more when the main character is flawed, and they learn from their mistakes. its almost better than a heroine who was perfect to begin with. so i think that i like something blue more for that reason.

ne way, work is going. chugging along. i have learned a bit anout the building code of new york state. its actually pretty similar, format wise and stuff. and its not too interesting but i know that its stuff that i will have to deal with later on. so a little run down on the project taht im working on is fireproofing that has collapsed in a grocery store. and my job is to find out if fireproofing is required after the bad stuff is ripped out, and if so, how much. there is currently about 3-4 inches of it, which is way too much, the selfwieght of that itself is about 15 - 20 lbs. so they're not kidding when they say building code. unless someone teaches you how to read it, its hard to learn. i was atually going about the whole thing backwards, until my boss shed the light and explained to me how to read the tables and all the exceptions and stuff. so much legal stuff, harde to understand sometimes cuz there is double and even triple negatives sometimes.

have 2 little projects on my plate. just literature searches for some articles that my boss is writing and hoping to publish in a well known scientific journal for a client. who knew that there was research in to hand rails@!? the other paper is oon progressive collapse. which is when a little thing causes unproportionate amount of damage. so that should be more interesting that hand rails. we'll see.

must bring umbrella. or else i'll end up wearing a garbage bag to keep dry / warm. i wonder if you're supposed to offer your umbrella if someone is standin with you in the rain and they done have one. i think i wouldve. obvioulsy i was not offered one, today. hence the garbage bag.

i did go see boston a bit on the weekend. details to follow. pics to be psted. but later. i shouild sleep.

o yea, i joined a gym. its right by my work! so its conveneint. lucky for me, theres another location by my house too. :) theres aother long story that goes with that.

i like to cook, it makes me feel comfy and homey. i think i need a hair trim / cut. my hair is not behaving nciely in the mornings.

thats all. goodnite
