Tiger in the year of the tiger

10 pointers for the day

1) Welcome.
2) I drove to Delaware today. It rained; it sucked; I talked a lot about myself to strangers and went through tiring interviews; I was tired by the time I got back home.
3) I think Delaware is under-rated.
4) The interviews went well.
5) I realize I haven't really spoken to either of my brothers in 3 months. And not since the organic matter hit the fan a few weeks ago. I wondered, today, how they're doing.
6) I realize I'm not really wild about going to Nigeria in August. But I have to.
7) My awesome boots arrived today! They're here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EDDHG0/ref=oss_product

They have 5 inch heels. The most eloquent way of describing them is simple: "they're f*cking awesome!"

8) I watched my first illegal movie online today. Slumdog Millionaire. Last week, I read the book on which the movie is based; I thought the movie, sadly, sucked.
9) I bought 4 fire/carbon monoxide alarms yesterday, after I almost went to sleep with a pot of boiling water still on my stove. They're backup-backup-backup fire/smoke alarms. I'm paranoid like that.
10) I joined Facebook again. I wonder how long before I leave it again.
11) OK, more than just 10 points. I watched 'The Blind Side' yesterday. Not my favorite. In fact, apart from the shiny stuff (nice house, nice cars, etc) and a triumphant performance by the little kid, I thought it was a veritable snoozefest! America's obsession with race is unusual - if the story did not cross racial lines, one would not (as Nigerians often say) hear 'pim' about it!
12) I'm going to see my parents this weekend and to Yale to see my sister next weekend - at least that's the plan.
13) I have to pack up my stuff from work on Monday.
14) I spoke to my boss today. He wants me to start work on the 12th April.
15) Sh!t. That's not a lot of time to pack up, move and settle in!
