Study finds Americans work more

See? I told you those Europeans are lazy-asses.

Well, Labor Day weekend is finally here, which means summer is ending, I've been in San Jose nearly a year, and I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with all my extra time. The roommate's gone, too, so that leaves a universe of wide-open possibility.

Well, I definitely have to do some work on the video project I'm doing for the Business Journal, which I will do tomorrow when I go to Andrea's house. And Monday, I definitely want to go to Santa Cruz, to get in just one more beach day for the summer (ah, do I miss Southern California). So that leaves a wide-open today. It's almost 3:30 p.m., and I haven't even taken a shower yet. That's right, I'm funking up the couch. I do need to get my product review in, so I'll probably go to Fry's to look for something cool and cheap.

I can't believe I've been here nearly a year. What am I going to do with my life?

In case I forgot to say it earlier, thanks, "president" Bush, for the $300 check!

Well, it's been a while since I updated this, but I have a good excuse.

First, I had a huge project I had to do for my church, but the weekend I planned to do it, I ended up going to Phoenix because of a last-minute e-mail deal from America West. Then my sister and brother-in-law ended up coming the following weekend, which didn't help matters any.

Then I was going to update this weekend, but ended up sleeping pretty much the entire time. So here I am, with nothing really to say. I've started another video project for work, and can already tell this one is going to be an absolute nightmare. The people in charge have no idea what they want, but want to see a preview in the next two weeks so they'll hve plenty of time for changes. Ugh.

In more encouraging news, I'm taking a trip to New York in October, and am getting pretty excited about it. Today I made a list of things I want to see for our self-proclaimed tourguide Nazi, MaryBeth Vanston. She's a fast-walker, so I'm sure we won't have much time to stop and smell the roses.
