OMG. Just bought a sick SLR.  So excited!

Was talking to Yumi earlier today and realized that I've spent much of my time since March in a constant state of fangirl. Wonder if that's why I've been so tired lately.

Or maybe it's because I don't get enough sleep.

I don't know.

Watching Fever Pitch (the British original) right now. I would have read the book, but I don't know what I've done with my copy. Wasn't into soccer when I read it the first time around. Mostly read the book out of Nick Hornby loyalty. I need to reread it. I'm finding myself associating with a lot of Colin Firth's antics in this movie to a disturbing degree.

The book was a lot better though. The movie doesn't quite translate the obsession he writes about in the book.

Ended up doing cleaning and sorting through old stuff from undergrad that I have yet to toss. It was an interesting experience. Binders of research on copyright law for my honors thesis. That was kind of cool. Found my portfolio that I used for all my CalPIRG organizing AND some phone bank cards. Wonder what things would have been like if I had pursued campaign organizing as a career. Probably would have ended up going to law school eventually anyway.

Looking back at that stuff really reminded me that I was meant to do policy stuff. Just need to figure out how to get myself there.

Still don't quite understand my recent obsession with beets.

Happy Independence Day.

Want to go for a run or go outside or something.

I bought a new app for my phone last week called Zombies, Run! It's been out on iPhones for a while, but it took them a while to release it for Android. It's your basic standard running app, except they turn it into a game in which you are running from zombies. I finished the first mission today. Kind of nerve wrecking, but also kind of awesome. I actually took it out on a test run on Saturday, but accidentally stopped the mission right before I finished it. I also burned myself out because I was running faster than I'm used to so I could get away from the "zombies." Yup. This will be a fun experience.

This whole fantasy EuroCup business has made us all very awkward. We heard the people behind us in the sangria line at a Yelp event talk about their fantasy league and we pounced on them. Yup. Fantasy soccer has added a whole new level of geekiness to my life.

Lesson of the day: read the rules of the fantasy league you're in before you start. That applies to most things, really.

I try not to have a sense of entitlement when it comes to anything. Sometimes I wonder if I should, at least with the job search. Perhaps going into interviews with the mindset that I should get the job instead of thinking that I'd be lucky to get the job would give me the drive and/or push I need. Maybe. Maybe it's just a confidence thing.
