Skipped a Beat

Despite the rain, I spent the weekend down in Pebble Beach at the Pro-Am Tournament. As we can all see, my ability to do schoolwork is fairly non-existent this semester, which is somewhat of a problem, because there's so much of it this time around.

Anyway, I've never watched a golf tournament before, and sadly, I have to admit that watching paint dry would probably be more interesting. Fortunately, I did see several celebrities, including Bill Murray, Emmitt Smith, Kevin James, Peter Gallagher (from the OC), Kevin Costner, Michael Bolton, and Ray Romano. The highlight of the weekend was when I saw Tom Brady. My heart definitely skipped a beat. I was an arm's length away from all 6'5" of him. I would post pictures, but there were strict rules against cameras.

And sadly, I'm now back in Berkeley for another week of classes. Why again did I decide to come back to school?

My Own Worst Nightmare

I made the big switch today and became what I never wanted to become -- a corporate whore. Not that I wasn't a corporate whore back in the day, but today, I bought a PDA/Smartphone. Back in the day when I was working, my company bought us all Palm Pilots. Then at my next job, we were all given Blackberrys. Mine never left my desk. But now, I actually went out and bought one for myself. With my recent schedule, my calendar was starting to explode and I knew that I needed something more to organize my life than my current pile of post-it notes and scraps of paper.

So today, he became my new best friend. I haven't quite decided what I want to name him yet. Any suggestions? My only issue now is the fact that I need to figure out how to transfer my pictures of Michael Vartan from my old phone onto my new phone.
