Today, when I left work at the reasonable time at 5:30, it was dark. Not sun-setting, not dusk, dark. Maybe I'll get to see the sun again in February. Goodbye, old friend.

Delusions of Fame, Delusions of Wealth: The Pleasures of Entourage
This weekend, the twisting of my rubber arm caused me to watch tons of old episodes of Entourage. I love the show, but I find it to be dangerous -- and not just dangerous because it’s so addictive and one half-hour episode can easily turn into ten half-hour episodes and five nonrefundable hours of my life -- dangerous because I get sucked in to forgetting that I’m neither rich nor famous; nor is there any reasonable potential for me to become so.
I find myself thinking, even long after I’ve left the glamorous glow of the TV, that there’s really no reason I shouldn’t drive a Maserati, date A-list actresses, and indulge in the ritzy pleasures of Hollywood. Is the life of a civil engineer really that different from the life of a movie star? Sigh.
