I took a week off work to burn up some of my accumulated leave hours (or else I would lose them by end of calendar year), so since I didn't travel anywhere, I instead just ate and ate and ate my way through the week. The reviews of almost everything I ate are here.
Ok, maybe it wasn't completely about eating - I also went to optometrist, did things for the cars, donated stuff to Goodwill, and watched Captain America and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, reviewed here and here.
It was a peaceful week. But now I only have one more day to go til I return to Mount Doom. Too bad there is no ring that I can toss into the fire to destroy those evil, power-mad people running the damn place.
I was actually reading an interview with the Dalai Lama. In it, he says that hate is the root of all evil. Uh oh - given the hate I feel for some many things (mostly related to work), I think I have the propensity to turn into Darth Vader one of these days. But I guess that's why the need for leave from the office. It takes the hate level down a bit, so that the sanity and reason and compassion can come back into the system. That's the only way I have a chance to stay a noble Jedi Knight.
