OH yes. battling the sickness, the flu, the cold, the whatever. I am trying real hard not to get sick yet I feel like I am on the borderline of getting sick. I sneeze and get running nose only in the morning (and I believe 100% that this due to the dirty work environment and allergy), getting cold through out the day when everyone else seems to be all comfortable and warm in the sun. Getting itchy throat from time to time through out the day especially at night... it's like I am almost sick but not. I bet my immune system is fighting real hard as I type right now. So what do I do? I keep eating "healthy" food, drink cups of green tea (Sushi Bar Mild Green Tea by STASH PREMIUM from Trader Joes-- best green tea I've had so far), eat lots of sushi (or I plan to) and of course take my daily vitamin from now on, one pill per day after lunch. Hopefully I can build up my immune system and become a wonderwoman.

It's beautiful outside and I feel a true tech company should supply each employee with a wireless capable laptop. We should all be sitting outside on the bench under the sun, "working". A real working environment should be like that, I really think so, not like this. But it's okay, I can deal with the sun coming in the window and the occasional sneak preview of the weather... just gotta stand up and push the blinds aside to let the sun in... sun = happiness. And much sun is needed here.

Looking at a great work of art makes one feel more fully aware of one¡¦s thoughts yet no longer wearied by them, more exposed to one¡¦s emotions yet no longer drained by them, more integrated, more composed ¡X more, in a word, conscious. It is the light of consciousness that great works ignite in our minds.
-- Julian Spalding

I feel all aspiring artists would be inclined to agree and appreciate this statement very much, and this quote should underline all art works. With a little creativity, some honesty , and originality-- art will be appreciated as art no matter what genre it belongs to.
