It amounted to Indri being very inquisitive. It's not a trait she's proud of. Fear of being pushy, I suppose. But I love it. When she's in that moment, she's got the unashamed curiosity of a little child. (Again with the "cute" shit). It's also nice to see someone unconcerned about admitting they don't know something. Nothing makes for a better conversationalist than someone asking questions. And -- personal preference -- I like nothing more in another person than the ability to hold an interesting discussion.

There were other parts -- other thoughts -- that reinforced all this. But I haven't figured out how to convey those thoughts well, yet. (I really wanna sleep).

I'm leaving for New York in about 2... 2 and a half hours. I'll no doubt be very cranky for lack of sleep. But then again... I am going to New York. I probably won't stand out.

I'll miss Pixel. But other than that, this trip will give me good reason to ignore my clients. Stupid thought occurred to me today: There is really no time whatsoever where I can say "Yay! No more work. All free now to do something completely unproductive.". Not that I don't slack occasionally. Just that it's is always a trade-off now. There's no completely free time left in my life.

All in how you look at it, I guess.

Made another minor discovery about two days ago.I have been doing my second-best to try and avoid concentrated sugar -- mainly in candy. There's not a whole lot of noticeable effect, day to day, other than the occasional need to fight down a urge for chocolate. I still obtain candy, occasionally, such as the package of gourmet sweets given to me by a business contact recently. Couldn't let it go to waste. But I was getting headaches every day. Occurred to me the only days I was getting headaches were those days I was eating a lot of chocolate or candy. Left the candy alone for the last 2 days. No headaches.

(Somewhere out there, Indri is going "duh!")
