My ankle hurts. Badly. It’s been in pain all day. About a mile into my 3 mile run this morning it started to be a touch painful, but I just ran through the pain. Big mistake. I won’t be doing that again. I’ve been limping all day, and even a bit depressed about the idea that I may have some sort of injury. I’m taking the next 2 days off, which was planned, but we’ll see how I feel on Thursday as to whether I run or just do some other exercise that day.

I’m headed to San Diego tomorrow morning for a job interview. Should be a good time. It’s with a really cool company that does work that really has a chance to affect people on a daily basis. I keep hearing the question, “What do you want to do in the field of HCI?” My answer has stayed the same throughout this year: I want to design things that really matter to people. I want to affect people on a daily basis in a positive way by creating transparent, useful products. If people use things I design without knowing they’ve just used something that was labored over for weeks, then I’ll be happy. Maybe I’m an idealist (no, I’m definitely an idealist).

I’m *really* excited about sushi and late night mexican food. That stuff is just second rate here in Indiana. Oh…I can’t wait. The weather there will also beat the weather here, hands down.

I’m listening to a new band this evening…The Killers. I really like them. They’re kinda like Hot Hot Heat, but more rhythmic and more poppy. I’m not sure I like the name, but other than that I’m enjoying them…

Ok, time to pack. Wish me luck!
