today continues positive, as yesterday did

wow. today so far is excitingly exceeding my expectations. first, i checked my email and recieved a personalized email saying that a particular company had seen my skill set, mentioned these skills and why they would be important for the company, so i shot them a résumé, and now will talk to them this afternoon. the temporary agency called to tell me that i'll have an interview on monday for the temporary/contract position in the company that i have been hoping for. i recieved an email from a friend inside that company just checking up on me. also, another friend is working on maybe getting me talking to a gaming company, so i'm overwhelmed, but in a very good way, as i've been waiting for two months to get something of this caliber.

today is particularly dreary outside here in seattle, that never-ending sprinkling of rain, the overcast sky, the cold weather with a strong wind. i wish i could have a fireplace in this apartment, but the heater is very comforting anyway! hopefully my wife and i will have a game night tonight with some friends, maybe make some hot cocoa. last night, i made my favorite coconut chicken curry recipe, which i'll share as i had earlier promised: chicken poached in coconut curry. it's really flavorful, and fast to prepare, as well as only requiring five ingredients: chicken, coconut milk, curry, chicken broth and yams. last night, watched kiki's delivery service, i dig the miyazaki films. saw castle in the sky the other night, but i think princess mononoke will remain my top, followed by spirited away. howl's moving castle was good, but i preferred the previous two that i mentioned.

so now, i'm sitting here, listening to "takk..." by sigur rós, thinking about maybe putting on"( )" after it.. just some positive sounds to keep my spirits high, eating reheated left-over curry, which is really nice and warming. looks like no physical exercize today, unless game night does indeed come up.
