  • the big day!

    OK, signed a million things today to move into pad. Unfortunately I’m sick and feeling really rundown, which also gives me very little patience. I had to yell at them this morning (picutre: five people sitting around a table at escrow office) becuase they were all bickering about the “key-transfer” date. Heaven forbid we call…

  • now it’s alicia keyes

    OK so you hear a few bars of a song as you’re racing through the dial trying to find a singalong 70s station, and that song becomes the mantra for the week. “because a real man/ just can’t deny /a woman’s worth…” I always found that to be kind of preachy, but now that it’s…

  • gwen stefani has left the building

    For having that ballad in my head for a few days, it has finally left. yay! Worked out last night, did 45 minutes, a total of 250 cals or so (acc. to machines, which lie, we know). Pretty good, ran a few minutes and didn’t feel legs get achey. Legs were not achey this morning…

  • feeling blah

    Kind of feel let down after finishing novel. Also had one workout day, but really need to get back on wagon. Ended up working out so much on Wed. that my legs were all tweaky at night, sore from the exertion. Had a “break” yesterday, just watched DVDs. THis morning did some stretches. Thing was…

  • the red/blue map

    ok was chatting w/ friend and she thought I should blog this: the problem with the US Map distribution of “red. vs. blue” votes is that it doesn’t take into account population. CBS has a nice “tower” looking 3-d map, but it’s still sub-par. In linguistics we had a language diversity map that skewed the…

  • voting day

    Interchange w/ guy at work, he’s like “how is your head?” I’m like “oh so you know about that too.” he goes “we all know about it, we’re whispering behind your back… ” me “I think that’s wierd, nobody talks to me about it” him (He just riffs on the refraine of whispering and walks…

  • 3 shots! 1 free throw! soooo many fouls…

    I was a killer, man, it was total Shaq moments… except for the slew (slough?) of fouls that I racked up. Slapping at people when they’re shooting is probably the most egregious. New ref meant 1) didn’t know how to line up people in women’s basketball 2) called lots of new things the other guys…

  • game night

    Yeah, it was hard waking up, it was hard doing little exercises. Just hard. I don’t know why – did stay up an hour or so past bedtime reading Nick Hornby’s novel which is so weird. Exercises felt good, remarked this morning on how the walk to the bus is much easier and i do…

  • Day Two of new life.. or something…

    I guess it’s take each day as it comes, hmm. Had bizarre dreams last night. Kept waking up, finally got some water and fell back asleep. It was still in the late 70s around 11am last night. Amazing for SF! Had a good workout yesterday, kind of mellow. Managed to get on a lot of…

  • come to jesus?

    Had a reckoning with self, something about such a nice, beautiful mellow weekend, during one day I actually finished Furst’s Night Soldiers. But the end of it is that i have to step up the health. I’ve been slacking big time. One challenge is to do a mini workout every morning. Well, this morning I…
