I sparred for the first time today in months, and man it felt good. I had been so angry all day, upset and depressed for a couple of months now, and man I was so happy to (gently) wail on someone. But I don't know when I'll be able to do it again. Maybe if I schedule time with Claire. Fighting is the one thing that I still look forward to, and soon ( Read more... )

Today I have the following things that "should" be done, or would be rotten to miss, most of them starting between 6 and 6:30 (also considering that I don't get off work until after 5 ( Read more... )

I had the toughest, sweatiest, most intense muay thai workout in a looong time. It was awesome. I wanna do it again ( Read more... )

I have discovered, and am in love with, Wordle. I've already made three. If I was 15 I'd have already made, like, twenty.
The idea is you enter in a bunch of text, and it'll create a pretty word cloud out of all your words. You can change the font, color, and so on.

I am also proud of myself because:
1. I dunked myself in Lake Whatcom on Sunday ( Read more... )

As in seeing the old year with 20-20 hindsight.

On this, the official last day of 2007, it is hard for me not to look back at what has occurred (mostly because there’s nothing happening at work and I’m bored). It’s been quite a whirlwind year:

I got married.
I got accepted to grad school.
I turned 25.
I learned a teeny bit of Italian.
I went on a family ( Read more... )

At about 1:45pm this afternoon it dawned on me that I kick ass. I have repeatedly been told how much my cookies rock, how I am the superstar of SPIE.TV webcasts, and have been told my several "tough dudes" that I am a bad ass in muay thai. Yup, I pretty much all around kick ass.

I am done with my quarter. I turned in my final test in yesterday morning. I even gave my notes to some sucker who's taking it next quarter. I already have assignments for next quarter. Hooray!

The house is getting moved this Saturday, weather permitting.

Everyone and their mother-in-law (including mine) is having some sort of shindig this weekend.

I ( Read more... )

I'm pissed off at both my parents because they are really either unsupportive or unhelpful. I know, this shouldn't surprise me, but it does. I feel selfish saying this, but my entire family is so caught up in their own shit they can't even take the time to return my fairly pathetic messages asking for help, and when I got a hold of my dad tonight, ( Read more... )

I came home from muay thai today and cried. Cried for myself over the situation I've put myself into and now don't see the point of. Then I got a phone call from my sister with some awful news, and it simply felt like she had called to discuss curtains. Okay, very emotionally distraught curtains, but still ( Read more... )

Although too much exercise makes me sore and tired, which maybe is the whole point. ;)

The new roomie moved in. He’s cool, though not home very much. Likes pancakes and South Park.

Our room is slowly becoming uncluttered, although I still haven’t found my wallet (although I haven’t scoured my car to its full potential yet), and we can’t find the ( Read more... )
