i'm about to go to bed. yes, it's fairly early, but it's raining, i have a headache and any fires i set over the course of the day have been safely extinguished. i make that sound like there were many problems a'brewin', but there weren't. basically, an all-round boring day with gray skies and drizzle. i played basketball at the rec for 2 hours, which thoroughly wore me out. i'm glad i've been able to go to the rec on a regular basis this semester so far. i think it's making a difference. i'm glad i've got the ipod to keep me company, though. i must admit, running on the track was much easier the other day with isis' mosquito control e.p. buzzing in my ear.
i ate a bunch of wings tonight. 22 to be exact. i probably could have done more, but i'm glad i didn't. i wish i hadn't had as many as i did. one time lyndsey went to a band party with me and ate about 30 wings over the course of a few hours while there. i was amazed, impressed, astounded.
i just talked to lyndsey about that exact thing on the phone. today is her 23rd birthday. i wish her nothing but the best for the upcoming year of life. she's one of the best, if not the best friend i've ever had. she knows this.
it's fun to get a Christmas present on february 1st, especially when that present is the
phaidon atlas of contemporary architecture. absolutely amazing. fortunately, it didn't set anyone back quite as much as it retails for. it is immensely appreciated, not only for its own standing, but the thought behind the gift. thank you.
i'm getting a haircut on friday afternoon. those of you who have seen me recently can breathe a sigh of relief. yes, it's needed. i guess i'll be in birmingham for most of the weekend. if that prompts you to think about calling me, feel free to act on your impulses.
life outside of the MIS concentration is grand. i'd probably still be at school right now if i were still doing that crap. my first test in database was scheduled for tomorrow, but i think it got pushed back. it makes no difference to me at this point. i actually had time to do economics homework this evening before dinner. it's not due until thursday, but that's just a microcosm of how my time is suddenly more plentiful. i want to make the most of it.
up until a few days ago, i never knew eunuch was spelled that way. hmmph. maybe i shouldn't have known that anyway. tantrum of the muse had a song entitled "eunuch", but it just never registered. oh well.
