Iz still ded.
I managed to shut off three alarms without waking up this morning - pretty clever considering that they all require me to get out of bed - but still woke up around 7:15 and got into work around 9:20, thanks mostly to the subway and bus both being there when I arrived on the platforms. I had another fairly good day, solving another bug (this one was tricky - it took me a day and a half) and making some good progress on another.
I really must remember to put a coffee mug into my backpack on Monday. What's the use in there being a kitchen and a coffee maker if I don't have anything to drink the coffee from? I've been carrying so much stuff with me, however (1200-page ASP/C# textbook, newspaper, novel, notebook, and on Thursday, my VB textbook and today, my change of clothes for bowling) that I've been afraid that I would break a mug if I tried taking one with me. Now, naturally, I remember that I have an unbreakable Starbucks travel mug...
Bowling tonight was pretty good: 155, 170, 182. h8torun had an excellent finish to the evening, getting her first-ever turkey. I'm not sure who was more excited - h8torun this evening, or Randy earlier this year when he got his first-ever 200 game. It's neck-and-neck, though at least h8torun didn't get so excited she twisted her ankle jumping up and down the way Randy did. :)
There were two mishaps, but fortunately neither one of them was too serious. Mario stuck to the lane just as he was throwing a ball and twisted his ankle. He was in some pain (I'm not sure which hurt more - twisting his ankle, or throwing a gutter ball), but it seemed to go away, and he managed to bowl a 244 in the second game (which we won by 170 - coincidentally, my score). Then Bridgette went outside for a smoke during the break, and despite being told by Spencer's husband1 that it was snowing out, she didn't believe him, and she went outside without changing her shoes. (I guess she hadn't noticed that he'd gone upstairs and outside for a smoke after their first game rather than waiting for the break? So he should have known what the weather conditions were like?) Naturally, she got her shoes wet, and all the baby powder in the world won't help when you do that. She stuck on the lane as well and ended up about six feet past the foul line.
Anyhow, we ended up taking three points, as we also won the third game.
I wouldn't have minded going out tonight if it weren't for a) the snow, b) being exhausted, and c) I'm going out tomorrow night. Oh, and d) I have some friendslist and TrekBBS reading to do. I really should start on my VB assignment at some point as well. Maybe Sunday evening, since Desperate Housewives is a repeat and there doesn't seem to be a new Studio 60 either.
1 - yes, I know he has a name.2 It's just that I know I've mentioned Spencer before, and well, he's hot. His husband? Not so much. Call me shallow.
2 - which I can't recall at the moment. Whaddayawant from my life? Hak nik mein cheinik.3 I think it's Bill, but I wouldn't bet my life on it right now. (Edit to add: I remembered it this evening. His name is actually Rob. See? I'm shallow. ;) )
3 - which is Yiddish for "don't bang on my teakettle". Or as close to it as I can remember in my current sleep-deprived state.
