january 4th update
the top story today was that i forgot all about subway's tuesday footlong deals and ended up cooking a lasagna, then letting the lasagna cool for 2 hours to an icy cold so i could reheat it in the microwave
mmm, yummy
also today, after over 40 hours of playing dragon quest viii, I finally realized that you could re-equip your weapons/armor mid-battle. i'm not sure the entire impact this would have had, but i definitely would have played the game a bit differently before had i known this. like, i probably would have actually looked for swords to use instead of only using my boomerangs. oops.
coming up on monday is the phd qualifying exam in algebra. i've taken it once before and failed it after studying all summer for it. so i'm not very optimistic this time. and keep wondering if i'm wasting time trying. which is probably one of those self-fulfilling prophecy things. oops.
also, lately my back has been hurting in between my shoulder blades (mostly on the left side) instead of before when it was my lower back that hurt (which quit hurting when the shoulder blade thing took over).
like before, the pain seems to set in while laying down and wakes me up from sleeping about halfway through the night. the pain is sharp though, and doesn't seem to go away as easily as the lower back pain did. i will be complaining to my doctor in the morning (its free at watkins after all, why not).
finally, the most important thing, i can't find my hat. so if you've seen a grey/black trucker hat featuring the deftones, let me know asap as I would like to wear it on occasion (which is most of the time).
edit: also, i recommend this site: http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html
