If only rambling online could cure all of my problems...
It's always the little things. I'm sitting here eating a pita, and a large chunk falls to the floor. Vanished. I search, but can't find it. I just know in a few days I'm going to step on a large chunk of old, fuzzy hummus.
Speaking of, I had hummus for the first time a few days ago. Good stuff. Making it myself didn't yield the expected results though (added way too much garlic and over blended). I was also unaware that chickpeas are garbanzo beans. The person to alert me to this fact also sent me this video, which I thought I'd share. Oh, and Opaa! brand pitas are terrible, so my next project is making a batch of pita bread when I find the time.
Yesterday I saw Hedwig and The Angry Inch over at Crystal's, and later saw a Robin Williams stand-up video at Leeann's (we were going to watch The Incredibles, but the DVD was misplaced). I mention this because they are virtually the only things I did on Saturday.
I know I said I wouldn't drink wine for a while, but I had this huge bottle of cheap syrah and put an amazing dent in it Friday night.
Friday I got bored and shaved my chest, stomach, etc. No real reason, just bored curiosity. Thought it would be itchy, but I only feel it a little when I wear clothes, and I was never too big on doing that anyways. Discovery: the skin on my torso is really pale. Gotta do something stupid now and then just to keep things interesting.
My very religious roommate just returned today and in passing I asked if he had heard of the pope's death. He hadn't, amazingly, but said it was funny that he should find out from me (ooooooh, burn). I love how some Protestants hate Catholics (go hypocrisy! three cheers for irony!). Which reminds me, I didn't need a bunch of you guys on LJ leaving one line entries to alert me of the fact (like it wasn't going to be the next thing plastered over the news for weeks).
For those of you who don't live in Pullman, enjoy some local weather education.

I'm behind on everything. Everything.
Procrastination: you = pwned.
The irony is I've been putting off reading a book on procrastination that is due back at the library in a week.
2 months behind on label software project. 1 week behind on poly sci project. 6 months behind on contacting Stafford. 3 weeks behind on getting out more and/or dating. 1 month without going to wu dao. 1 month behind on applying for degree certification. 4 weeks behind on fixing Bremerton Chamber website. 3 weeks behind on fixing KB. 6 months behind on developing a regular exercise plan that I actually stick to. Many chapters behind in every school textbook. Still not getting up at what I consider to be an acceptable time. Still haven't booked a successful CTF game (or registered as an RSO). Still need to find a place to live next summer (only a month left until I should be moving). Still need a haircut. Still need to sell 21" monitor and PA speakers (they take up so much damn space in my room too). Still haven't started wing chun. Still no set plans for next year outside of continuing my education (i.e. no major business/career/investment/social plans).

Job at the Daily Evergreen isn't half bad. Easy, and I'm productive in an office environment. I should be getting my first paycheck shortly. Lowest paying computer job I've had since high school, so I'm not expecting much. Despite the pay I still enjoy it because it's one of the few areas where I seem to have all the answers at my fingertips. I still wouldn't wish a life of cubical work on anyone, though.
Anyone reading any good books these days? I've been building up a backlog of good books to read which I plan on getting to over the summer, which I have decided to spend in Pullman, for the first time. I try to keep a list on my LJ profile, but I have scattered lists of other good reads everywhere, like everything else in my life. It's looking like I'll either be moving into Nez Perce, or to a house, but either way I'll need to find some roommates. I think I'm going to start biking this summer, too.
I could go on (really, I have at least 20+ pages worth of rambling in me most of the time. none worth reading), but I've developed a hate/hate relationship with this computer. Even without it I could easily waste my time, but it's my biggest crutch right now. Until the next time I feel like wasting time...
