woo
It's been this long since I posted? huh. I got a new machine at work and of course, no admin privileges, so I can't download the client I want to use.
And Facebook has broken me of my blogging habit. I love LJ. I hate FB. Everyone's on FB, but I can't stand it. So I don't post here because no one's around, and I don't go to FB because I hate it. Don't care for Twitter much either. So there you go.
Past few months:
-Work moved, that was huge. Still have job, that's good. I'm now in a building with even tighter IT restrictions, so stupid things like Groupon show up as "mp3/streaming", which are blocked. Yahoo chat is blocked. Gmail chat isn't. It's all so random.
-Workout is still going, but it's moving locations next week, so that'll change. Need to start getting back into the 4x a week thing; my snatch is rather weak. (olympic lifting move called the snatch, you 12 year old, you!).
-House- still working on it. But the prices are coming down, financing is low, and we're getting closer. Maybe by July. Tho, for what we have in mind, we may wait a little longer.
-Chowder- still alive and kicking. Getting skinnier, but he seems to be in a fine mood. Has been getting really picky about his food, but stole my sandwich last night, ate all the meat and left the bread and lettuce as incriminating pieces of evidence. All over the hallway. *sigh* Who says furry children are any easier than the regular kind?
-Japanese is a bit of a challenge, but I'm doing really well. Had my first quiz and made only one little tiny mistake. Compared to many others in the class, I'm doing swell. It's weird taking a class where half the class appears to be Japanese and really good at speaking/reading it already. It's 1st quarter, for Pete's sake! Still, it'll be nice to be able to read and speak a little when we go to JP in April. So looking forward to that!
-Ran into a stellar recipe for butternut squash with brown butter & thyme. I could become vegetarian and live off of this, it's so good! (Of course, I suppose it would be better with some chopped up bacon on it. Maybe I'll try that next time).
Running around a lot, lots of projects, being social, all that stuff. Whew.
