Since my boss is running out of light duty tasks to give me, he's loaning me out to some other departments that need work. And thank goodness - I'm glad that there is something I can do to keep working. I'm going to see a hand specialist who will probably take X-rays and MRI my wrist to get a better idea of what's wrong, so hopefully I'll get ( Read more... )

So back in college, I loved my iMac. It did everything I needed... for a while. Eventually I wanted to play games and enjoy free OS updates, so I built my PC. Ryan helped me pick the components, and Craig showed me how to snap in the CPU, and I had a blast putting it together. My PC and I were very happy together ( Read more... )

We got six inches of snow last night. Not much else to say.

It's that time of year again. No, I don't mean time to start Christmas shopping, or brining the turkey, or pulling out my sweaters. I mean it's time to look for a job ( Read more... )

A cold front has apparently decided to sit on top of Boulder all weekend, filling the sky with clouds andcrapping out "wintry mix." Since it's too nasty to hike or bike, but not snowy enough to snow shoe, Ryan and I decided to buy a new video game to play ( Read more... )

Hmm, nothing much happened today. But I will still try to dig up something interesting. Let's see...

I tear up every time I see a missing pet flyer.
I consciously use big words and proper grammar because I think language is degrading.
On average, I drink two cups of tea a day. Yesterday I drank 5 cups before lunch and I was so buzzedRyan just ( Read more... )

I am really loving karate. Ever since we moved to Boulder, I've wanted to join some activity to meet people. After looking at book clubs, birding clubs, and rec center/community college classes, I decided on martial arts. It's totally new, it's good exercise, and useful in the case of a global crisis. If we are somehow thrown back into a pre- ( Read more... )

Wow, I can't believe I waited this long to finish watching Doctor Who's fourth season. I had a nice four-hour marathon today, and I was blown away. Man. All I can say is, the creators are practically throwing out a red carpet for fan fiction authors. Um, not that I read fan fiction...

This morning, at 5:30, I hopped out of bed, ran downstairs and threw open the door. There on our front porch was a glass bottle of fresh, delicious milk from our local dairy farm. That's right - we have a milkman! Every Monday we'll be getting milk and other dairy products delivered from Longmont Dairy Farm. They gave us a cooler to put on the ( Read more... )

I just finished re-reading The Lord of the Rings. I know, I know, I am a big nerd. I felt especially nerdish pulling out LotR during breaks at work; it seems to emphasize the contrast between myself and my coworkers. I don't mind, though - I am still happy being a nerd. Ryan and I watched the first two movies tonight, and I was gleefully pointing ( Read more... )
