yo yo. i had an awesome weekend (although i'm still having problems getting over feeling guilty for "not getting anything done"--i don't have anything to get done anymore!). anyway, thursday night was really cool--after work jorn and i went to the Old Town for drinks with the poets. the first years planned the event for we second years, to ( Read more... )

wow, it's been like 18 years since i posted. okay. ( here's what happened last weekend. )

so yesterday's yoga class was awesome. i feel like i'm finally making progress (at least a little bit) with my body. yesterday i was able to (almost) get my leg completely behind head. i actually hovered in the crow position for about half a second (but my feet were off the floor for that half a second!). when doing the sun salutation, i can ( Read more... )

dood. jorn's online, so i can't call him. he's not logged on to AIM, and he's turned the sound off so he can't hear me IMing his AOL account. i need zelda help, and he's got the book! JORN!!! WOULD YOU CHECK YOUR IM, YOU BIG DWEEB??!?!

oh, and i got the harry potter game to install after all. it turns out that one of the things the help center guy told me to do worked (and i didn't need to do anything else to the antivirus program after shutting off the auto protect). it's a cute game. i'm going to play it now.

new years was good. went to the party at missi's house, and it was quite fun. a board game or two and some alcohol will loosen up anyone's slightly odd group of friends. laur and i stayed at missi's till around 3, then drove the three blocks or whatever back to my mom's house and slept here (ie, two double beds in my room vs the floor at missi's ( Read more... )

okay, i *HATE* windows XP. it is absolutely horrid to navigate if you want to actually make changes to your computer. i'm guessing it's trying to be "user-friendly", but it's not, it's awful. i'm not exactly a computery person, but i'm a lot more computer-literate than, say, my mom. and i cannot figure out how to get past the user-friendliness ( Read more... )
