oh!

so kurt and i got new phones on thursday. they don't make orange faceplates for it, so i knitted a new cozy.

fork you

this was our sink a couple days ago. i thought it looked funny because it would appear that we only ever use forks. (img tag missing)

nuthin

happening today. kurt and i got up and went to la hacienda. we're big into the roasted poblano quesadillas and the horchata makes my tummy feel better. i keep meaning to find a recipe to make it at home, but i'm willing to bet it's a lot of work..
maybe not: Horchata.

lol

i woke up at 9 and gave a "thumbs up" to my clock. i should also note that i haven't done more than 3 rows of knitting in the last 3 weeks. :/ i just can't seem to think of anything that i want knitted.

May 26, 2004

omg

i can't wait to sleep in for the next five days in a row.

random stuff

well, movabletype has gone and gotten all expensive. i don't think i'm willing to shell out $100. i wish i was a programming geek; then i could author my own blog back-end. i got a little more work done this weekend. i think i worked a total of 7 hours, which means i can afford the time to take off next thursday, giving me a 5 day weekend! after today, there are only 2 more yoga classes. i'm both saddened and excited about this. i find myself looking forward to yoga until about noon on sunday. :smile: the previously mentioned bbs is having a reunion thingy in a month. i think i'm gunna go and check it out. i hope there are no nametags involved. oh, and i just found this funny song by Eric Idle. headphones on. nsfw.

May 22, 2004

so

i thought if i'd work from home this weekend, i'd get more done. but, i couldn't get remote access because mattel doesn't support WinXP so i had to do this weird archaic thing and burn my files to cd, bring them home, and burn them before i go back to work. lame. anyhow, kurt just left for work, so i'm going to try not to get distracted by the internet and get some stuff done. oh, we just got back from bestbuy and i bought a new phone cuz kurt hates our current sony phone.

May 21, 2004

omg

my old bbs has a website now. by "my", i mean, the one that i used to call all the time and spend my nights staring at a mac classic in the dark. excerpts from my "bio"*: /i think most people should leave me alone if they dont like me or what i do, and why do i smell oranges? i want an orange./ /i wish i could walk around with my own little space, and shut my sun off when i didnt want it on but id still be able to see and talk to people next to me, but their sun wouldnt get in my way./
this is especially funny: /pat mccurdy is god/ *my last call made to this bbs was some time in '95, hence all the angst. and just for fun, lets see what i wrote a year ago.

yesterday

i got more done between 6 and 8 am than between 8 and 5. today i had to be rude to one of my good coworkers cuz i couldn't be bothered. i'm on a tightschedule; so tight, that got no space.

May 19, 2004

i showed up

at 6a. one car in the parking lot; the housekeeper. i got rockstar parking.

May 17, 2004

omg

i wasn't able to get anything done today because of the myriad of things that kept popping up. :/

May 16, 2004

sunday, sunday

just got back from a bike ride. there are a handful of bike races in the 'hood today so parking is hit or miss. now, i think, we're going to old navy to see what their selection of clothing is like. then i have yoga and texas hold 'em. oh! the buttons i got off ebay were a big success last week.

May 15, 2004

i started

a slipper from knitting pretty but i frogged it last night. i'm just not motivated to knit anything! :confused: what i need to do is try knitting with beads because i have a *bunch* of those hanging around. and, the interweb seems really slow this morning.

May 14, 2004

uh oh

i'm spending a lot of time on the iTunes Music Store. i can't think of the song i was singing earlier today, though.

hooray!

May 12, 2004

random observations

i've had the same phone number since 1996. there's this guy, who appears to be homeless, who is always leaning against the warm air vent on the gef1 building. i always want to stop and give him a dollar or something.. in the winter, i almost tossed a scarf i had out of the window, but that would have probably come off as rude. :confused:

May 9, 2004

sunday, sunday

yoga was great. except the last part where we're supposed to relax.. i remembered that my cellphone ringer wasn't turned off so i spent the whole time hoping that no one would call me. i just got home from 4.5 hours of texas hold 'em wherein i went out in 3rd place. kurt told me i shoulda folded. i told him i was tired of playing. by the way, i'm in way less pain right now than i was the night of yoga class #1.

May 8, 2004

testing new feature

i just installed a movabletype plugin that will allow me to call a smiley image just by typing :smile: . let's hope it works :confused: i guess it sorta does :grin: now i have to fix my stylesheets.

done!

i finally finished the shawl for work.

i also tried looking for a suitable replacement yarn for the interweave knits leaf shawl, because euroflax linen at $14.95 a cone makes it almost a $100 shawl (with shipping). that's ridiculous.

May 5, 2004

knitstuff, finally

the fridayfive lady has hung up her hat. i can understand.. it would be kind of annoying to have to come up with five questions every week for 2.5 years. i'd like to say that i'd give it a try, but i don't think i could. besides, she's not selling the domain or anything, so it's not like it matters. i am happy it's friday, nonetheless!

humpday

the last two days at work have been absolutely nutty. everyone is running around like a headless chicken with nothing accomplished at the end of the day. i hope today turns out better.

May 2, 2004

yup!

i /have/ been knitting a little. i've been trying to reduce my stash. here's a shawl i'm making for work cuz it gets chilly in the summer with all the air conditioning.

and it's friggin' snowing on may 2nd.
