well
i can't check home email from work anymore. cuz someone somewhere got a virus so they blocked access to all web-based email providers. i also can't figure out how to get my comments working again.

hell's yea!
won poker last night. maybe the bee pollen gave me extra stamina, cuz we played from 6-11. whew. we'r esupposed to be having a huge update at work today to launch a new initiative.. but it hasn't happened yet (updates usually happen by 9). so i'm sitting on my hands for a little bit.

bee pollen update
it's not powdery, but i think a mortar and pestle can be taken to it. it tastes kinda sweet, like almost honey, but not quite. we'll see if it works. i was panicking at breakfast. mom will probably read this and worry more. it wasn't because of breakfast though, so don't worry. :) i've discovered that they get worse right before that time of the month. good to note. some of what i've read have blamed gastritis and anemia. and of course, all the sites say to quit smoking. so i'm gunna try. i hope the previously mentioned book will help. the reviews i've read are pretty astounding.
so
recommended by a friend who's also having panic attacks, i'm going to go to the co-op today to get bee pollen. i guess it's powdery and doesn't dissolve. maybe they have it in pill form. i also bought allen carr's easy way to stop smoking. it should be here in a couple weeks, it's coming all the way from west sussex. *crossing fingers*

milestone
my car turned over 40,000 miles on my way to work this a.m.
September 23, 2004
hooray!
i guess i'm one of the cool kids now. my nalgene showed up today:
yay for elann!
i finally ordered yarn from elann for clapotis. if their track record is as good as it has been, i'll have it in about a week. i still need to make booty #2 for a friend's bebe.
according to
presidentmatch.com, i agree 63% with kerry.

oops!
i forgot to comment on this year's 27th(?) annual willy st. fair. it wasn't nearly as exciting as the last 3 years'. after having my very first falafel ever a year ago. i excitedly biked down there with kurt to brave the 4 blocks of people and sweat and hotness; only to find that the unnamed falafel cart from years past was not in attendance. my heart sank.

i'm sorry
this is a formal and public apology to all members of the knitting bloggers webring. i just have not been at all interested in sitting still long enough to knit. i hope this doesn't last for very much longer.. cuz i do have lots of yarn to use up, and patterns to knit from. maybe when it gets colder?
September 19, 2004
yay!
kurt and i had a fantastical dinner at the magnus last night to celebrate our second annual wedding anniversary and forth annual meeting-up anniversary. it was good times. today is the willy st fair, and we have a wedding reception to go to at olin park, and then poker. it's gunna be a full day!

i vow
to randomly blab about content that everyone else (probably) already knows about. johnny ramone died.
perhaps
i'm coming in late on the bandwagon, but i've just subscribed to bloglines and i think it's a fantastic thing. i have three subscribers to this here blog (one of whom is me), but some of the other places to which i'm subscribed have over 3,000. i guess i better start coming up with better content quickly. i ordered some Griffin EarJams a week ago, before they were "shipping by end of september". so i have to wait to report on their quality.
quitting
i decided this morning when i woke up at 4 that i was going to make a valiant attempt at quitting smoking. i tried, in january, to bring the amount of cigarettes per day down to 10. that lasted for a short month. this time i didn't bring my cigarettes to work with me. i'm confident that it'll work for a little while; lately i've just been smoking because i smoke. i haven't really wanted to. plus, it's interfering with my bikeride.
September 15, 2004
aww
j&t got back from toronto yesterday, and the brought us this:
the "3d gloves" squeak. it's quite funny.
September 14, 2004
dammit
someone stole my bike light. right out in the open.

banning
i've had to institute IP banning on my blog. . i don't know if the spammers are faking their IP addresses, so if you get an error while commenting, please email me.
September 11, 2004
hmm
i really want to knit this but i have no idea what pfb, and kfb. have i been out of the game too long?
September 10, 2004
ugh
i had to re-do my blog one more time. i've sent an email to my webhost asking them what is up with everything. they're usually pretty good about helping me, so maybe they know something i don't.

panicky
another one today at lunch. actually it started around 10, but i ignored it.. and then once the food came, i couldn't hold my fork straight. i forgot to mention another one .. woulda been august 22nd while playing poker. i'm fine now, though.
September 7, 2004
card fun!
i played rummy with my pals judy and morgan last night. it was good fun! then i met some blokes from across the pond and shot good pool.
September 6, 2004
well!
camping wasn't terrible. though, it was powerful hot and there was no shade for most of the day so we came back yesterday. plus, it was supposed to rain last night. perhaps we'll camp again soon.

poolshark.
i proceeded to complete my first 7 ball run last night. the 8 was too much for me, i guess. needless to say, we held the table for a while.

entry #700
i have two spiders living in my side-view mirror. i watched them cheat death all the way to work this a.m. i'm extending my long weekend by taking next tuesday off. 5 whole days without work. subsequently, i'm working twice as hard today to get stuff done. ugh.
