changing!

Before i get to more relevant things, lets all just reserve a moment for the splendor that is bite-sized frosted shredded wheats. they are saving my poor-ass from nutritional deficiencies of many sorts, though most notably of the fiber variety.

heidi is leaving me! for alaska! i might leave me for alaska, too, though - so i forgive her. it was weird - she was packing all weekend and it didn't really kick in that i'm not going to see her for a really long time. so she's going adventuring, and i'm staying in my cubicle to continue to manage inventory operations....

replacing heidi for a couple of months will be Polina, who is a Russian 19-year-old living in the US for a couple of months. She seems nice, and a bit young, but i think we'll get along okay. And truth be told, the possibility that she is less tidy than heidi is very very small.

i made the best buttercream frosting i've ever made last week. it was fabulous. it had orange in it, but not too much - and it was just the perfect consistency.

i don't really have much to say. so i'll go now.

awayRun

i like it, although i think it could use a better name.
let me know if you come up with one.

there is a guy at work, and today was the first time i went in his office. he always seems a bit unkempt - in that way that i want to tell him to go wash his hair. his office smelled kind of like i assume his hair would. but, it is obvious from the decor that he has small children, and so i feel a modicum of understanding towards his situation. then i noticed his arms. he has to be in his 30s at least, but he has arms that can only be described as "nubile." it was very odd.

FINGER POLL

that maybe sounded bad.

but take my poll anyway. its really not bad at all. and because i'm very curious about this.
i'm pretty sure i'm weird, but i don't know. i also need to find a way to add qualifiers like gender and left/right handedness...


and dad, i'm really curious about your answer, i think i know what you would pick, but maybe you'll completely surpise me.

and you'll have to explain to lisa what a trackpad is, i suppose. hopefully it wont be too painful. ;)

Il Faut Travailler

my first ever film on film.
i'm pretty happy with it. :)

People who teach

people who teach computer classes have infinite patience.
i am mightily impressed.

especially considering how i get when my mother asks me to show her how to do something on the computer.

i finally uploaded new pictures to flickr.

of the apartment, bowling, and ducks that live outside of APL.
for those that wanted to know.
