rethreading

last night i pulled my '99 special pants out of the (clean) laundry basket and the lace snagged, dragging it halfway around the back and after wasting a fair amount of time and energy - destroying a needle trying to be clever - i gave up, took it out completely, tied a knot in it and began rethreading. it was a big job, but a good excuse to spend three hours this afternoon watching life of pi and after porn ends.

the former is a good movie, not a great one. if it was cut down by about an hour it would feel about right. the latter? meh, whatever. my fingers: sore. my pants: sorted! i'm pleased even if i'm shocked at just how much effort that took. lesson learned: tie knots in both ends just in case.

last night i got into bed and only then realized that i'd forgotten to shower and brush my teeth. the former provided me a good excuse to shave in the morning in spite of my early morning sparkiness, the latter gave me an opportunity to down another protein shake before bed. i felt like my body needed that.

...

in general i had better timing this morning. but it was too hot!! the temperature shot up overnight and it was warm and rainy. i was sleepy and in need of good stretching the whole class - though some of it was fun - and at one point i was so tired that my brain refused to allow new words in :(

after class i met vfmp at starbucks, where i tried and failed to order my coffee in french. which is sad, because a soy latte in french is a soy latte. after chatting and finishing it we did some costume shopping, which was more fun when not alone, stopped for a lecture about incense by a cute indian girl and then had lunch at propulsion. it was a bit expensive but absolutely delicious!

i was totally weirded out before we left because the radio was playing an orchestral version of the angry birds theme. really?

i didn't have the energy to shop for builder bars so i came home to nap, which didn't really happen. the rain turned into crazy winds halfway through the day and large sections of the island have lost power, so everyone's on their way here for an evening of thunderstone.

a decent excuse to tidy up a bit :P

i just read an article on office jargon and it amuses me that this is precisely how megaman talks.
