One lonely shoe.

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

This morning I passed a hiking shoe, all alone, on the side of the road. How do shoes end up on the side of the road? How does only one shoe of a pair make it free?

And what about shoes around electrical lines? Who sacrifices those?

My beef with David’s Bridal.

*This is a long rant where I reveal the dress that I hope that other girl in the wedding likes and my deep detesting festering hatred for David’s Bridal.

Pro productive.

This weekend I did the following things:
1. Found a bridesmaid dress that did not make me look pregnant or ugly.
2. Had drinks with Porter and my sister, served by the most contrary and contrite man on earth.
2.5 Went to yoga class. Turns out that I love yoga. And I am going to go every week, even if it means eating Raman noodles to save up the money for it.
3. Planted zucchini in my garden. Began thinking that I should plant something else cool.
4. Made a knitting case for my knitting needles. It is the coolest thing I have EVER made with the sewing machine. I am going to make a few more and see if I can sell them.
5. Washed someone else’s kitchen floor. It was Winemonkey’s. He was sick and it was filthy. How can boys live in such dirt?
6. Made my famous chicken soup. Alright, it isn’t famous, but it is delicious and perfect for one sick Winemonkey.
7. Watched Lawrence of Arabia. I really liked it. Even if it was 3.75 hours long. Not bad for the 60’s.
8. Knitted and frogged a bag for my mom. This week in knitting class I am going to have to learn how to take out stitches without having to start from the beginning.
9. Got a crappy night’s sleep while dreaming of dead bodies. Thanks Stiff!

As soon as I find my camera’s battery charger I will take pictures of my knitting needle case and post them. It is really cool.

The DD.

Doom’s Day. Drunk Dress-trying on. Damn David’s! (Bridal that is…)

Yes. I am psyching myself up for this fiasco.

Yesterday during seminarI heard the most funny question asked.

Professor who does computer modeling: Is this computationally intensive?
Computer-brained graduate student: Fairly computationally intensive. Blah Blah Blah a bunch of numbers and RAM and crap that equals 72 hours of run time…
Professor who does computer modeling: I would run that thing into the ground.

This is my life…. EVERY FREAKING DAY PEOPLE!
