The above is one of the cleaner ones. Perhaps as days go by I'll work you up to the truly bizarre.
I just wanted to note 2 things today:
A) I did my first day of sprint exercising yesterday, and it hurts like the proverbial mofo. Both during and after... my legs were quite sore today. Which means I think it is working.
2) I just wanted to share a bit of nerdery all around and didn't know where better to share it. Today, I installed a web server on my laptop and am now running a wiki site (a la Wikipedia) that only I can access, because I think it will help me organize my thoughts better than I can on paper.
Oh, and, one more thing, actually:
Paris Hilton, American Idol, Pamela Anderson. Our Googleability soars!

whoa. WHOA! you people and your alphabet-typing. Insane!
Glad to hear the sprint exercising is going well. I was enjoying my jogs by the lake... but it's about 800% humidity today, so I think I'll go for an indoor activity later on. Also, I would suggest something innovative for your music mix, but my mind is consumed with thoughts of journals and writing and the like. Rrgh. I'm not sure I understand why one would need a personal Wiki, but perhaps I was never meant to know.
The personal Wiki helps to organize things like references (for the paper I am currently writing) since they all refer to one another in a really non-linear fashion. I was going nuts trying to do it across multiple pages in a notebook.
Note new icon.
yeah, I don't so much see the new icon--I get the "blue question mark," which I suppose equates to a "red x" in Internet Explorer. Reply hazy, try again?
I don't think your icon's coming across for me either, unless it's *supposed* to just say "readinfinitum," which I always hear in my mind as "read infinitum," not "re ad infinitum," btw.
-- erica, freshly shaken from her first stick-shift driving lesson. kat, how did you do it?
woo! learning stick! :D what's the occasion?
Seriously, though, I lived in TOTAL FEAR the first month I drove the katmobile. There's a big hill in the middle of Centerville that I would pray I'd never have to stop on, for fear of rolling back into the car behind me when I started up again. Eventually, though, you just... get it. Like riding a bike, I suppose. Every car's clutch is a little different (as I discovered when driving Marj's car), but the general principle remains the same: clutch, gently release and press down on the gas at the same time, and let 'er rip.
yeah, my problem seems to be the ripping -- I stalled SO MANY TIMES in the parking lot in the beginning, and then once I got reliably good at starting in 1st gear in the lot we moved to an actual street, where I stalled EVEN MORE TIMES. forget hills -- I can't even get the danged car to go in the first place. and I really do have to learn -- I'm doing this because my friend from school has a new beetle (silver and so cute!) but she'll be working in tokyo for the summer, so *someone* needs to make sure the car gets some exercise (and, uh, makes occasional trips to the grocery store) while she's gone...
I think the worst part about stalling is the way the car shakes, like it's going to fall apart. I've had people FREAK OUT and I'm all, "No, it's ok, it happens." How LUCKY for you, though--what a cute li'l car! I worry that the katmobile gets no love, sitting all dusty in its garage at home... *sigh* I miss my car. I miss driving in general. But I'm not missing paying $3/gallon for gas, that's for damn sure.
