what more could you want on a Friday night?
Last night was great! We decided to go out to a pizza place a few stops down the MRT. It’s right near where a bunch of people from work live, so we called one of them to join us and he promised to call another. The other guy couldn’t come and the first guy’s wife [...]
Rogue sweater has gone rogue
This sweater is just going to be touch and go all the way though, I see. I currently have about 2 balls of yarn left, with half a sleeve and half the hood to go. I’d feel a lot better about it if I’d managed to find more than one more ball of yarn last [...]
looking ahead
I am definitely looking forward to the Apple announcements and rumored Mac Table on Thursday (Wednesday for most of you) though it’s more out of curiosity – I don’t expect to actually buy one any time soon or anything. The best possible scenario for me would be an unlikely one: a table with an e-ink [...]
bad combination
Yesterday I had another of those weird ocular migraines – only minor headache afterward, but for a while there I couldn’t see due to pre-migraine ‘aura’. (It’s a lot like the afterimage you’d get from looking into a very bright light, and obscures one side of my vision.) I have an annual health checkup on [...]
workout entry
I’ve been really, really bad at recording workouts, so here’s the latest and an attempt to remember ones from last week.
to do
Erged this morning, yay. Funny thing, considering how often I feel like I am goofing off: I just noticed I have erged over a million meters so far this year – not bad since Concept II’s “year” starts May 1. Question: Since I just looked at my watch and there are about four hours until [...]
copeless
This is expanded from a comment I wrote elsewhere, because as usual other people’s writings were needed to prompt me to realize what’s going on with me. Today for at least the third week in a row, Ted and I have been bad and skipped two workout days in a row (one planned day off, [...]
possible projects for Paula in Netherlands
I don’t mean work; I’m sure I’ll have plenty of projects to keep me busy there. But outside work, I need something to distract me from living alone – or rather, something to take advantage of all the extra time I seem to have when I’m on my own. 1. wine (because good wine is [...]
just for the science
Discussion the other day over dinner: (Paula shrugs at something Ted says) Paula: You know what’s really weird? There are some gestures I make that I can just feel are inherited from someone in my family. Like that shrug (tilts head to side and shrugs again). That one’s my uncle’s. I’ve only really noticed it [...]
I’ve looked at life from both sides now….
This is at least the second big moving comparison post I’ve written; this one is more comprehensive but it’s still not definitive. I’m pretty sure there will be more stuff. (The first post is here.) I’ll probably cross-post this to the travel blog, too. These are in no particular order. Things I am looking forward [...]
