argh. though i've signed a contract at psu, still no word about when i'll be starting (and if it hasn't happened now, it won't happen till monday, at least, and maybe not till tuesday). oh, next week will be bushels of fun. i'm the kind of person who prefers to have a little time to ease into a project before i kick its ass.

at the end of a late october night, sven & i "liberated" five bags of leaves from the intersection of couch & 8th. two days ago we dumped them all on the living room floor & rolled in them. whoo hoo! (of course, now we must clean them up. much less fun.)

last night sven, michael & i had a lovely dinner and then sven & i suddenly had a very cinematic moment where i asked something like, "when -are- we meeting w/ the film group again? next thursday...?" and our eyes went wide and we gasped in horror at the same time. "damn it! tonight!" we scrambled out the door & to old town pizza, but everyone was gone. :(

michael stayed up late last night to see the primetime "lord of the rings" special, which could have been half as long without the commercials & the weird announcer dude. i burned my hand (twice! bah!) trying to make dessert. mostly okay now, though a bit that's still numb. michael's kitchen doesn't like my left hand for some reason.

i'm having an interesting reaction to the piecemeal possible legalization of gay marriages. i can't say i don't support them, but what i think i really want is for the government to stop placing limits on marriage at all. the interesting bit is i think a position like that sort of makes polygamy okay. i wouldn't have guessed i would have believed that 10 years ago.

google has a new way to look for definitions: use "define: [my term]". what you did before was to type the term, wait for the result, and then click on the hyperlinked word to go to dictionary.com for their results.

packetwarp dan is making changes on how i access packetwarp. merr. :( but he's also doing some upgrading and interesting changes.

still sadly behind on emails. philip: am planning on paying you for the shanghai tunnels tour (ee!) when michael sees you next week (and am sending sven's payment, as well). dan: got your message about possible dates, but haven't looked at my calendar to know which will work. alex: i can't deconstruct your cryptic friendster message. jalex: got your reply & i'm glad i said something; i'm awkward in social groups, too. mph: you rock; thanks for your telling everyone about the downtime at puddingbowl, among other things. doug: got your message; still have yet to read your first pprc entry though i want to, i want to! adra: whoah! hey, there! haven't read your message yet. carl: no, there were no explosions, alas.
