11:05 AM: it's not going to stop

we will have less cheese soon: some of it was meant for the lasagne i will make today. i've never made lasagne before & this makes me really happy & a little trepedatious because i'm using those no-boil noodles.
yesterday was our third drawing studio class where we used charcoal for the first time and learned to keep drawing on top of things & carving out what doesn't belong rather than erasing and re-drawing. we ended up with a lot of charcoal to clean up and i still have some under my nails (and in my nose!). then we went to chopsticks on hawthorne (tasty asparagus garlic shrimp dish!) and ran into michael, alison & ben going to fred meyer.
then off we went to michaelmas' dr. who marathon, where michael made me cookies for my unbirthday the day before (thanks, michaelmas!). i brought eliot because i know i can't sit through that many hours of dr. who without some sort of distraction, and sven napped a little because he's been so sick. so michaelmas & philip watched "spearhead from space" and "the tomb of the cybermen" and "pyramids of mars" (which was not too bad).
then alex stopped by and that seemed like a good time to go home (because it was getting late, NOT because of alex, of course!) and wrestle with the computer some more: sven wants to access email from the studio, so we're trying to route his email through dreamhost's imap rather than easystreet's pop. which sounded like a terrific idea until i tried to make it work, which resulted in me losing a week of sven's sent-mail, sending a pathetic message to the ever-so-patient michael hall, and sobbing underneath the dining room table. the good news: sven has the ability to access his inbox, sent mail & drafts on another imap machine, but all his local mail has to remain local. it might have been easier just to let him use webmail over at the studio.
