Ending my time on a project, whether the project finishes or I move to a new project, leaves me down.

Putting in extra hours on Important Task drains me.

Both of which just happened.

But they’re not my musings. I ran across on okcupid I think. Anyway, he has a few interesting posts recently on biphobia, which refers to this post and extensive commentary (click on the comments link at bottom to see more), the meme about the dad that is psycho defensive of his daughter’s “virtue”, and one on a specific aspect of biphobia: the bi man as a transmitter of STIs.

An interesting read if you’re looking to blow an evening. =)

cut to protect those of delicate sensibilities…

• Moving out mostly complete: has again gone above and beyond the call of duty by managing my excess furniture disposal process while I’ve been out of town.
• I was in Denver, but had no spare time.
• I don’t know how much was allergies, how much was altitude and how much was early onset sinus plague, but I am not well.
• Still need to clean fridge in old apartment.
• Landlord has been alternating between understanding and dickish about my move out process, and my remaining furniture in the apartment. PS, that bathtub was disgusting when we moved in, not gleaming white.
• Have finished the first two season 3 BSG dvds. Need to put them in mail so netflix can send me more. By which time I will doubtless be well, and it will be irrelevant.
• Still need to cancel utils at old place.
• Am otherwise well.
• Gah!

This weekend I had one of my trademark uneventful weekends:

• slept for like 12 hours when I should have been packing
• moved my big stuff quickly on saturday
• had tasty brunch at Victory’s Banner. It’s the far-east guru variety of vegetarian restauarant, and, true to theme, is quite tasty. This with my lovely moving assistants: bhudson**, radicalnerdgirl*, and moved+. Sadly the new roommate, Barry, couldn’t join us at VB.
• planned the next stage of the constitution drafting process with my favorite co-volunteer.
• tried to pack more on Saturday, and rolled a very low success.
• Went to party with my roommate-for-a-day (he was moving out as I was moving in). Cool guy, IP lawyer, cyclist, friendly, moving to logan’s square. (ugh, though really, I guess that’s not too far now).
• Ran my 10 miler, averaging about a 9:15 pace. Better than I expected to do.
• Redistributed Papa-san and recyclables to radicalnerdgirl
• Finished packing and cleaning my place. People familiar with the old place would not recognize it now. Iz Kleen!

And the things I did not get done still they are remembered. Mostly on sunday. Failure to make it to church for the monthly GLBT brunch and, more significantly, failure to make it to moved‘s for the board games.

ETA: I think it’s safe to say I have solved my “not enough stuff for all that space problem”. It’s even safer to say I now have the reverse problem. Alas. =)

** = I think he deserves special recognition for moving from “I really just met you” to “I’m lugging heavy objects for you” in about a week. Thanks, Benoit!
* = Her warrior princess kiai as she attacked the mess in my kitchen with her cleaner-squirting robo-swiffer was both daunting and inspiring.
+ = Mad propz for mad tetris skills.

I ran 10 miles and did not die!

At the five mile mark, the clock said 48:40, at the finish it said 1:32:*mumble*. and her dad kept me from going nuts and losing all my oomph for the first 7 miles. Then I used up my oomph for a dramatic finish.

Also, I have salt trails on my face where the sweat dried. Neat.

I think this a post exercise headache. I don’t think it’s dehydration based, though I suppose it could be low blood sugar based…

I chugged oj right after had two toaster waffles with real maple syrup and several “stone ground wheat” crackers. Plus some protein powder. This headache had a late in the day onset. Google convinced me I have brain cancer (Not really), or that this may be a migraine (it does exacerbate my photosyensitivity and my aversion to noise. It’s also only on one side of my head. But it is not so debilitating as I thought migraines were. Sinuses?)

So am I being anorexic and thereby giving myself headaches? Just overdoing it with the running? Facing imminent death? Do I have a migraine problem? Sinus troubles? Or maybe it’s just stress…

• happy hour with coworkers.
• Discovered my rushwork was called off and planned my training travel to Denver next week.
• I packed one box of books.
• I had dinner and quality time with Jeff (the proto-boyfriend?) before he heads off to Palm Springs.
• I started learning Python and I’m also babystepping into the Tk module.
• I started programming Through the Ages: complete so far, class structures for all the cards. (I may want to subclass production v urban v military, but so far, not). Developed a shuffling algorithm (which is actually trivial) then learned it was in the random module anyway.
• I ran ~ 7 miles, walking some, maybe 1 hour 20 minutes ish? First run in over a week. Great training I’m doing there. Hope I pace myself better on Sunday.

Yesterday I surprised a few people with my assumptions about porn. But, before I go there, let me be clear, I consider internet porn and “amateur” porn to both be porn. I do not count the use of one on one cam chat as porn, because it is neither broadcast nor recorded. Broadcast cam shows and pictures sent from one person to one other are a grey zone.

Now moving on saturday morning->early afternoon. Yay?

ETA: helpers still very much appreciated. You will be fed nice things.
