Today

No Ro in town. Did get 2.5 hours of work in, which is better than I’ve done for some week’s that Ro’s been gone. Got serious laundry done, and actually folded this time. Removed much hair from head and body. Gradually inching forward on making my freebsd box happy. I have a dragon warrior 3 rom, and lack only sound before I’ll be turning goof-offs into sages.

Talked much with Shannon (she’s our new roomie. An interesting contrast in personalities to the rest of the house, she also tidied up my self-trim job). Made facon, avocado, spinach, mushroom sandwiches for dinner. Very tasty.

Haven’t purchased tickets to washington for ‘s birthday. Haven’t found any universities out there that really catch my attention (neither American U nor Georgetown show any great concern about urban planning (ie, no department, I should investigate in more detail rather than fucking with the bsd box), but there are still people worth seeing, and it would definitely not hurt me to get off my ass & get out of town. In terms of grad schools, Portland State is somewhat interesting in that it houses urban planning and public policy in the same school, but that’s another story.

Not really nervous about my class starting tomorrow. Not sure if that’s a good or bad sign. Apathy + grad class = bad bad bad combo. Hopefully the class itself will engage me out of slump.

My knee was giving me shit this weekend, I’m pleased to report that that has mostly passed. and that my shoulder, while still unhappy, is improving.

Also, orange juice + vanilla spirutein powder, really isn’t bad.

Also, in my like 15th or 16th game of puerto rico (with and , thanks for coming over, guys), I finally freaking won (I usually come in 2nd) by 1 point. Woohoo! =) Largely by emulating 😉
