The trailer is nearly packed.  I still have a problem - the trailer's too heavy for me to lift onto the hitch - but hopefully I'll be able to sort that one out.  I'm still angling for an 8:00 departure, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get the apartment clean by then.

Well, that's the end of that.  I turned in my keys today.  I'm a bit sad to be leaving, but not so sad as to regret my decision.  That will probably come later.

Meanwhile, I've got lots of packing left to do.  Whee, packing.

Sorry about the crossposting, for those of you who read plans or got stuck on the email list.

For the next two weeks, the National Marrow Donor Project is waiving the usual $50+ fee for new members.  If you go to www.marrow.org in the next two weeks, you can request a cheek swab kit to be sent to you by mail - with four swipes and a little ( Read more... )

I survived the 8-kilometer race!  Go me.  I finished in about 47 1/2 minutes, which is a little faster than I'd expected to go.  I'm still a bit tired, but not too sore, which is good, as we strike our final production in the middle of the night tonight.  Boo night-time strikes ( Read more... )

So I've been exercising regularly since February 28th, and it seems to be making a difference.  I think I may have lost a little weight, but I haven't been keeping track of that.  More importantly, I'm feeling better about myself.  Work isn't making me very happy right now, so the morale boost of getting out and jogging is helping me stay sane ( Read more... )

Hooray for free training websites.  beta.mapmyrun.com is currently making me really happy.  (It's good for activities other than running, too.)

In other news, Lowell is coming to Beloit this weekend.  He and I are going to a taping of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, the best weekly news quiz on radio.  It'll be a lot of fun, I think.

Also, I'm considering ( Read more... )

Taken from Fark - an animated stereogram. 
A bunch of us got pretty excited about stereograms when they first became widely available - my brother had a stereogram poster in his room for a while, for instance.  I wondered at the time whether animated stereograms would ever take off as a new broadcast medium.  I figured that the constantly shifting ( Read more... )

Updating from work.  My standards for productivity have fallen through the floor... I'm generally anti-LJ at work.  Oh well.  I'm still anti-Fark at work, so at least I've still got some scruples left.
Anyway.  Three upcoming events that I'm planning to take part in:
The Red Shoe Run for Donor Awareness on April 14th (pledge-based; pledges underwrite ( Read more... )

Tonight we're striking the fourth show of our five-production season.  We're taking approximately $1500 worth of scenery, chopping it into bits, and pitching it, as it's so show-specific that it really can't be used again, and it's constructed in a way to make it very hard to salvage.  There's a fair amount of lumber involved here, and a lot of it ( Read more... )

While I'm okay with jogging in below-freezing temperatures (which is basically a necessity around here), I am not okay with jogging in stinging blowing snow.  My attempt to start exercising seems to be stymied.  Maybe this evening the winds will have died down.  Here's hoping.
