I've decided to keep this going because I feel like I've lost touch with some of y'all and don't want that to happen.  I'm still going to be more of a lurker, but... I miss hearing from y'all so call or e-mail.  Have to start preparing for the creature's birthday party so I'll put something more substantive up later.  New job is mostly good; I like ( Read more... )

Do you want an X-box? You know you do...
I'm selling my X-box with 2 dance pads, DDR 3, DOA, Tao Feng Fist of the Lotus, Stubbs the Zombie, and GTA 3 San Andreas Fault for $125.   Let me know if you want it.. You know you do.

I'm waiting for my gel to finish running and I can't do anything useful like work on my thesis in the meantime... About a month ago I got too broke to afford Yoga and decided to start running again because it's free, it's good excersize, and it's good for bonding/re-inforcement of obedience training with my dog.  I thought I would get into it for ( Read more... )
