Mom- I don't know why the Amazon link isn't working via email, but here's my wishlist:

As I said, no need to get me anything but I admit, my wishlist is a bit packed.
Oh, and please if you do- no books apart from cookbooks. I am way behind on my reading. :)

Well hello.

I am actually phasing out using LJ. I need a fresh start after using this site for so long.

So I'll be here if you need me:

Alternately, if you want to keep reading me on LJ, I made a syndication of my blog.

I am generally going to pare things down over here, so if you see yourself suddenly not on my friends list, it's not indicative of anything at all :) Just me closing shop.

This was my day:

• 08:50 Girl on the bus was reading a book called 'Discovering computers'- chapter on 'input devices'. Why did that make me laugh inwardly?
• 09:22 I used to love the moment when I was completely studied and ready to take a test. I loved that victorious feeling in class. <-nerd
• 10:41 Nothing says good morning like A fire alarm in a 14 story building with one stairwell.
• 15:31 I can't decide what's more of a mess this week- me, or the technical equipment in my classrooms.
• 17:12 Inspired by everyone's trip on Sunday, I am at Epic Burger

This was my day:

• 23:10 Am drinking apple cider vinegar. Don't ask... it's a folk remedy that works. *Gag*
• 08:47 Well, it was thoroughly dead on the bus this morning. Don't get me wrong, an empty 6 = room to take up 2 seats with my bags.
• 10:10 I am endlessly surprised by how I can study something, have it not stick, then go to bed and wake up knowing it perfectly.
• 11:08 AKLfjfjskdjflskdjfskjgslgslgkjdglkjsldg! *falls over*
• 11:14 Am not in a good mood. Can I go back to bed yet?
• 14:01 I did something uncharacteristic of me- I bought a Diet Coke from a vending machine. If you see me with a cigarette, smack me.
• 15:40 I am just having a terrible day today. Sigh.
• 16:04 going to go do yoga and try to find my happy place
• 19:12 Post yoga I'm feeling a ton better!
• 19:54 I just learned that Kirk Cameron is a big actor in evangelical films. (!)

This was my day:

• 09:59 Crappy night's sleep plus allergies? Oof. Grumble.
• 10:39 I don't feel like working at my desk today, so I am sitting at the kitchen table hoping the un-ergonomic setup won't be a huge problem.
• 11:25 One facebook app I think you should add- helps Humane Society save shelter dogs: tinyurl.com/ao2o88
• 12:35 Oh, huh, all you people going to Epic Burger... it's right around the corner from my office. Wonder if they have veggie burgers.
• 13:21 Gah, my wrist has been really bothering me since yesterday. Not sure if I did something odd during yoga or it's carpal tunnel
• 15:19 Because of wrist, had to stop dong teaching prep for Tues (hopefully will get to tomm). Studying Japanese instead.
