Contrary to popular belief, I am neither interested in nor willing to experiment with dating or having sex with anyone very far from what I consider to be a heterosexual woman. I just thought it would be good to state that in public before anything untoward happens.

I ammmmm tired from work. But I have money! I want to go to a movie. Would anyone like to take me to a movie on Monday? I'll pay, all you have to do is plan it.

Today I went to the museum (again). The Audichron time announcement machine is working insofar as it speaks the time. Not hooked up to trunks yet, so you can't dial it. The 3ESS has a grand failure, we discovered; the multifreq receivers aren't working. So incoming calls are left high-and-wet. I installed a small PC as a replacement for the teletype. Now everything the cute little switch says is being recorded. Yes, I just called a computer the size of a pickup truck "cute" and "little". :P

I paid for my lunch using dollar coins, but not the Golden Dollar that the Mint is trying to get everyone to use. The bank only had Susan B Anthony and Sacajawea dollars, so I paid with a combination of those and quarters. The cashier didn't even blink; she recognized the SBA dollars as not quarters. Cool.

Perhaps there will be a #tcpa IRC meetup in Portland this July. (spengo take note; I actually mean it. I tried to arrange a meetup on the ticalc.org boards a long time ago, when I was in middle school. It didn't work but I didn't give up.)

From PostSecret. This one made me stop dead when I read it.

I've been to all three of those lines. Present company excepted, of course.

I'm considering changing my LJ to friends-only. Comments?

Why the heck not? Fascists.

I can't leave the house much while I'm recovering. That means that I'm deprived of human contact and all that. It sucks. Please call me on the phone; if nobody does then I'm going to dig into my 250-entry phonebook and start calling people.

Mood: bored

Thank you archeteuthys for showing me how to smell the world around me as if it were new. Even though I just noticed you defriended me.

Thank you faded_prints for ... I don't know who you are!

Thank you insaneinside for being a fellow nerd.

Thank you madgester for making me realize that my angst is but a drop in the bucket.

Thank you rfriel for not using emacs

Thank you rubberman for reminding me that sometimes all this just doesn't matter.

Thank you summerbloom44 for being sweet, even when others would be rude.

Thank you tsukiyomijapan for always being available.

Thank you underwaterharfe for not leaving me behind when you went to the UW and I chose not to apply.

Please comment?

Have finally gotten out of my hormone-or-lack-thereof-induced funk. 2 weeks is way too long to be semidepressed and totally lacking energy. Perhaps I have a date. Time will tell.

Today I went on a nice long bicycle ride to the UW. I spent a couple hours at the Engineering Library and then went to University Village. I wanted to go to RadioShack, but the front was busted in. I have pictures; if you want to see I'll mail them to you or something. A car hit it, I think.

Instead I went to Barnes & Noble, where I bought a Naxos copy of Bach's WTK (Book I) and the Winter issue of 2600.

Don't you like hyperlinks? They tie the web together.

Last week I

um

she said, "No."

Damn.

Scotty: Aye, captain.
