vacuum

it was so windy at lunch today that walking outdoors was futile. i arrived at atousa's desk to let her know about the weather and she suggested we walk indoors. at first i had no idea what she was talking about, but she said she walks laps inside. the building is big enough so i thought "why not!". it turned out pretty good. we probably did a little less than 10 laps and walked for 20 minutes. it was quite tiring, and i worked up some heat. i thought it was a great idea, and am surprised no one else thought of it before. i bet it'll start a trend.

i feel like i accomplished a lot this evening. i got my drive clean etest done, bought my vehicle sticker, and got my christmas shopping started. i really like getting stuff off my back. i also had the pleasure of dinner with the melles's, always tastey and good conversation.

b is in a total trance at the moment. he's lying on the couch listening to blues music, totally absorbed. it's really fascinating. i like this about him. it's very cool.

apparently on a scale of one to ten, i'm a four when it comes to being mysterious. hmph. i had hoped i was more intriguing than that.

i'm a few bricks short of a load,
but a full load always hurt my back.
