On Life and Love
Whatever is making or breaking my day.

I got hit by a what?!
A deer. In the (literally) one mile stretch between my apartment and campus (I’d gone home for lunch), a deer charged across the road and plowed into the driver’s side of my car. There’s a dent in my car and a gimpy deer running around now. …the fuck this shit have to happen to me?

Not my day.
So I discovered this morning (around 03:00, as I got up to tinkle) that I evidently pulled a muscle in my inner thigh. Ow. I didn’t make it out for my walk this morning, either. I didn’t think it was that bad until I got to work and sat still for a couple of hours before trying to walk around. Ow. Even laughing hurts. It was suggested that I therefore have a “full body laugh”. Meh. The discomfort became distracting, so I started hunting around for pain medication. No one had any Tylenol, so I optimistically took an Aleve. Yeah… me and NSAIDs still don’t get along. I feel like…

Just a bad conversation all around
So N. (Mr. “He’s fond of you”) and I were discussing how almost all the guys at work have children… which is a little weird, since these are all computer/telco geeks. Here’s the end of the conversation: N: Yeah, K had, like, five children. Me: Five spawn? Good grief. N: Yeah, only two professors have bigger families than that–[names the Two Famous Families] Me (growing increasingly horrified): Wait, but aren’t you guys all supposed to be computer geeks?!

And by “situated” I mean that I cleaned, recleaned, and cleaned one mo’ ‘gain. I could kill Luke and Dr. 7 both for the state of that bathroom… Ick. Anyway, work started on Monday. It is fun. It is hard to stay focused. I feel like I know entirely too much about podcasting at this point (a few of the links I’ve found are here, but I just starting adding links there this afternoon), but I’m awaiting responses from some…

It’s all about the soundtrack.
This weekend has been all about the music for me. Thursday night I made two CDs, one for putting a passenger to sleep (don’t ask, but the CD was full of my favorite Seal songs), and one for when I wanted to scream my heart out tunelessly–Conjure One, Enigma, Dido, and a little Sneaker Pimps. My poor passenger Friday morning listened to me croon along with Seal for an hour. Turns out I screamed with Linkin Park on the way home. I hit you and you hit me back We fall to the floor / the rest of the day stands still Fine line between this and that When things…
