It's currently 0* with -25* windchill. Since I'm out of food, I was forced to go to Star. The outside part of the journey probably took 10 minutes or less, but felt like an eternity, and convinced me that if I stayed out there another 5 minutes my fingers would turn from red (which they were) to black and fall off, even though I was wearing gloves. Fucking windchill. The funny thing is, I like this better than the 120* Phoenix can reach in the summer. Why? I don't know... I guess because I like warming up better than cooling down. It feels nicer, I guess... all cozy.
Jiu jitsu class in 40 minutes, yay! I'm learning how to kill people! After a few months I should be able to say "I'm gonna kick your ass" and mean it!

Still in Phoenix. Saw RotK yesterday and loved it. Got my real Christmas present today, which was a Nomad Zen Xtra mp3 player. Forty gigs of absolutely gorgeous sound quality for the price of a 10 gig iPod. Will be back in Boston on the 13th, hopefully in time to see 24 at 9:00. Need to read lots of Sandman between then and Saturday, when the Assassins' Guild Sandman game begins. I really need to go to sleep now.

| Happy secular New Year! |

Someone posted this New Year blessing on the rattiepix LJ community.. I thought it was adorable. Mostly because ratties are the bestest creatures.
"May your rats always brux.
May your cats always purr.
May your car always start, and your checks never bounce."
So there you go.
A selection of my New Year's resolutions:
1. Exercise more.
2. Keep up the being social thing and try to improve on it.
3. Don't stop reading, no matter how much work I have.
4. Find something to really care about again.
5. Stop wasting so much time.
...Among other things.

home again, after a dismal week in connecticut. i don't feel like capitalizing, so you're going to have to deal; sorry. past week was a huge waste; did nothing but sit around in their blue-grey little house trying to close my ears to all the yelling (hearing aids) and insulting "teasing" and lack of any personal time or space. came home and found it changed, though i was expecting that. i'm trying not to think about how many happy memories took place in the room i'm sitting in, which is completely different looking now (albeit better looking)... now there is really nothing left of those memories, save a few photos that i'll probably never want to look at. appropriate, i guess, given things that have happened recently. i guess. parts of me don't want to let go. parts of me say i already have.
i should listen to less depressing music, maybe.
how long are people going to be in phoenix?

From whence this came...
Scroll down to "Awful Link of the Day," read the blurb about the Amazing Flame Thrower, and follow the Pyradyne link. Good stuff.
Also: more amusement..

Life is being confusing. I'm about to do something that is simultaneously one of the dumbest and smartest things I've done in a long time. But the problem mostly starts once that's over...
And I'm practically out of Nutella, goddammit.
The good news is, there are huge piles of snow everywhere.
Though.. in a way that's also bad, because it means there's no way I'm going to Star for more between now and winter break. Eh, it's worth it.
Anyway....
I'll leave you with this amusing quote from a couple nights ago:
---------------------------------------
As Vogt and Yelena are physically fighting over Trek vs. B5 in the midst of our heated nerd conversation:
Kim: You know who didn't deserve to die?
Alex: Jesus?

Did I say it was snowing earlier? ::sounds disgusted:: That wasn't snow.
This is snow.

And yay for people who sit around all day making up correspondences to these colors.*
( My HTML color )
*Kind of reminds me of this, out of which I got a good laugh, in a nervous "this is really a joke, right?" kind of way. I mean, it's kind of interesting, but it seems more like putting science in place of actual spirituality rather than seamlessly blending the two, not to mention it sounds like the kind of thing Katie and I would do as a joke in high school.

Today was a very good day. Absolutely no tooling was done, neither was any laundry. Wandering around Cambridge talking to a cool person, however, did happen. Getting grilled on my love life by a hallmember also happened, and that was kind of weird, because I didn't see at all how it had to do with convincing him not to move off hall next term, but it was nonetheless amusing.
Life has gotten so much more interesting since I came out of my room.
The Spam Code project is coming along. I have quite a collection so far (thanks Laurel!) and some interesting motifs are developing. I'll keep you posted.

These just in: "the risen christ" and "bitter tenderness rose." It means something! I just know it!! What is the spam trying to tell us?? If both Christ and bitter tenderness are rising... perhaps "bitter tenderness" is a metaphor for the world and our painful yet beautiful mortal existence, but these two messages delivered together means that Christ's Second Coming is soon, and that we too shall be taken up into Heaven!
No, no, I'm not seeing the whole picture... I must put as many of these together as I can to form the real picture, and obtain the entire message!
Help me in my quest - post/email these 3-word subject lines (whenever you collect enough) and I'll make a website, an analysis project which will turn into an international cult.. I mean.. which will.. um.. uncover the ultimate truth and meaning of the universe!
