last night i was sitting on the couch, working on some physics problems & dan was sitting next to me, internetting:
me: "i'm confused about...."
dan: "i smell dog shit."
(dan glanced down at his shoes momentarily & continued to help me solve the problem. time passed...)
me: "i don't understand this part..."
dan: "i smell DOG SHIT!"
(dan was a bit exasperated at this point. he smelled the soles of both shoes even though they were spotless. no poop smell. i was not wearing shoes. neither of us had recently farted either...)
i told dan he couldn't write about this on his blog because it's embarrassing... but every time i think about it, i laugh.

sleepy peepy
i recently got a ridiculously bad haircut. it kinda looks like the woman cut my bangs straight across my forehead. the straight-across-the-forehead haircut looks ridiculous on anyone & this is something i've mentioned to dan on occasion...as he once sported the 'do himself years ago.
had another physics test this week. i felt completely unprepared but i got another crazy-high score. when i went to class on thursday the teacher asked me if i was bored in the class because he's going so slow. what a goon! i assured him i was struggling to keep up.
my gal-pal, katie, is likely moving back to balto in a few weeks for most of the winter. haven't talked to her in several weeks - but i sure am feeling excited!
had a work fundraiser last weekend & it wasn't too bad. i found a fun vintage dress & that helped. dan went dress shopping a couple of times in the weeks leading up to the event & i eventually settled on this kinda-ok, kinda-gimpy (super cheap looking) dress for $100. i wasn't feeling all that confident about it so i kept looking. anyway, i got a well-made dress, shoes, earrings & a wrap for less than the gimpy department store dress. not only that, but the only new thing i bought were the shoes - everything else was used! pretty pumped about that.
when i was shopping around used places, i stopped in a goodwill store downtown to check out their stock of dresses. i noticed it smelled a little off when i went in but didn't pay any attention to it - used stuff can be a little smelly. i picked up a couple of dresses & headed to the changing rooms when i heard the staff folks ahead of me say that someone had taken a shit on the floor in one of the changing rooms. i then realized i didn't need to try on any of those dresses because they weren't what i wanted anyway.

Can Dan increase his ∆x without increasing his protein intake?
I don't think so.
Not much going on in these parts. Stumbling my way through forces for a pre-test tomorrow. My understanding is pretty slim so I don't expect to do well.
An interesting situation occured yesterday. I had a freelance design gig about 2 years ago for this couple, designing a major addition and renovation for their house. I finished working for them 18 months ago because they contracted me for design work only, not structural drawings. This was very clear in the beginning but became a point of stress later on in the relationship. What can I do? I'm not an architect. Anyway, they've been slow to get things started & I've been completely wrapped up in my own life for the last 12 months. I get a call on Sunday morning that there's a major problem with the drawings I've given them & that if I don't make the time to resolve it, they'll sue me, basically. Totally awesome! Anyway, turns out this boob-of-an-architect they're working with to complete structural drawings for them has totally screwed up the drawings somehow - no fault of mine. It was an easy fix - I just emailed the file again. But seriously though, the dude should know how to work with CAD files. I think he's a bit of a schiester & trying to get more $$$ out of them. Stupid ass. Anyway, I've learned my lesson for real - though I already had before it got to this point. I'm not working with folks who can't build it themselves.
Other than that, I'm putting the finishing touches on a game that I will play with the new crew at work tomorrow - to review everthing they've learned thus far. We'll see how it goes. Thank God Dan's funny, cuz I sure ain't. Physics tutor & script-writer extraordinaire, my spouse.

sleep, why do you elude me?
so, it's pretty early in the morning & i've given up trying to sleep. i can't even rest. nasty headache & thoughts of work. we're re-arranging the warehouse in a few weeks & i'm kinda freaked out about how i can get 25 volunteers to get it all done & done well. a little nerve-racking.
went to a work function last night & the food was good but upset my guts a bit. the folks who had the shin-dig made a lot of food - 4 or 5 main dishes. but they all had meat. what the hell?! i wish more people knew how to prepare 1 vegetarian main dish, meaning it has protein. nice of them to host a party though.
i'm wondering if my brother in japan might be around at this time of day. it's 4:30pm-ish there. we talked for about 10 minutes in the last 10 months.
spent 4 hours writing one stupid physics lab today. rediculous. i hate labs.
hm... that's pretty much all i've got at the moment.
