Yeah…so I’m just updating this so Becky will leave me alone.
Honestly though, I don’t see how it’s all that weird that I hang out at work when I’m not working…I mean I don’t have internet access where I’m staying, so it’s perfectly natural that I’d go someplace where I have a nice computer already setup for me (I have Thunderbird and GAIM all setup there). Plus, the people there are all as nerdy as I am and…yeah…OK, maybe it is weird…but I’m weird so it’s OK, right? Of course right. And I’ve been listening to too much Fiddler on the Roof, but that’s another story.
Yeah…I really need to get internet access at home…I was carrying my phone around text messaging back and forth with someone for 45 minutes or so yesterday. I’m lucky I don’t have carpal tunnel in my thumbs…
ooooh, quote time:
Me: Gordy, what do you do with your socks?
Gordy: In what context?

Weekend was good. I was teaching a catamaran class most of the day Saturday and Sunday…my nose and ears are sunburned, but not badly…I found my sunscreen, though, so that won’t happen anymore (right…). Anyway, the students were good, everyone was happy (catamarans always put big smiles on faces…they go fast!).
On a separate note:
If I ever get stuck in a room again with 3 girls talking about bridesmaid dresses, I swear I’ll kill myself…or cry…or something….
It has also been brought to my attention that I’m a Marshmellow Peep Bunny (of the blue variety…not pink). I’ll let y’all think about that one. That reminds me of a funny website: Peep Research.

I was going to study yesterday. Really I was. But it was sunny and windy and I had my sailing gear in my car…and of course, I’ve always maintained that academics should never be allowed to interefere with sailing. 
I decided to single-hand a Hobie 16, so after half an our of patching ripped out batten pockets with sail tape I finally got on the water. The jib sheets were too big for the blocks, which made sheeting out rather difficult…I’ll have to fix that. And this time I got a trapeze harness that actually fit into the hardware on the boat–last time I grabbed a harness with a windsurfing spreader bar…and, well…let’s just say I was slightly annoyed to find out it didn’t fit after I was on the water. Always check first. The sail was great–my sail trim is pretty bad, but it was getting better by the time I was finished–if longer trap runs are any indication of better sail trim. I do have slightly sore ribs from the trapeze harness…but it was totally worth it.
Anyway…I left my gear at home to dry so I won’t have any excuse not to study today.

Wordpress released version 1.5–I think I like it a lot better. Not only does it look cooler, but it has a lot of features for dealing with comment spam which was becoming a real pain…I’m turning comments on for subsequent posts…hopefully this isn’t a mistake…
Not that anyone comments anyway.
