dorking

I'll tell the interesting non-dork stuff before I get to the dork stuff.

Today I blew a fuse in my house. I tried to plug my vacuum into a power strip that had many other things on it, although none of them were actually on, so I thought it was safe. There was a spark and a pop and another weird noise from elsewhere in the house, and now half of my apartment is dark-party worthy. Well, none of the lights work, and neither does the socket that strip was plugged into. The socket in my bedroom works (for my alarm clock) and the sockets over on this side of the apartment work (luckily for my continued computer existance). I have lamps plugged into them and that is my only source of light.

Idea - take lamps into bedroom and bathroom for light. Wow, I'm fast.

I also rolled up the rug on my living room floor so I could skate around on my sneakers. The cats didn't enjoy this.

I made green curry tonight to use up the rest of my chicken. The problem is, I didn't make it with rice (was too lazy, grin), so I have all this leftover green curry sauce that didn't make it all over chicken or veggies and into my mouth. It's in a tupperware container in the fridge. I figure I might make rice some day and then put the curry sauce on it and eat that. It's making me feel hungry, so it must be a good idea...

Oh! I ran across this while opening my nutrition textbook today... "In a person severely deficient in iron, weakness is common and temperature control may be altered, causing the person to feel cold." ... the weird part is, I think I eat more meat and irony-things than many other people I know. And I think the plasma place checks my iron levels? But it's interesting nontheless. Maybe my body needs more iron than normal people.

Okay, so, dorkiness. I finally got to the lab to play DAOC. Whee!! It's fun. I'm just a newbie right now... an newbie Saracen rogue. I'm going to be a minstrel when I reach level 5! The good thing about being a newbie is that deaths don't count. They do nothing except make you start over at the place where you are bound. It's an annoyance, but not horrible. I made it to level 3 tonight. I'm a good kid; when it reached midnight, I came home. I think I'm going to be pretty good about regulating myself. Unless the game gets terribly more interesting at level 5. ;)

Well, I think that's about it. The cats are very upset that their rug is all rolled up. Oh, well. I am going to go sleep and make it to class in the morning!

good eve'n

Just got back from a 5-hour gaming session. Average deaths was over 1/hour. ;) Jason was about to commit ritual seppuku for getting me killed that much, but I really don't care - I got level 5, and deaths right then don't count for much either, so nothing bad happened to me. I got to become a bard, and got a combat spell, a regeneration spell, and a speed spell. For the speed I do this awesome drumbeat, and my character kind of dances around. It's cool :) Anyway, more tomorrow.

Note I am back before midnight.

I am keeping the little travel clock that Saxon gave out last Christmas in my living room on the desk next to the computer. It has a temperature gauge, and I'm keeping it in celsius. Right now it is 23.5, and it is a little chilly but not cold - I'm fine in my reclaimed-turtleneck (more about that in the next paragraph). I was very comfortable in the middle of Sunday when it was 25 (77F). I don't remember what I was wearing.

I've started a turtleneck reclamation project. I realize that when I look in my closet, I see a lot of turtlenecks, but I don't like to wear them. The necks are too long to be folded down once, and too short (so they don't stay) when I try to fold them in thirds. And I don't like the way they make my face look. So I took out my black turtleneck and cut off the neck to make it into a crewneck. Now it looks great and I really like it! So I will be doing this with all of my turtlenecks. Or maybe some of them I will just cut down shorter than they are now.

I'm really, really hungry, but I figure I will be hungry when I wake up too so I should just go to bed and make my body wait. Eat up some of that stored energy :)

I still haven't called anyone about this blown fuse (Logan and I found the fusebox last night, yes it's a blown fuse, but the type of fuse was not one we found at walmart and home depot was already closed. We assume that it is an old type that is not to be found anymore). The dark in my bedroom and bathroom isn't that bad. I shower and everything in the morning when light is coming in.

Hmmm, morning. I should probably get to bed.
