My dad kept losing the remote so my mom bought him some gadget at Radio Shack that is a wristwatch remote. He had a lot of fun with that.

That's really quite cool.

Very Dick Tracy. And I think that universal remotes work on some unusual things like certain microwaves. Perfect gift for pranksters.

Here's an example of a math lesson with kinesthetic stuff... I have a resume I'm submitting to a creative firm. I want it to stand out among the hundreds they'll no doubt receive so I'm submitting it in the form of a paper construction. That is, I'll submit it flat, but it will be able to be assembled into a shape. If I were better at math, I'd be able to figure out how to break the 3-D form into a 2-D paper cutout. But I'm awful at math so it's going to involve a lot of trial and error on my part.

It's surprising how little I was able to find on the web about this subject. I have great admiration for those folks who design innovative packaging that was clearly assembled from one piece. When I was in 4th grade, a kid's parent who did paper 3-d works came in and presented. It's a real artform.

Anyway, applying the math learned in school to that would be really cool.

I don't get the urge often, but when I do, I tend to do a whole top to bottom clean and re-org.

Heh, I get like this too.

And I am a control-freaky type with my things, and when I lose track of things I go SO INSANE, like head splodey and accelerated heart rate and stuff.

Has the remote turned up yet?

Today will be a research day. All day!

Well, I had a 'date' tonight with one of the other women from my dating dilemma. I tried to let her down easy, explain to her that I was seeing someone else and so I couldn't get involved with her. There were tears, of course. But I got myself back under control eventually.

I rarely lose my keys (and never my glasses, since if they're not on my face they're less than an arm's length away), but yesterday I did lock myself out of my apartment. Fortunately, DH was only half an hour behind me coming home, but it was a cooooold 30 minutes on the stoop waiting.

So far today, I have made falafel. (Just the "batter" -- it has to sit in the fridge for several hours before I can form the balls and fry them, but still. Go me!)

We are all headed to brunch this morning. I'm very excited about it - breakfast in a warm cozy place with other people. Maybe I'm so happy because Ellie slept for 9! hours! last night!!!

Yay for finding JZ's glasses!

Today will be a research day. All day!

Same here...well, studying anyway...not so much with the researching, but there will be a little of that too.

Maybe I'm so happy because Ellie slept for 9! hours! last night!!!

That's wonderful! Go Ellie!

Wow! 9 hours is wonderful. And how many hours did Stephanie sleep?

I lose stuff all the time. Fortunately I am also find it girl. I both lose and break glasses so I wear contacts now.

Break time for me. I just put together a 21 page pdf with airline reservations, 3 hotel reservations, car reservation, and 7 directions maps for various legs of Brendon's trip to California tomorrow. Now I feel all organized.

Ugh, this sucks. Between working the PA gig during the week, and the play on the weekends, I have learned whole new meanings of the word tired.

Lately, especially when working the play, I've gotten so tired it hurts.
