I'm not getting enough work done on my thesis. I've been blaming this on my officemates being loud, because I really am horrible at tuning stuff out, but today, the office was empty, and I still didn't really get much done. I need to find something outside of math to do, but I can't figure out what. I thought about community theatre, since I miss doing theatre stuff, but there's nothing I can get to easily. Then I thought about joining a softball team, but the DC softball league's website crashed my browser. And I feel like my social anxiety is getting worse while at the same time I need contact with people more, which is just making me frustrated.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
my spanish lesson podcast is making me so hungry. They're in a tapas restaurant talking about tortilla espanola, croquetas de champinones and crema catalana. Tengo hambre para tapas!

But the ice cream wasn't GOOD, Fay!!
And I'm hungry too. But it's bedtime. So I will just have to wait for breakfast. If I were motivated, I'd get up and go get a real breakfast, but I will likely sleep in and hit up Starbucks instead. It's across the street, thank goodness.

CJ has 101.6 temp. Sent STBX to the store for some Tylenol as we are OUT.
I wish I could stay home with him tomorrow, but I have a busy day at work. Miss Senior (aka K-Bug) has offered to take a day off school to watch her little brother. Next week is a testing week for all the other grades, so the seniors have little to no class time anyway....

In Decatur, Georgia, when I lived there, they had put in place a policy that trash would only be picked up in special blue City of Decatur bags that you had to buy at stores for $1 a pop. You better believe people paid more attention to what they were buying and throwing out v. recycling/composting, etc.When I was in undergrad in Lancaster County, PA, they started a recycling program. Big Blue Bags for $2 (I think) and free recyvle for 1 & 2 plastic, papers, & Al. I was all over it! SWEET! The locals bitched BIG time. Until they realized just how much could be recycled. The county had a goal of 25% reduction in waste in 5 years. They had a 50% in the FIRST year. It was awesome!

...I'm betting it was better than the tasteless, textureless sugar-free chocolate icecream that's the ONLY icecream I've had since December.
However, I have just eaten a small pot of almond paste, double cream and unsweetened cocoa with a dash of sweetener, and, by heaven, that was teh yum.
Note to self: Get on with making own damn low-carb icecream.

ok, hivemind question here. What is the best way to sort classical music CD's? My first instinct is by composer (Bach, Brahms, Dvorak, etc). But then I have some artists, like Yo Yo Ma, and I don't want them scattered around. So do I blow convention with those? Or do I say "who cares, I'm usually listening thru iTunes"? Curious what those that are more classically music orientated do?

Perhaps by what's most relevant? So if you bought it because of the composer, and can't actually remember who's playing, then use the composer, but if you bought it because you love the artist, then list the artist?
(But, you know, my approach to organising is just tottering piles of CDs in no particular order.)
