Yesterday wore me out, but was a very nice day, what with driving up to Gudanov's to pick up an old computer he was getting rid of. (Sorry that my timing was inopportune for a more relaxed visit.) I had great weather almost all the way, and found out that my car got nearly 35 mpg over the drive - that's better highway mileage than when it was brand new 8 years ago!
Me being me, I spotted a Brazillian steakhouse from the highway on the drive up though Springfield, and managed to squeak in an hour before their closing time. Being on the Atkins diet and an all-you-can-eat for $21 steakhouse are definitely a match made in carnivore heaven, and my extremely friendly waiter was perhaps the hottest man I've met in the past couple of years. (Seriously, I considered leaving my phone number on the check!)
I had just about the nerdiest birthday shindig last night EVER. A bunch of our friends met us at the bar, and there was a lot of drinking. I got a cool DC comics coffee mug, Avengers duct tape, a pirate lexicon, and other entertaining stuff.
When we got home, since it was after midnight, Tim let me open the box from the 3D printing company. I now have a mobius bacon strip (INFINITE BACON!) printed in sandstone, and a Klein bottle, printed in nylon. So. Freaking. COOL.
I, uh, also have a bit of a headache. I think cider #4 was a bad decision.
Well done, birthday nerd!
Tep, do you think you need this, maybe for your bathroom? Or maybe this?
Happy birthday, girl!
Phone rang at 11:30 last night because servers 87 and 88 were not responding to monitoring. NOT MY DIVISION! But I actually couldn't help, and suggested they wake up someone who was a) on the support team and b) could provide useful information. Partial benefit of the new job--I'd rather not have been woken up at all.
And I may really really need to get a new mattress. Back pain got me out of bed, not being awake enough this morning. Fothermuck.
It's a weird feeling when I'm out and trying to decide what special treat I can buy for a meal but really want to drink that nummy treat I have at home--fizzy citrus water or tea. Still haven't bought a drink other than water out in months.

Hey, those might go great with the new vanity!
Happy Birthday, to the proudly geeky, witty-as-hell, kinkalicious, and deeply interesting Tep!
Happy birthday, Teppy! That Klein bottle is amazing! Also, bacon. Man, I want a 3D printer.
I hope Pete feels better soon.
Best wishes to Jesse's grandmother.
Peace and calm ~ma for your vacation, Burrell! Vacation pre-show was always like that at our house, too.
My arm is much better today. I no longer fear death. At least for the moment. I have two house-organizing items on my agenda for today, and here at 1pm I haven't started either one. But I'm supposed to be lazy on a Sunday, right?
