I did 35 minutes on the treadmill this morning, slow but done; I really really need to get back in the habit of exercise. That's about all I've done today. I'm giving up on updating my old tablet that's now refusing to stay connected to the wireless. Not worth any more time. I think I'll trade it in at Best Buy for a Galaxy Tab.
My food is problematic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Juliebird, keep focused on taking care of yourself.
PSA, people: do not got to IKEA during the start of the school year in a college metropolis.
I can imagine!
I am feeling good about progress on work stuff, finally. Phew.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
In other non ranty-ness, I went on a two hour hike with dad and the two boxers. The highlight was winding up skirting the edge of someone's meadow at the bottom of a hill worthy of cows with bells, where we met a dog that looked like it had some Chesapeake in it, and she frolicked with Gizmo and Cisco and even spared me and dad some friendly licks. I named her Buster. Then it was time to be on our way. We said bye, I said stay. She came with us. Out past the little duck pond and back onto the atv trail. My dad was completely oblivious to our extra companion or just st didn't give a hoot. I knew the dog would most likely find her way bac home eventually but I didn't want to risk it. We hit another trail and were about to hang a left and take the next girl, and that dig was still with us. I confirmed which fork dad was taking and leashed my new buddy and walked back to Switzerland and let her go, and thankfully the excitement of her new canine buddies was forgotten.
I felt a little like that awful cartoon with the kangaroo.
Buster! Come back!

Paging Tep: I have been seized by a desire for a Dina and Hannelore crossover event.
I had to tell someone who would understand.
ETA: also, finished the one more thing so I have a good couple of hours of leisure before bed, hooray!

HELL. YES. My 2 favorites! Jeff Jacques and Dave Willis are friends, so this could happen in theory.

Does anyone know the original name of Mt. Everest? What do the Sherpas call it?

The Sherpas are an ethnic group in Nepal. The Nepalese name of Mt. Everest is Sagarmatha.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The Sherpas are an ethnic group in Nepal. The Nepalese name of Mt. Everest is Sagarmatha.
This is all coming straight off Wikipedia: apparently the Nepalese name was only coined in the 1960s. Up till then, the Nepalese (and most others in the vicinity, it seems) had used the Tibetan name, Chomolungma.

Thanks, guys. I hope they mean something cool like "Pillar of Heaven" or "Spine of the World" or "Divine Throne." Apparently all Denali means is "tall." Which, points for succinctness, but I like my mountain names to have a bit more cosmic resonance.
