    I decided to cancel my appointments and settle in at home (2 weeks after moving).

    Huzzah!
  • I'm going to drink fancy cheap beer under the Brooklyn Bridge tonight!
    Do some web projects I've had no time to do yet.
    Repot a plant I got for work.
    Order a fancy pie from the fancy pie place.
    Oh, also, I'm going to run a marathon on Sunday.
  • FANCY PIE
    MARATHON
    = they go together like cinnamon and vinegar! HUZZAH AND GOOD LUCK

    RCH did you move into your wee hut? What's it like??
  • I'm going to go watch old reels of film in the woods!
  • It's a palace to me! Things I love about the hut

    The lighting design (skylights for day, recessed lighting and sconces at night)
    The heat lamp in the bathroom
    The new, snug-fitting windows
    The nice owners and on-site property manager
    The way the floor slopes so if you spill, it drips west
    The concrete floor
    The way Ikea laminate feels (so satiny smooth)
    The way I can see but not hear David saying hello through the glass door when i come home
    The patio door, ponderously heavy, fitting snugly in its frame as against gale-force winds
    The way (I hear) the wall heater warms the house in minutes

    Things I am excited about (interior design list)

    My red office... the walls covered in red paper "bricks", red desk, red chair, red smaller table... my red saw hanging from the ceiling by a red chain ("The Sword Of Damocles," to remind me that every moment is a miracle)

    Taking inspiration from retail design to make up for a lack of a closet (all my clothes will be hang on a metal grid on the longest wall)

    Two ceiling-to-floor-length James Deans on either side of a full-length mirror, both pointing at the mirror with wonderful wry looks

    Coming up with my filing solution for my collection of paper goods (I am a graphic design nerd): A full-service, 5-drawer dresser
  • I want to do my laundry!
    I'm about to go spend a Macy's gift card at Lloyd Center!

    I want to watch a movie, drink hot chocolate, and visit RB in her hut.
  • RCH, that hut sounds like a very cozy place.
    Last night I heard what sounded like football coming from the High School.
    Today I went to the farmer's market and later gave my friend birthday things by the water, she was doing an outdoor presentation with tanks full of sea animals (starfish, sea cucumber, sea pen, scallops, sea urchins, crabs and others).
    Now I am going to re-heat yesterday's soup, drink fake coffee and get back to work.
  • What a great day.

    I drank some extremely strong coffee that Adam named "Jazz Sauce" and cooked a really great breakfast for us: eggs with tomato, basil, parmesan, and chickn sausage, and an everything bagel toast.

    Then I felt amazing and wrote many important emails.

    Then I went to the mall and drank Orange Julius with a buddy, and purchased a blender.

    I came home to a pretty clean little house (thanks Alan) and a funny cat, and a nice rainy evening. We just made the bed, and I'm making Annie's macaroni.

    Then, a movie!

    I did every thing I wanted to except go see Rebecca, but there's still tomorrow. BB, I'm coming for you......
  • "Jazz Sauce" is great slang.
    I plan on making my husband use it.
    It will look so good in his mouth!
  • Jazz Sauce! I'm having some THIS MINUTE
    It maybe could even be a little bit jazzier, frankly.
    I'm eating a bagel and an apple, drinking this jazz sauce, about to get to work on my work for the day. Got to read some stuff about philosophy of music, got to read Plato and about Plato, then I'll be done!

    Rainy sunday vibes, good for working.
  • Anyone ever had that dandelion root coffee?
  • I have a jar of that stuff at my house, I was excited to make it the other day but it's tricky to do it right.
    In Australia you can get it as a cappuccino and it's incredible!
    I need to perfect my technique.
    It's sort of like Inka, but a little more watery and spicier?
  • My results:
    Too much fancy beer.
    Forgot to order the pie.
    Other stuff I forgot about.
    Did a marathon. 3 minutes faster than my goal. Bam.
  • BAM for REAL!! Way to go, Spencer!!!
  • GOOD JOB SONNY!!!!
    Fastest kid in town!
  • SLIIIIIIME!!!
  • SLIIIME!

    Now Portland in 3 weeks. I can't imagine running another one right now.
  • Also, huge improvement over Whidbey.

  • Nice sextotal.

    You are running the Portland marathon in 3 weeks?

    Ever thought of getting into super marathons?
    It seems like you are a natural. (and work hard at it)
  • Mega marathons even.

    I've thought about them. I don't think I'm ready for a 50 or 100 miles yet. That is hard for me to imagine doing. I'm not really pro.
  • Way to go, Spencer!

    (A more athletic way to title you)
  • Now that it's Monday everything sucks again.
  • It's been such a total Monday.

    The everlasting Monday of the soul.
  • I had a good monday! I taught Plato by way of Mike's Sandwich Dilemma, it was great.

    Matthew, that is badass. You finished in such a good place/rank!! You are fast!

    I too can not imagine running 100 miles. The most I've done is 10 and it was pretty brutal/took like 3 hours

  • What is this sandwich dilemma you speak of?
  • well, what is a sandwich? Define it.
  • I probably should let Mike jump in here and take this conversation the rest of its way.

    Here's some recent sandwich background: http://urbanhonking.com/uhx/discussion/223/sandwiches/p1
  • edited September 2011
    The Mike's Sandwich Dilemma is an exercise in failed taxonomy. Essentially it proves that science can not contain the miracle of the world we live in and therefore some sort of creator must exist. The MSD is the only logical proof of God in the history of man.
  • That, for the record, is not what I said in class.
  • Oh. Well, I guess you taught it wrong.
  • Is this a sandwich?

  • Is life a sandwich?
  • Is it Uncle Boat Shoes who claims he doesn't like a sandwich? I find that amazing!
