Yeah, the title doesn&#039t mean anything interesting. Just ignore it. I just needed a title and couldn&#039t think of anything witty or clever, so I came up with something dumb. Go figure.

So this weekend went fairly uneventfully. Friday night I remember making spaetzle and sausage, but other than that I&#039m not sure what all went on. I think there was some playing of Magic Pengel, but other than that, I dunno. Saturday my day was spent in Indianapolis at the Circle Center mall with the head of our department and another advisor. We were to sit at a table with pamphlets and such to recruit high schoolers to come to ISU. We got to Indy insanely early so we could eat at this fancy Italian place beforehand. The actual recruitment fair wasn&#039t too bad. We got to listen to the Ebony Majestic Choir which came all the way over to Indy from the Haute for the event. Too bad we had to stand around so long; my legs still ache. Or is that from running back and forth between here and the College of Education this morning? Oh well.

Saturday night was spent doing something… I seem to recall typing up some more of my notes for my ISU web page. It&#039s done as of now because I ran by Root Hall to pick up the last of my notes which I had loaned out. I typed them up this morning. Brannagh&#039s hard drive is dying. Sometime late Saturday night, it started clicking. Yeah, clicking. Not a good sign. Needless to say, we&#039ve shut her off and haven&#039t booted her back up yet. The husband said that she might have thirty more seconds to live, maybe thirty more days. Who knows? I need to boot her up though so I can try to get some files copied over to Brigid. I&#039ll have Ian make me a file or something which I&#039ll be able to find easily. The lucky thing is that because we just upgraded damn near everything on her, we had to recently wipe and reinstall everything. That means that there isn&#039t a lot of accumulated crap on there like I normally would have. I really just have a few documents in a folder and my saves from Bloodlines. Most of my schoolwork I&#039ve been keeping on my handy-dandy jump drive, so that&#039s less to worry about.

Um, I&#039m jumping around so let&#039s jump to Sunday because I don&#039t remember the rest of Saturday night. I&#039ve been real exhausted lately, and I think that it&#039s been preventing me from remembering even the most basic stuff like what I ate for lunch yesterday (Rally&#039s something or other, but that&#039s beside the point). So Sunday I slept for forever (though waking up a lot) and then played some Katamari Damacy before Ian and I went to Denny&#039s for lunch only to leave after having sat there for about fifteen minutes without ever having seen a server. That&#039s where Rally&#039s came in. I pretty much spent all of yesterday playing Katamari Damacy (and really hurting my thumbs in the process) before switching to Magic Pengel all evening. I woke up this morning to find that Ian had fallen asleep on the couch with Magic Pengel still going. He had been playing Doom 30 or something until I went to bed whereupon he left for the living room to make noise elsewhere.

As for today so far, I&#039ve had a shower which smelled funny because I ran out of my shampoo so I used Ian&#039s Head and Shoulders but with my fruity Herbal Essences conditioner so my hair smells odd. I didn&#039t have to teach my Univ 101 class today because I had a guest speaker come in and talk about food and exercise. I need to lose weight. I feel like an ox. Other than that and self-loathing, I finished typing up notes for my ISU site (which I already mentioned &#039cause I jump around too much) and am getting ready to go to lunch with everyone because last week was Susan and Cynthia&#039s birthdays. Next week is spring break. Guess who&#039s excited about that? Soooo, I&#039m hoping we get the clock fixed here in the office because I keep looking up and getting confused as to what time it is. Damn batteries.

    Yeah I know where you are coming from. I'm kind of glad Jamie is going to be gone this weekend, gives me a chance to do a great many things I absolutely needed to do three weeks ago.

    Erin: are you sure about the wisdom of putting a link to your personal home page on a site that you send your students to…??

    They're not my students, they're my classmates. My students couldn't figure out my linguistics classes if it were surgically added to their heads (predominately because none of them are interested). The sapphire site is for my classmates who either don't like taking notes or can't take notes fast enough. Since I consider most of them to be friends, then sure I'm fine with it.
