Weekend Update and Random stuff

angelakI guess it’s been a few days since I sat down and actually wrote some LJ stuff. So here it goes. Work has been pretty busy off and on. I’ve been doing my usual thing. Woop dee. I know, I should be more enthusiastic. But it’s hard sometimes.
I know if I were anywhere else I’d probably miss it here a great deal… bittersweet, you know.
I try not to think about landlord drama. That keeps me happy.
I also try and run as often as I can without inducing over-use injuries. :)
My latest accomplishment is that I have extended my distance last week. My new benchmark location to run to is Taco Time, moving outwards about a tenth of mile (making 2 tenths longer of a route round trip.) I have yet to decide if I want to stick with this for 2 weeks, or longer. But I know I’ll stick with it for at least 2 more weeks.
I have run that route several times now. It is becoming my new commonplace. I increased the distance and decided to walk less if at all possible on the longer route. If I eat well, it works fine. If I don’t eat good food or have poor timing as for the actual run – I run out of steam. For the first time in my life I *know* what it feels like when you eat the right things, or not.
I hear Ubuntu 7.10 is being released in 2 days. I am stoked and plan on putting it on my laptop. And perhaps ditching Windows XP to a Virtual Machine on Linux for my Windows needs. We’ll see, it’s on the agenda for late this week if I can get my hands on Ubuntu.
I’ve been logging on IRC lately to spark some old inspiration technologically. It reminds me of where I started and why I’m even here. In this field. I realize I need to get out there and motivate myself and not just sit and let things sit stagnant around me. I need to be refreshed. I need challenge and if my position doesn’t do it, I have to find it somehow.
So, work has been pretty busy in spite of my poor attitude. That’s fine.
So on Oct 18th, I’m hitting the intarwebs. Gutsy Gibbon needs to be on my machine. It does!!!!
So I drifted off to sleep thinking about Ubuntu last night.
The weekend was pretty eventful and uneventful at once. I could have gone to parties, but I stayed home. Jim had drill… so I didn’t drive to Portland :(
I didn’t go to Gaia Consort or pretty much any event I could have gone to. But I ran all weekend and I got some serious good down time.
!!! I did see my grandparents and found my Halloween costume. That rocked.
Anyway. I better post this before it becomes a half written LJ post like the others I wrote in the last week!!!!

:)
Least ways that is what I've heard/interpreted.
