Ahh, I just woke up, and apparently, my injuries are of the sort where it's better the next morning, instead of worse. I wonder what the deciding factor in these things is. My knee is mostly recovered -- walking pinches a bit, but I can walk normally, and in general I'm just a bit sore. This is good -- I'm not going to push it by rock climbing tonight, but I should be pretty much ok, I think.
I forgot to mail my rent. I probably should drive out there this morning before work. Sometimes I can be so forgetful. Oy.
Yesterday was definitely a day of beautiful people, at least for me. I saw the really cute girl who works at the milk-kosher place in town run by while I was waiting for the bus, and .. well, some obvious other sources of cuteness. Later in the day, I heard back from K, and we chatted about different ways men and women tend to approach relationships, and how different things tend to attract both genders. I made a point that there are actually a lot of people who don't fit these moulds, and that in many areas of the concept, some people really see things a lot differently (furries?) than others. The terms 'visually oriented' and 'not-visually oriented' were tossed around, as well as the meaning of sex in relationships and friendships, and all that. These quantities are never binary -- there's always a scale of importance of various characteristics that people assign to partners.
I'm placing my next Amazon.com order now.. a new Chumbawamba CD came out that I'd like to have, called "Un" (you can download a medley of the songs from their site, if you can brave the poor navigation possible). Na klar, I'm getting a few other items from my Amazon wishlist as well. In case you're interested, here's the whole order:
- Un - Chumbawamba
- Essential Works of Lenin - Lenin
- Happiness of the Katakuris
- The Revolution Betrayed - Leon Trotsky
I hope the Lenin/Trotsky translations are good -- unlike with Nietzsche (which I can read in German anyhow), Sartre, and other well-know authors, my choices of translations was pretty limited, and I'm by no means even remotely close to being up to reading Lenin or Trotsky in Russian. I could possibly, very slowly, sound out the words, but that's pretty much it :)
I think that when I tweak my BLOG to move to using a Wiki-type syntax, I'm going to extend the message/comment table to add a boolean new-style and old-style column, so I don't break old entries. Here's the syntax summary which I'll need to implement.
Much as I hate to do it at this time, I'm going to head out to Timbuktu this morning to pay my rent so my landlord won't need to call and nag me (if I mail it, he almost certainly will, and rightly so).
