Just started Aikido as of last night… it is so cool! All I want to do is practice my Ukemi… the tumbling, rolling stuff that helps your Nage practice. Very cool!

It’s hard to learn how to surf in Central Texas, y’all. ( =

Here’s my recommended reading list:

Neal Stephenson – Snow Crash, Diamond Age
William Gibson – Neuromancer, Pattern Recognition… almost anything
Bruce Sterling – Schismatrix set
Pat Caddigan – almost anything
Richard Morgan – Market Forces, Broken Angels
Ken MacLeod – The Star Fraction
Phillip Jose Farmer – Riverworld

After all the hullabaloo (and, c’mon, you have to know by now that movies are never as good as the books) this movie was very worth it. The casting was great, the comedic timing was excellent, the actors were obviously giving a lot to the camera…

Go see it!

Totally worth it. Now I can stream my iTunes to the living room since my Mini is going to be a media computer. Sweet. ( =

...but never anything truly deep. Just the little stuff I encounter that really interests me, or the rants that fly around in my brain clamoring to get out.

Maybe just more “deep” entries.

If nothing else, you need to hear of the fate of poor Agrajag.

Even if you think it’s a “crap” or “cheesy” song, it is a song that you made. Learn from it. Figure out what you could have done better. Then (the hard part) love it. Let it go. Start another. Eventually, you’ll be good at it.

A co-worker steered me towards this website: http://www.kamous.com/translator/s.asp?l=1601

They have animated lesson plans that she says are great.

...it just takes “work”. It’s not really “work” because it is so worth it once you’re there.

I know, I know… the key is to find one that’s interesting and that needs help and see where they need it and help them.

But I somehow never find the time… does that mean I don’t really want to do this?

Especially when you need to get those thoughts out at the lightning-quick speed that they hit you at.

...and I’ll probably get at least a couple more.

I’m pretty sure I’ve learned the ins and outs… feel free to ask me about it… if I don’t know then I’ll find out and then my cluefulness has only gone up!

So I’ve quit smoking and I’m having no problems staying off… but I need to cook more, eat healthier, and exercise at least a little.
