don't you hate it when you burn your tongue on hot tea and it's numb and icky for hours or days afterward? :P

This one chick from match.com has been emailing me back and forth for a bit now. She seems pretty cool. I guess it's time to think about taking the next step, i.e., meeting IRL? Ack. Shyness kicking in. Initiate defensive maneuvers...

My brother swears I'll have the TiVo box by end of this week. I figure as long as I've got it up and running and figured out by the next new Buffy episode, that'll be cool. And that gives me at least another two weeks. (Snif! Reruns suck...) I'm a little worried that TiVo will get me watching even more TV than I already do. Over the holidays I was all, "hey, I don't really watch all that much TV," but now that stuff is coming back from reruns, I'm realizing that yeah, I kind of do. And, like, half the shows I want to watch are on Tuesday night. Same night as chorus rehearsals. Argh...
(lj does links, so check out the website for my chorus. I'm also the co-webmistress.)

Lately, Bini has been more playful than usual. I think he likes having a box that's just the right size for him. He's a big kitty (fat ... I'm not ashamed to say it! My cat is fat!) and his old box was a little confining. In his new one he'll play with a milk-bottle tie or his catnip toys and seems to have a blast. I'm happy about that. If only he would exercise more and lose some weight.

Speaking of which ... skipped the gym last Friday. Bad Joan! But my arm was all sore from the tetanus shot *whine*. I won't skip again. I promise. Maybe.

The plans for Japan are moving along. My mom wants to spend a couple of extra days and go to a city other than Tokyo after the official tour ends ... then she wants to spend a bunch of days in Hawaii. It sounds like a lot of fun, but it also adds up to thirteen work-days (assuming we get Xmas Day off but not Xmas Eve Day). So I gotta make sure I'll have that much time saved up. A lot can happen between now and then though; heck, I could have a new job by December. I sure hope so, anyway.

Laura sent me her Linux disks so now I have to pine for a spare machine to install it on. I could buy a new box and put the Linux on the old one. But I want a Mac G4 too. Wah!

More later.
