I'm trying to decide whether I love or hate Twitter. I posted 5 updates to it today. It's like small, concentrated doses of blog crack. And it's inane shit too, like, "I'm eating a big rice krispy treat." People can get my updates about irrelevant shit sent to their cell phones or IM. It's... terrifying.

I wish their badges to put on Myspace or websites...

I got back from QuakeCon last night at 1AM instead of the scheduled 9:30PM. Fucking United Airlines. The event was so much fun it hurt. I called into work sick today and slept most of the day trying to recover. It was fantastic to attend a PC pro event and meet a lot of the pro gamers I knew only online or by reputation. It...

Oh. My. God. I hate waxing. It's a special form of torture that's made even worse because it's voluntary. And it costs money. I wish I could just tell my hair where I want it to NOT grow, and where I wish more of it would grow. Does it listen? noooooo

Busy day so far!

I flew home from E3, worked in the office for a few hours, came home and had my first ever casual sex, went shopping for groceries, took a nap, and recovered my 2 runaway house cats who had punched out a window screen to escape.

I thought the sex made it a big day, but the cats escaping completely trumps that....

God damn it. I went back to yoga class yesterday after a 2-week hiatus because I wasn't feeling well, only to find one of the hottest guys I've ever seen in the class. Oh, and he's leaving back to Paris next week and I look terrible during yoga because my face turns really red.

Why do I like boys from other continents? It's like I've...

I didn't realize Pride was this weekend. Imagine my surprise when I came out of the BART station to meet my friend for a trip to Ocean Beach, and I found a parade instead. A parade with a couple 100% naked dudes. :o Pride, indeed. Pretty fun stuff.

For someone with virtually no real cooking experience to speak of I'm really impressing myself with my progress. I'm already learning how to think "hmm, maybe... and improvise. Please allow me to boast of my recent meals.

* seared ahi tuna steak with jasmine rice and steamed asparagus
* chocolate chip cookies
* blueberry muffins
* oatmeal with honey and strawberries
* wok-cooked chicken, tomatoes,...

Time to blog... I have been remiss about recounting my latest adventures.

My apartment is mostly settled in. I have no couch and no bed frame, but I have a sumo bag (kind of a cousin to bean bag chairs) and a mattress. It will serve me well enough for now. My TV is off the floor and so are my books. As long as...

Brief update, because I find myself procrastinating on really writing. I guess it's easier to write about bad things than good.

• I love my skateboard, even though I currently can't ride it and have ice on my achilles tendon to allay the soreness. Bummmmer. I may need to get a Razor scooter to commute for a week or two until I feel healed up enough...

My truce with my ex may be coming to an end. He was quite nice about helping me pick up some furniture yesterday and he deserves credit for that, but I don't think he's quite ready to deal with a me who doesn't feel obligated to cave in to keep the peace.

I went to pick up stuff for my kitties today, the basics: litter,...

In the last week I've learned to skateboard, assembled bookshelves all by myself, and bought my first vibrator. Is this what being single and living on your own does to a person? I love it!

Remarkable. I've embarked on a new trend of actually enjoying non-fiction, and I think I've figured out why some people read it! To learn things. I've long fancied myself a fan of learning things, but at the moment I'm at a loss about what I've been learning, because I can't think of anything. However, based on my recent adventure into this new section of the...
