Blast from the Past
|
Then I thought waaaaay back to 2001 and remembered that I was teaching Winter Guard at Shen at that time, so I Googled Shen Winter Guard and came up with only a few listings. The first was for the Shen Novice Winter Guard Home Page that I set up that year. Awwwwwww. Unfortunately, it wasn’t actually archived on the Internet Archive, so I couldn’t view it - which would have been interesting. I’m wracking my brains to try and remember what that site would have looked like… It was one of the first sites I ever did so I’m sure it wasn’t all that wondrous (not that this one is…). I think that I just went with something simple like Green and White. Awwww. That was so long ago. My little novice girlies are all grown up now - the girls that I taught my first year have probably graduated from college by now. Wow. I’m old…
Crap…
…I’m gonna be hungover tomorrow. 2 people shouldnot equal 2 bottles of wine at dinner…

I was bored tonight while I was waiting for my iPhone to restore after I upgraded it to the 2.1 firmware and then jailbroke it (using the Pwnage tool), so I started poking around Hulu. I knew that there were clips from SNL on there, but I thought that they were all newer clips and didn’t realize that they had some older ones up there. I stumbled upon an old Celebrity Jeopardy clip and laughed until I cried. I remember listening to these with Eric and Ryan and Beck. Eric used to talk just like Will Ferrell’s impression of Alec Trebeck all the time - it’s really catchy. That was around the time that Beck and I went on our Ghetto Fabulous Trip to Europe… we ran around Edinburgh doing Sean Connery from Celebrity Jeopardy Impressions (”Then the day is mine!”) for days before we realized that it was probably really obnoxious to the Scotts… But we continued to do it anyway. 
Good times…

I’m having one of those “can’t sleep” kind of nights. Alex went to bed hours ago but I’m still up, wide awake. It’s a good thing tomorrow is a day off.
I got so bored tonight that I randomly watched an episode from the first season of Felicity. I don’t know how I got to searching for that show on YouTube but somehow I found it. I loved that show when it first started. I can remember watching it in my room at home while my sister watched in hers. When a commercial would come on, I’d run into her room and yell “Noel, Noel, Noel!” and she’d shout back “Ben, Ben, Ben!”. I still stand by my choice - Noel was the much better guy, even if she did end up with Ben in the end.
Watching that show tonight made me a little wistful. It reminded me of a time when I didn’t have to worry about rent and bills and work. A time when my sister and I could hang out any night of the week - because our rooms were next door to another. A time when there was still such a thing as summers off and lazy weekends.
I didn’t get carried away with that, though. It also made me weirdly anxious. Sure, I didn’t have “real life grown up worries” yet, but everything else seemed so dramatic and difficult. Thinking back to the way I interacted with other people during that time in my life makes me so glad that I don’t have to repeat those years. I’ll take the rent and bills and work worries and the working summers and busy weekends over that constant feeling of uncertainty anytime.
Feeling that way for a few seconds again as I remember the way it was 10 years ago (omg I’m old) is enough to make me appreciate the very settled way that I feel. Even though there are still things that are far from certain in my life, I have one very important thing that I am very certain about and that makes everything else easier to handle.
Now, if only he’d stop hogging the blankets so I can get comfy and finally go to sleep tonight…
Crappy few days on the health front.
It started with drinks at aperitivo after work on Friday. Limoncello martinis and thin crust margherita pizza. Then it was dinner out late on Saturday. Strawberry martini, wings, bread, butter, clam chowder, steak, baked potato, and buttery green beans. Then I locked myself out of my house yesterday and succomed to McDonald’s. 10 piece chicken mcnuggets, large fry, and a large orange drink. Then I just got really bad and had probably 4 oz of cashews and 3 mini dove chocolate ice cream bites that night. Today, I continued my bad eating with a chicken ceasar wrap, onion rings and a Guinness at lunch followed by a bag of cracker jacks as a snack. I SUCK!!
I did track everything in Gyminee, so at least I’m being honest with myself. Oh. And I excersized at least a half an hour each day. And right now I’m in the treadmill at my gym posting from my iPhone while I watch The Bourne Identity in the Cardio Theater. How’s that for multitasking? ;). I’ll get better. I’ll be successful and lose weight. I just need to be persistent and keep my goals in mind. I can do eet!
As an aside, I’m totally randomly wickedly excited that The Bourne Identity is on. Apparently I love this movie. Oh, and Matt Damon is really hot.
Of Course
Alex is out on a case and I tried and leave the apartment for the first time today and I freaking locked myself out. And my landlord wasn’t home. I ended up calling my inlaws to come since I think they have a key to our place and waited for a bit at mcdonalds (and ate some gross fattening food because I was starving). When they called to say they were on their way, I walked back to the apartment to meet Alex’s parents - only to find that my landlord had gotten home. I called Patty backto tell them they didn’t have to come bit they were already on their way. We reasoned that we could verify their key worked when they got here. I figured that I’d get my landlord to let me in in the meantime, but just as I went to knock on his door he answered the phone. So I sat on the front stoop waiting for Patty and Keene to arrive all the while feeling like a dumbass listening to my landlord’s side of a conversation and cursing at myself for forgetting my keys and eating gross mcdonalds food. I’m in the house now. It’s the purple key on Patty’s keyring. I feel like I should go for a walk to try and burn off some of the mcdonalds but I’m afraid to push my luck.

I woke up this morning wishing it was Saturday. All I want to do today is geek out at home. I want to create a database of all of my movies and books that I can access from my iPhone so that I know what we already own when I’m at Barnes and Noble. I want to finish transferring all my home movies to digital copies and back them up/make them accessible online. I want to finish creating our Wedding Album (finally, over a year later). I want to organize my iTunes and iPhoto libraries.
But, alas. I’m at work.
