Saturday

It's good.

So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear

'cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

Tired; can't sleep.

Isn't it funny how that happens? I'm stressed/worried about a few things, but I'm sure I can knock out at least a couple things tomorrow.

At least I'm not in bed alone!

11 days.

Win.

Healing like a boss. Last appointment with my orthopedic surgeon tomorrow!

Technology

Test entry from the blogger app on my mobile device. Also, if just like to point out* that Swype keyboard technology is so awesome. I can't believe how much faster it makes typing...and you don't have to stab at the touchscreen!

Whew.

I took a moment to review my words, and realized that ten years ago I might have chuckled, shook my head, or flat out laughed at the paragraph above. Not quite up there with hoverboard-grade technology of the far future, but...as I sit here and look at my "phone" as objectively as possible, I can't believe this is where we are. Not that I paid for it (yay new contract deals!), but this "phone" costs more - and can flat out do more - than many computers!

Anyway, this test bedblog adventure turned into a somewhat overwhelmed reflection on the state of...well, things that are very minor. It's time to sleep...

Sweet dreams!

*no pun intended (bahahahaha)

Happy NHL Playoffs, everyone!

Well, hello!

Looks like it's been...over a year. Wow. I've gotten back to writing in a journal which is nice because I'm such a tactile person, but I do miss blogging. I checked out some other platforms, didn't really care particularly for any of them, and got into tumblr...it's great, but tumblr is more suited for sharing, and in my opinion doesn't have enough capabilities or structure to be a real web log, but I came back to blogger and am encouraged by their new layout. So...here we go.

This is my test post. The interface is similar to gmail, which is familiar (and comfortable). Plus, I REALLY like my whale of an island layout, so cuteness was a factor in my giving this another go. I mean...obviously.

I'm feeling content in this moment. I have a ton of stuff to do before graduating in two (!) weeks, but I'm finding solace in the wake of a solid job offer from my first choice company and in front of the TV watching playoff hockey: Game 3 of the Penguins playing at the Flyers (this game, by the by, is the most exciting - and brutal - of any playoff games I've ever seen.

Okay, everyone is getting kicked off the ice. If it weren't my co-favorite hockey team (my favorite team in the playoffs) getting their asses kicked all over the ice, I'd actually find this all to be very entertaining...but I'm cringing. I mean, there are patches of blood on the ice for crying out loud! 3 minutes left in the 3rd, score is 8 to 4 in favor of Filthadelphia...we're down in the series 3-0. They've had 4 powerplay goals and 1 short handed goal. Ugh. Anyway, that means we have to win ALL of the remaining games in this playoff round in order to move on to the next round. In the history of the NHL, there have only been three comebacks from a 0-3 deficit: 2010, 1975, and 1942. Maybe, just maybe, it will happen a fourth time in 2012...

Sigh. Neither here nor there...this has been an exciting series all around.

In other news, I've never so enthusiastically immersed myself in ennui:

Also, I'd like to declare that Sprite tastes like neither lemon nor lime.

Okay, it's over. Philadelphia Flyers: 8, Pittsburgh Penguins: 4. Yikes.

It's great to be back.
