Not much has been happening here these last few days as far as big events go. So I thought I'd post about some of the more personal things that have been going on.

I guess the first thing that's been happening to me is geek envy. For those of you who don't know what geek envy is, it's the jealousy of techie toys that all geeks perpetually have and aspire to incite in other geeks. My perpetual geek envy was somewhat sated by my new phone. But I haven't had time to spice it up and get it to the point where it inspires envy in others. Maybe I'll do that today. But what I'm geeking for now is the Zire 72 that I've been looking at ever since Kate mentioned she wanted one. Don't you hate it the way people can mention something and then you become obsessed with it? I bet that's how females and shopping work, but I digress. I saw someone with a Zire the other day and he just looked cool with it. And every time that I see something or think of something I want to remember, it hits me that if I had one of those things I'd be able to recored it or store it or take a picture of it. But as I have said before on this blog I don't think I have the money for it. I'm supposed to be saving for SCA boots. Enough about that, I need to stop obsessing about it or I might break down and buy one.....which I will regret later....unless it helps me manage my money....hmmm...NO! Must stop!

Kate and I decided to watch the first Sex And The City to see what the fuss was about. It's actually pretty funny and cool in it's own way. It's about this girl who writes a column about sex. The content of the column is derived from the experiences of herself and her friends. It's told with her narrating the show like it is her column. The show does some pretty good character studies on different aspects of sex lives. In just the first disc which I think was half the first season she's covered marriage, flings, secret sex, dating people younger than you, and one night stands. It's pretty cute and amusing and very smart I should say. But after three episodes it gets kind of old. We'll probably stick to just two per night in the future.

Kate has been pretty busy lately with school. She's spent a lot of time studying and working at the tutoring center. I'm really proud of her work ethic. And this morning she came in early to work after taking a really hard test. She was all bouncy because she had gotten a 100. I guess it was a really hard test. I wanted to jump on her and hug her and tickle her and kiss her etc. But I couldn't because I was at work and I don't want to do 'anything' that might jeopordize my status here. I hope she understands that. I am really proud of her. And I hope that she's happy with what she's doing this semester. But last night David IM'd her and just gave her this huge guilt trip for not hanging out with him very much. It did really piss me off that he's projecting his neediness on to her. It's not like she is avoiding him or anything. She's just doing what she needs to do to have a good semester. He acted like she is his only source of friendship and socialization. If that statement is true then that is the problem he needs to be concentrating on, not the fact that Kate is busy. Kate is nice enough that she will feel guilty when he does his needy child routine. End rant.

This weekend is turning out to be interesting. They canceled Turning Leaves because the ground is going to be soggy. Stupid hurricanes! But I guess I can't complain. And now for some reason I really don't want to go to Chalice. I don't know why, I kinda want to relax. But I need to get another fencing fix soon. I really really have been wanting to go full speed with someone. Something I can't really do around here very much. I am def going to Kingdom Crusades this year! This weekend we might go to Charlotesville for the hell of it and meet Adam and Gianetta for dinner. I don't know yet, we'll see.

The other thing that has been going on in my life is polotics. The internet is a wonderful thing in that it lets me feel like my opinion actually matters. I've been posting pretty regularly on Fedora and I've picked up a few readers. One of them even left a comment yesterday.

That's all for now. I hope that was interesting.
