flexagonWhee, I have made a new icon. The blonde was starting to look a little insipid to me... or at least not remotely indicative of how much I've been geeking out lately. And that can only be described as a lot, between being in the final review stages of my Java certification test (go ahead, ask me which primitive variable types a switch statement can legally use, and why, or the details of anonymous class declarations. I grow fearless in my geekitude) and my continuing nesting. I've literally been lying awake at night trying to figure out a kitchen layout that will work and can be achieved without major plumbing overhaul, a task more comparable to solving a Rubik's Cube than you might think. And I bought the Taunton's Home Storage Idea Book, which has me drooling. In short, it's more than possible that nobody but me wants to really be inside my head right now. So I've been sharing less than you may think. :)
This weekend's been awesome. On Friday I worked a little late, but then got to meet the other players in HLM's latest string quartet for chamber music at the college... none of his chamber groups have ever done anything social with SOs invited, so I enjoyed that. It'll be that much more fun to watch them play now that I know a few things about them. We met in a pub in the Stata Center, and whoa... it took me forever to find the pub, but I felt (rather pleasantly) trapped in a Dr. Seuss-style castle while I looked. It has all the leaning towers, and curving walkways across 3-story drops, and surprising views through weird bits of the building, that anyone could ask for. Much cooler from the inside than the outside, say I, but neat anyway. Now to just avoid being in there when a fire alarm goes off.
Yesterday I cleaned and studied Java for most of the day, then went to HLM's orchestra concert with AJ and our downstairs neighbor. We got there really early and had a nice time shooshing around in the fallen and falling leaves on the BU campus. We had an especially cool moment when a tree was blowing yellow leaves right at us, and I laughed in delight just before one plastered me right between the eyes, and that just made me laugh harder... hmm, I love autumn. :) I also slunk back to tae kwon do, which was utterly anticlimactic (teacher: has it been a month already? okay.). And I had some fairly sexy sex in the new bathroom, proving that grab bars in the shower area are good for more than just safety/retail. They're also good for holding onto while one's partner is doing disorienting things to you from behind. Fun... and even more fun to remember later when that same partner is in a tux onstage and being all formal.
Which reminds me, why I haven't been talking about sex all that much lately. First off, I've been geeking out wildly as outlined above, and am far more likely to be pondering why a shallow refrigerator could be easier to organise than thinking up sexy things to do. But more importantly, sex in my life is something pretty steady and pretty good. It just happens... most often with my husband, in the bed, following a semi-set formula. What can I say? I'm married, happy and boring. So you can expect a mention of the topic when I'm actually thinking about it, but that may not be as much this year as some years. The topic just doesn't nag at my brain like it used to.
And now, today's the last full day I have to study Java before the test (*gulp*), and I'm supposed to be working out twice, and I also want to organize my socks (not kidding, I've been wanting to do it all week). At least I have an extra hour today to do it in. Thank you, Daylight Saving Time.
