Today I held a slightly split handstand against the wall for 2 minutes. That's a new record, breaking yesterday's new record of 1:45. 30 more seconds and I might actually catch up to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nevers on this one. :)
I bought round-nose pliers so that I could turn the pieces of a very old, expensive, smashed-up pair of earrings into a new, smaller pair. It was surprisingly easy. The jasper and gold beads were just fine once I got them off the crumpled old wire. And I am now feeling oddly empowered, realizing that I might also be able to replace my favorite pearl earrings, one of which I lost a few weeks ago, for just the cost of a couple of pearls and some wire...
Hey, I even just figured out how to implement OR using only NAND gates. How many computer science freshmen have sat on the couch glaring at the same problem? I'm reinventing the wheel like crazy this weekend. I should be annoyed as hell, but I have two pairs of new earrings that probably are unique even if the skills I used to make them aren't.
