Games and computers and... I *still* haven't done my taxes

Last night I got to play Blokus for the first time (and 2nd and 3rd times). It turns out to be a great game, fast-paced and nonverbal and pretty.

Continuing to work through The Elements of Computing Systems, today I got a simulated CPU working, starting from a previously built ALU, two registers and a program counter. Zowie. And I did laundry too. Sometimes I think I'm okay, you know?

My nerdiness centers me and gives me feelings of accomplishment, just like fitness stuff does (which reminds me: today I climbed up on the squat rack, pretended I was a bar and let a girl overhead-press me. I did keep my hands on the squat rack for stability, but it must've been quite a sight! She wants to bench-press me next. New goal: to get the two of us kicked out together.) I just tend not to post about it, because the feelings of satisfaction are so hard to convey in words and pretty pictures are impossible.

oh yeah. you'd be in awe of her, and vice versa! she's about 5'11" and pure force-of-nature big and strong. being in the gym with her is like sharing it with a giant ball of lightning.

hah, i wondered from this description if it was [livejournal.com profile] water_childe, who kinda meets that description. but this morning when i asked her about it she said "no, but i know who that was! i want her to bench press me too!" :)

haha -- not surprised. this girl is hard to miss. tell [livejournal.com profile] water_childe that if she ever wants to say hi to me I'm the blonde in the free weights section who sometimes hangs out with Miss Ball of Lightning.

no, I was just impersonating a bar. she held me up on her hands and pressed me up and down over her head.
