my hero

tonight's posting is brought to you from the comfort of my couch, where i now, once again, have wireless internet! real wireless internet! my own wireless internet! i used to have this, but then about two months ago it randomly disappeared in the midst of a whole slew of wireless internet problems, and i tried to bother friends to come and fix it and they said they would, but i did not bother persistently enough b/c i am a pansy who feels bad about asking for things (tho not bad about whining about them) and so no one came to fix it, but tonight, finally, swartz came and fixed it! yay! less you think he put me off for months, he had only said he would do it about last week, and then with the break and all, this was no delay at all and i am a very happy girl. i now have wireless internet just in time for finals, so that i can simultaneously surf the internet and watch tv to avoid studying! the real tragedy of this is that while i was tethered to the internet cable, the tv held no sway over me and i had even molded the chair in my den to perfectly fit my own ass and it was really going to be lovely.

but you can't really frown on having your own "very good" wireless internet signal and i am a very happy girl! so yay for swartz and his infinite computer savvy!!

but other good things have happened today.

the first is that derek leach has just recently gotten engaged to his long-time girlfriend allison and i just think that is worth sharing. because who does not love derek leach and wish him a lifetime of happiness? well, no one. and if you do not love derek leach and wish him a lifetime of happiness, well you suck and i would appreciate it if you would quit reading my blog.

and when i went by his office to tell him congrats, there was some boy in there with the world's largest laptop ever and i started rooting thru my bag for a tissue, but i did not have one, and he said that he had one, and then gave me his whole travel packet of tissues! if that isn't the sweetest thing ever! it is that kind of kindness that comes back to you in the future, so if you see someone with the world's largest laptop and like 4 fans on its underside, well do something nice for him, b/c he is good people and he deserves it.

and since that does not seem like enough good things in a day, i had a lovely meal at the flaming wok with molly and rob and jen and spott and i tell you, that fried rice is some kind of tasty delicious! i recommend it highly. also, the shrimp.

oh, and then there was how peppy my "two step touch" combo has gotten in cardio sculpt. that brings joy to everyone. seriously. you should ask to see it. if lexi is around, you should ask to see us do it together. if you and your friends are all around, you should ask lexi and i to lead the entire half hour sequence. i'm sure we'll have plenty of time, what with avoiding our outlines and all.
