a perfect storm

Anybody who’s stood around in the amazing silence and whiteness of a snowstorm knows that there’s always a little perfection in one. But this weekend’s storm really was a perfect storm. That’s so cool. :)

ai!

Spooky! I went to the silly name generator that Angie has linked on her page (sorry, don’t have the URL in my browser anymore) and I was putting in various names, and I put in Kit’s full name, sans middle name, and, startlingly, it fed me back a silly name with Kit’s actual middle name in it! Sub Captain of Sticking Your Head and Arms Out the Window, Darth Katherine Marie Ellis! Spooky! None of the ones with my actual name were nearly as entertaining, so nevermind. :)

purple baby birds!

Purple baby birds! I’m all excited about this because I just read Last Chance to See recently, and the kakapo is one of the birds that Douglas Adams and his co-author whose name is escaping me at the moment (Mark something) went to see. :)

belle

According to the Disney Princess Test, I’m Belle. This pleases me. :)

yay me!

yay me! I signed up for beginning guitar classes with the Anchorage Community Schools activities and classes thing. Yay me! Also I went to the gym this morning, and I can now say with authority that it is *not* faster to walk home from NL/Minnesota than it is to wait for the bus. At least not in winter. It probably would be in summer. I have to get up earlier so I have more time for a better and longer workout. Yus.
