Two more minutes! I just needed two more minutes! I went to the pool tonight, and after leaving early enough to be really early, traffic was very slow and I didn’t get in the water until about 5:37. If I’d been in by 5:35, I could have done 4000 yards. Instead, I only managed 3900, and I hauled *ass* through a 1000 yard sprint; did it in about 17 minutes. Ok, that’s not *really* hauling ass, but it was pretty good. And it was my last 1000, so that’s even…

it’s *amazing*
It’s amazing how stylesheets work so much better when you don’t fuck up the call-line. I’ve been trying to figure out for over a week why this site I was working on wasn’t reading the stylesheets right, and finally I see that it’s got an extra / in front of the call-line. Sigh. Amazingly, it works now. Which means all I have to do is go through the stylesheets and fix the colors and the site will be about 95% done. Which is good, because it’s supposed to launch Thursday…
weekend
Well! Sunday we went over to Melissa and Pat’s for a very good lunch which lasted from 1pm til 5:45pm. :) And talked and ate and played with their cat and ate some more and it was lots of fun! (The cat photos are here, Melissa.) Then I came home and fussed with the Gambit site some more and Ted went to a movie and goodness, that’s not a very exciting weekend update, is it? That’s okay, you’ll have to cope with it, because I’m hungry and I need to…
competency issues
It’s really very annoying to be competent at something and to have someone on hand all the time who is /good/, to your competency. Salieri to Mozart. Er, to take it to an overblown level. My friend Kent has a really, really good eye for web design. I have a decent eye for it. I’m working on House of Cards, the Gambit site I was threatening to put up, and Kent looked at it, and to my delight, really liked the basic design. Then he got picky about the nav…
small successes
I finished reading the Gambit comic book series. It was actually pretty decent, overall. They finally explained some stuff, which was good, and they did sufficient Cool Stuff with Gambit’s powers over the course of the story that I’m tempted to bring the comics along to California to make Sarah read them … except reading is all anti-social, and there will be lots of socializing to do. :) Small successes: I managed to get signed up for the beginning drawing class. First class is Tuesday night.
