doing things

This morning, like every other day this week, I woke up and worked out. I’ve only been doing full workouts three days a week but I’m getting up every morning and doing at least ten minutes of stuff on Wii Fit Plus, which is way better than the original.

I have only missed one day of class this semester. I actually am keeping up with the work this time. I’ve been loving my poetry thesis class. I’ve been writing a lot of fiction. School is fun again. I wrote a paper about Coleridge, opium, and China. I’ve been thinking so much about game design.

This morning, Dan and I went to my doctors appointment and then to a pet store where I bought (after much deliberation) a flock of finches. I named them all after characters from the Arthur mythos: Lady of the Lake, Merlin (which was the name of the bird in Heavy Rain), Galahad, Gawain, and Mordred. I ended up spending a lot less on them than I expected.

Yesterday I went to the Wireside Chat that Lessig had. It was pretty awesome that so many people around the world could watch it. Right now I’m on my way downtown to go to the skeptic’s group on campus. Tonight Dan and I are having people over to play video games and board games.

I’m tired. I miss Dustin, that’s for sure, but being in such a better mood constantly is amazing. Woo.
