Joanne added up two meme’s and being that I’m working with an artist’s math skillz over here, I’m not gonna mess with the 14 Random/Weird/Quirky Things list.

  1. I, for the most part, stopped biting my nails (once Lily came) - but if I get stressed enough, I can tear them all off in minutes.
  2. I know how MP3 compression really works.
  3. I am shy.
  4. I am the only person on the block to take out the trash the night before.
  5. I constantly monitor the local and east-coast weather.
  6. I won a Pinewood Derby once.
  7. My father was the Cub Master. But I quit because I didn’t like the word “god” in their motto.
  8. I would rather use a trackpad (only on a MacBook) on a desktop computer than a mouse.
  9. I sometimes miss working at DC101.
  10. I rarely floss.
  11. I wouldn’t mind retiring as an elementary school teacher.
  12. My ears hurt sometimes after listening to over compressed radio for long periods of time.
  13. I like the sound of CDs equally to that of vinyl.
  14. I like my parents, a lot.

I last restarted The Acorn (my MacBook) 10 days 22 hours and 58 minutes ago.

When was the last time you restarted?

But on a side note (and to lift the spirits of kids still on the Windows OS), I just found this Robert Smith quote that couldn’t be more true to life:

“If Morrissey told me not to eat meat, then I would eat meat, because I hate Morrissey.”

We’ve (maybe a little more of me) been pretty stressed out lately. There’s a crap load still left to do (mainly with tuning the room and aesthetics) and we are meeting with clients and we have more and more obligations with the Studio. It’s happening and it’s real and the phone is ringing and it’s exciting and scary and all of the above. But I think we needed a break from it all.

Today, Emily had the awesome idea of playing hookie like we used to do when we worked for The Man. So we drove up 95 to Gunpowder State Park. It was purty. We all got a little sun and are now thinking of having Lily’s 1st birthday there.
