Well I have been quite for a little bit. Time to fix that.
This weekend I joined a gym. I got a flier in the mail that offered and $8/month membership. While that may be true, they neglect to mention that there is a large membership fee up front. In the end I signed up for a six month stint. Today was my first day to go work out. I thought I was doing good. I was there for about 1.5 hours and had loosened up quite a bit. However, when I got off the last machine I could barely walk. A shower and a change of clothes later, I'm still sweating, but feeling pretty good.
The party at the Magic Time Machine was a lot of fun. We had the Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride as our waiter. I earned the dubious title of "Monarch" by sitting at the foot of the table and practicing my 'princess' wave. I think everyone had a good time.
This Friday I'm signed up to take the Java Programmers' Exam for the second time. The last time I took it I missed it by one question. I was really upset and haven't been able to motivate myself to study. So now I have the motivation and I'm going to ace this test. Or at least not have to spend any more money to take that dang thing again. At $150 a pop, you don't want to screw it up.
This morning I had a really weird dream. I don't remember exact details, but I know it goes something along the lines of this: I was trying to outsmart my alarm clock and let me sleep for another 30 minutes. From somewhere in the back of my head I heard a voice saying, "This is childish. You have to get up and go to your meeting this morning." I was so surprised I immediately woke up. Now I always knew I was odd, but I don't remember ever talking to myself in a dream before.
No word back from the interview I had last week. I need to follow up with them. That's a position I really think I would enjoy.
I had other thoughts, but I can't think of them right now. I guess that means I should get back to studying.
