Moot Thoughts & Musings

Life is careening by, and I'm trying to spend less time on the internet, as I tend to get distracted surfing and whatnot. And since I've lost concept of time passing, this is dangerous. I haven't had to try very hard, though, since I'm kept so busy.

Couple of highlights:

* On Saturday we upgraded our cell phones. We've been using the same ones for about 4 years. The people in RadioShack laughed when they saw the dinosaurs we've been toting. My new phone is SO cool!!! There's a little mountain scene on the screen where the time/date are and in the daytime the mountain scene has a day sky, and at night, the sky changes to dark with stars! And the phone even has Tetris. We each allowed ourselves a splurge item. Chris downloaded a Miles Davis ring and I downloaded Tetris. We're like kids with new toys. :)

* Elvis is jiving!!!! In case there was any doubt before, there is definitely a baby in there. He is basically acknowledging his presence 24/7. It's mostly fun to have him tumbling, jiving, and hiccuping. Constant entertainment. (I sometimes have to encourage him to try other parts of his egg, though, because constant pummeling on me in one spot does get a little uncomfy after awhile.) Chris is even able to take part in the entertainment now, feeling him move all around.

* School is going okay. I'm feeling more energetic lately, so I'm trying to take advantage of it and get some stuff done. I'm getting excited about some projects, which is always good.
One bit of advice, though, don't agree to substitute teach for a professor who is going to be gone a couple of days if this professor tells you (repeatedly!) the wrong time the class meets. It's going to be majorly frustrating, since you've already had to majorly reorganize a couple of your days. Also, go to a school with other grad students who can be asked to do such things, so you're not the only one to get dumped on. (Actually, I ended up cancelling one of the classes. I figured it was my prerogative since I was given such short notice, and this prof will just have to deal. It'll be fine; sometimes my duties as a student just have to take priority, since that is what I am.)
