Rumors that Microsoft will buy Rational rather than IBM. I'd rather eat my own thumbs. People say they pay well, and that they're a good employer, but I'm glad that this whole thing is still just a rumor.

I kinda want to have a manual labor job for a while. Unloading crates of soda, or something. Of course, in my ideal world, I could do that while being paid adequately and also suddenly be able to do things like wear fur vests on the job.

Deadlifts rock. I did a big fat set of 20 last night, just to see what weight I should be at, and my legs just didn't care. My erectors spinae did, though. (SSC: how on earth does one pluralize an annoying noun like "erector spinae"? also, "biceps" and "quadriceps"? presumably, those plurals are just "biceps" and "quadriceps"...)

I recovered fully yesterday from the weird joylessness of the previous night. Tuesday night, just before going to bed, I had the peculiar experience of knowing that I *should* be happy but finding myself unable to be anything but bummed. David and I then started joshing around and I was laughing big physical laughs, but even the laughs were joyless. That sucked! I'm better now.

hah!

Mads just called me a "hacker-barbie-babe married to a Viking".
