this is the first entry in my new database driven diary. before i was using imap as a back-end because i’m lazy. ;P why am i doing this? so that i can create a form with some standard fields that i would like to record (copying my dad) – such as wakeup, sleep times; menu selections, and weight…. for starters..

i’m making lasagna. first time, all by myself. i’m nervous. minutes remain until first tasting…

prompted by my co-worker Kaya’s hard-core devotion to lose weight, i bought a scale. it is a cheap, analog, hard-to-read thing but it should help me gauge my relative progress. Kaya is being much more extreme than i think i will. i’m more interested in developing healthy habits than immediate benefits. i believe my current weight is about 136. if i get some time this evening, i will be redesigning the diary. so many things to do! =)

i worked from 10-4 yesterday, worked on spike, went out with some buddies and watched ‘Dark City’. i’m not sure if it was the two beers i had or the exhaustion but i was not very thrilled with the movie. it provided very little excitement. maybe if i had seen in 1992 or whenever it came out. i woke up today about 10 and i have been fixing issues with spike until now. smtp auth wasn’t working, as well as gallery. this experience is really helping me find the weak points.

i am tired. i lost a few scripts i had recently written. bummer. i should be able to recreate them without too much difficulty, but it sucks nontheless.

i wanted to be busy, and busy i am. the ressurrection of spike in bellingham’s data center went well. now comes the long and arduous task of reconciling data differences and getting it back to the position it was in. i intend on doing that tonight. i’m real busy at work – my own plate is full and i have been eager to volunteer for other things as well. why? well – idle hands are the devil’s playground… or something.. ;P if my brain is busy working on stuff then it cannot be drafting scenarios about the end of the world, the end of love, etc. gotta go, too busy.
