hodge podge of a day

three random quotes:

"so if you and i ever produce a movie, can we label it 'rated R for brief matroid nudity'?" ~scott

me: explain to me again why you get pleasure out of making me scream?
eric: i've tried to explain to you before. it's just fun. i think you need to be a boy to understand.

yeah, so, i was being observed today, and one of my students came in late and commented 'who's the old guy?' really loudly... i don't think i got good marks for that. ~scott

one thing i've learned today:

there is a down side to weight loss. i mean besides the cost of clothes... that's halfway fun. you may remember in july that i discovered that losing a decent chunk of body weight means you can't handle as much alcohol. scott and i had a tradition last year of going out for margaritas once a month and chatting it up and i never had a problem with it in the least,... and i used to have bragging rights to being able to drink outrageous amounts of vodka without feeling the least bit tipsy. in july, it was a glass of wine... tonight, scott and i got margaritas for the first time in forever. it was A margarita; nothing big. and i wasn't majorly affected, but feeling just a little bit happier, warmer, fuzzier, whatever after dinner. on the whole not a bad thing at all. after dinner scott and i played a game of pool at his house, and then read go, dog, go!, only instead it became go naked matroid go this time around (don't ask... we're both tired and overworked math people)("up we go! up we go! to the top of the lattice of flats!" was another brilliant quote from tonight's reading... yes, we ARE math weirdos)... the only time it was a problem was when i got home an hour ago. i was still feeling nice and warm and fuzzy, but hadn't gone out on my jog yet for the night... i started out but couldn't get my feet to keep a consistent pace for more than a few dozen feet, so i gave up on that and just made myself was 3 miles instead. i feel lazy.... how sad is that... walking 3 miles is a lazy day for me when i used to do less than nothing for exercise.

go figure.

done rambling.

ready to crash.

yay.

night y'all.
