An Insomniac Week
Jan. 7th, 2011 04:44 pmHappy 2011, everybody!
New Year's was a blast. Went to New Year's party at The Buttery (this communal home founded by some SCA people), spent the weekend hanging out with DJ, Michelle, and Ames.
Got in a little bouldering Monday and spent it all failing v1s.
Up late a lot this week, but still getting a lot done.
Saturday will be a road trip to NH to pick up Michelle's new kitten. Sunday there are brunch plans in the works.
Weekend after that is Mystery Hunt!
Following the start of the new congressional session has been... entertaining.
Various clothes-related things continue: Still working on shirts (slowly), acquiring a few sweaters and more chino pants. Suits (new and old) need to go to tailor.* Black dress shoes are still on my list (think I know what I'm getting there, though).
Fitness stuff also continues: Weight is hovering around 160, but some gain in muscle (I think). Trying the hundred pushups program and have managed to push my max rested up a few in a few weeks.
* I probably should have brought my old suit to the tailor instead of buying a new suit this summer. I currently have two very similar gray suits, neither of which fits that well, and the new one may well be worse quality than the old. I'm not sure whether the right solution is "tailor both", or "identify the better one, tailor that, donate the other". But honestly this should barely be in my mind at all, since I hardly ever wear a suit.
