Dude! Wait, what?

This was supposed to have been posted yesterday. Something went screwy.

Here is yesterday's post in all it's lovin' glory. I'll have a new post tomorrow after my physics test.

...I've even been known to jot down the odd poem, when the muse descends.

What a wonderful day. And not because it's Valentine's day. I'm not really sure that I buy into all of that. Hearts and candy and teddy bears, all seem like a cross between Christmas and National Get New Teeth Because Your Old Ones Rotted Out Day. On the other hand, it is as good an excuse as any to creatively express one's love for another.

In that vein, I've tried my hand at a sonnet. It's been a minute, and I'm rusty. Once I have SWMBO's permission, I'll post it here.

What a wonderful day. Seventy degrees, light breeze, partly cloudy, and no rough weather for at least a week. Don't get me wrong, I love my snow. I just like my spring-y weather too. I'd like to think that I can get in an extra two runs this week. My neighbor is a fair-weather runner, so this stuff shouldn't be too tough for her.

Speaking of running, I should mention that I've managed to hit my running goals for last week. I'm back to where I wanted to be mileage-wise, and I'm on track to run the Rock-n-Roll half at the end of March. Every once in a while, I'll pop out a seven minute mile as motivation. Like, I can't believe that I can run this for a mile, much less for thirteen! Maybe by the end of the year I'll be able to do that.

What a wonderful day. My new laptop is here! A Dell Inspiron 15R. It's fast (zOMG!!1), pretty, and mine! Microsoft has finally made a good operating system in Windows 7. It's fast, stable, and pretty. Too bad it took twenty years, but better late than never, eh? Speaking of fast, Office 2010 Professional (Plus! w00t!) installed in about twelve minutes. I'm blown away. This is what I've always wanted n a computer.

If you're wondering if this means that I'll be back to regular updates, fear not. It does. My goal is to get about ten posts ahead by the end of the semester. That way, any problems that I have will be covered by blog filler (blog + bondo = blog-do? bond-log?). No more weeks and weeks with nary a sign of life.

Okay. Here's what's on base. I want to do something about how private spaceflight ventures are really working well with NASA. I have personal research to do and report on. I finally figured out what the thrust of my masters research will be (fluid dynamics!) and want to get started into that right away. There are also posts on kids, babies, tweens (no Beiber), and married life. Stay tuned, it's gonna get hot in here...

Cheers,
