*yawn* Another random ramble.

I need coffee!

What I love about swimming is how well I sleep at night. I was warm, and comfy everytime I woke up, and fell back to sleep very quickly. I did have odd dreams about Wish3 being in colored pencil, with PEACOCK feathers EVERYWHERE. Gee, wonder where that one came from. Also, there was a big shopping mall with cute entrance guards, and a beautiful kiosk of exotic silks and embroidered tapestries.

Shoulders a little sore this morning, but not bad at all.

Got a migraine last night, so I didn't get much EMG done. Did write the disk I need, and print the t-shirt transfer most crucial. Of course, I didn't /bring/ a t-shirt today, but Kev'll spot me one. I owe him a mousepad, too.

Need to print another edition of Adventurers.

I love-love-love my new camera. Only drawback from a manual is that it gets cold and the shutter slooooows dooooown. Some of the fireworks pictures I took turned out kind of cool, by sheer luck, but most of em fizzled. My fingers were cold and my camera was colder, so the poor thing spent most of its time inside my coat.

Off to colorize more elevations.

This is a question that has bugged me for a while... where do you go swimming???

Forgive me, I am thouroughlyy a Californian, and you do live someplace very cold.

Well, there's a lake a few blocks up from where Jake works. Once you get a good hole chipped through the ice, you just have to keep it cleared out every couple of days. You swim really fast to stay warm, so it's great exercise, and you'd better have dry towels ready when you get out, of course. There's a little warm-up/changing shack with showers, and frostbite is hardly ever a problem.

I'm kidding! I'm kidding! We have indoor pools!! There's three of four of 'em in town, two public, one private health club and one up at the university. *laughs*

you make me sound like an airhead! But surely you've seen aerial photographs of So. Cal, with a swimming pool in every backyard? It's deeply culturally ingrained in me that swimming pools are outdoors, so that you can work on your tan (yuck) and look cool.

I know there are indoor pools, it just never occured to me that the middle of Alaska would have such a market for them. That's funny, though: you have more reliable access to a swimming pool than I do. There aren't any public year-round pools, and very few nearby health clubs offer them at all.

I didn't mean to tease! Or, I did, but not to make you sound like an airhead. :P

It's always weird to me that anyone would swim /outside./ Even in the summer, it's not that warm, there are no outdoor pools to speak of, and all the lakes and rivers are 32.1 degrees.
