Cold

A ripple for every moment

Frigid sky scattered here and there. Shadows watch mountains who are not easily scared. Snowflakes fall as time stands still, while sun's warmth trembles under the treacherous chill. Depths run thin as the ice grows, and blue meets white in the blue shallow. Everything covered perfectly in a blanket, one that is cold and doesn't need to fake it.

I thought I was having a bad weekend. Then I read Emily's away message: "soooo.... last wed. i started one of my three term projects due this week, and six pages into realized i had done the whole thing wrong. in my frustration, i set my book aside by the computer. so i'm driving by story city today on my way back to ames and i realize that i still have that book sitting by the computer. crap. call mom and dad and arrange to meet them half way back to woodbury (after calling into work since it's now impossible for me to make my shift). on my way out of ames i almost rear-end a car. today is getting really good :-P then i meet my mom in albert lea and pick up my stuff. it's time to refuel so i pick up my credit card and some things to throw away, only the card goes with it. so i learn the fine art of dumpster diving. ... and so now i'm finally home. there are just no words :-P"

So I guess it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't great either. I spent my morning at work. It went rather smoothly despite the fact my dad was working (Dr. Chaos) and the exception of the coyote-attacked dog, and the disgruntled client. The client wasn't too happy. I walked into the room to get the basics (weight and temp) and he was rather rude. I said, "Well, I'll just get a temp here quick." And I got a, "You won't need to do that". "Ummm, ok.." as he pulls out a blue folder. He shows me two pictures of the dog, one from a week ago and the other one from the night prior. He asked me what was wrong with the two pictures. I nervously answered, "Mel is standing up more in that one..." He said, "NO, look at the cast." I looked slowly between the two and I was just like, "SH** (in my head obviously)". The cast a week ago was on the right leg, the picture from prior night, the left... I nervously blurted, "Ohhh, I see..." And quickly, "I'll send Dr. Clappier right in." And he was like, "Yeah." I walked out rather embarassed, I almost pissed my pants.... but yeah. That was my excitement for the weekend. I spent the rest of saturday by myself. I made a depressing trip to caribou, in attempt to see some people I know. This was unsuccessful. Actually I saw a bunch of people I knew from highschool and the past but I didn't talk to them. I just sat, and wrote.

Sunday wasn't much better. I had a weird dream which almost made me oversleep. I went to woodbury lutheran church for the worship service. I sat by myself even though I was invited to sit by people. I left without hanging around only to upset a couple people. I will see them next week. I went to my grandparent's house afterwards to visit. I ended up staying and watching the Vikings game till about half-time. I went home and fiddled around with my computer. Pretty soon it was time to go to work. My dad doesn't know how to operate a computer so I always need to go in for sunday night releases when he works. Just another nice visit with clients. Almost everyone complained about their bill. It just wasn't a good weekend for cooperation. I went out to eat with my parents and back to home. I sat in my bed and did some debating...

I've been after a new domain name for quite some time. I've come down to two right now, and I'm almost positive on one. The one by popular demand is justclap.com. I know it's catchy, I know it's funny... but I've spent my whole life trying to get away from cheap shots at my last name. The last thing I need is a website that makes my life seem like one big joke. And the popular item may not always be the better choice (just take the presidential election for instance, ;)). I believe the new domain is going to be blueshallow.com. Dubbed "The blue shallow" on site. It sticks with ya and I can do a tad bit more design-wise with it. This isn't definitive but it is pretty close. Hold tight and keep updated.

This is the extent of my discussion for the morning. I may be back later with another update. I will say that I fixed the minor errors on the site that I promised I would. I made some changes to the php code so the domain survey only shows up on the front page, along with my signature. I edited the intro so "thoughts" was spelled correctly. Tonight I intend to get at a poetry update. It won't be very stellar due to the next few that are up, but it is a poetry update nonetheless. Speaking of poetry, I almost am to my goal!!! (From last spring.... :( ) Well, back to biochemistry... until later.... get phosphorylated.
