Bumblebee

I'm now on a team at work called Transformers (most of the team works with Game and Simulation Programming students). As part of my hazing, I took a transformers test to see which transformer I am. :)

Bumblebee
As an Autobot spy, Bumblebee is the ultimate robot in disguise. What he lacks in size and strength, he makes up for with courage. He enjoys the company of humans and would do anything for his Earthly friends.

Like Bumblebee, you are good by nature. But beware because mischievous thoughts sometimes tempt you. You show no aptitude to become the commander of the Autobots. In addition, you stick to the basics and don't need all the encumberances of modern technology.

spring

i'm going to try to start posting here again. no promises, but i'll try.

things of spring to note:
*the Regal Beagle is open. i spent a large chunk of time last weekend cleaning off my furniture covers so that i could put them into storage clean (so as not to rot over the winter). i have only had 1 guest so far, but i may cristen it with a mini-party soon.
*i got a new haircut a few weeks ago and have gotten a lot of compliments. it must look good.
*i am trying to read more. including the "finish what you started" new years resolution i set for books a few years ago. i still have a lot of books to finish, but i'm using the library to give myself some variety. i recently finished the 4 books in the twilight series (i give the series a C+ but would recommend you read it if you like sappy crap or just want something juvenile that doesn't use your brain). i also just read 1984 by george orwell - trippy - and three cups of tea - inspiring, and something i'd recommend for all. next up i'm reading sense and sensibility / pride and prejudice / mansford park (all in 1 book i checked out) and the picture of dorian grey. i'm going old-school for the next few weeks.
*as i type this, i'm breaking a self-care rule i set for myself. i'm trying to shut of my tv and computer at 9pm and go to bed between 10 and 10:30. i will follow through in a few short minutes...only 30 minutes late. :)
*i planted new stuff in my big giant pots on my patio and this year, i planted most of the flowers and stuff from seeds. so i head out every day to see the progress. though it's slow, the snow peas are starting to get big, and the mint plant (which i bought already in bloom) is doing well. i put some mint in hot water today for some tasty tea.
*nicole, dayna, and mindy came to town this weekend to celebrate nic's birthday. we had a nice urban family + dayna dinner on friday night and we had a night on the town last night that included mint/820, bowling, and tasty food in ne portland.

ok, that's all the wild and crazy stuff in my world right now.
