Taking classes in x86 assembly and operating systems and having headaches just trying to do some basic string processing and threading, while simultaneously using LINQ and lambda expressions at work to do awesome stuff without even trying. Pretty cool experiencing the contrast.
I've been trying a bit of online dating, but it's really weird compared to meeting people in person. You get to know a ton about a person without knowing if you'd actually have any chemistry in real life. Went on a date a couple weekends ago. It went okay, but kind of lost interest after. Like she was fun to talk to for a few weeks, but I don't think we actually had anything in common.
So yeah, that's what's up. I don't usually talk about my personal life on the Internet, so this is kind of weird.
The building chemistry part isn't different from meeting people in real life. If you two click, then you click. Mutual interests doesn't always guarantee that either, just like knowing someone face to face. Having background on someone just breaks the ice for those first few coffee dates. But good luck out there, man!

It's one of the best and most highly praised vegetarian restaurants in the world, which is crazy since the only actual brick-and-mortar venue is in Ithaca. They're internationally famous for their cookbooks.
OT: SUP KEN
Hi Danny.

We are going to start trying for babies while we're there (made in Paris, hopefully!) and though I look forward to becoming a mother and starting our own family, I'm not sure I'm ready to give my body up to stretch marks and hormonal mood swings.Hey, you say give up your body like that's the end of your youth. Plenty of women with 3 kids still look great.
Good friends of ours are pregnant and it's making me ridiculously baby crazy. We went shopping today for their baby shower and I was squealing in delight at all the adorable clothes, toys, blankets, etc. We have quite a bit of money we've been saving up for babby-making but dear god it's such a big decision. I suppose nobody is ever 100% ready when they bring a child into the world but goddamn if it doesn't make me feel insecure and terrified as pineapple. I feel so old.
Oh and I popped a blood vessel in my eye somehow. It looks pretty gnarly and scared the pomegranate out of me this morning but the hubby reassured me it was harmless. Good thing he was awake, I was ready to call off work and go in to see the doctor.
