Brief updates

A sound / feeling very much like “grrrrRRRPOW” in my mouth last night woke me from a solid sleep. I looked in the mirror and discovered that I’ve somehow chipped the corner of my (very nice, expensive, time consuming, uncomfortable to put in) new crown. It might be a teeth grinding thing, but it’s a *front* tooth. What the hell is up with that? Remember to floss, kids. Dental care sucks more and more as you age.

Went to see Iron Man again with because, well, it’s an entertaining movie and we wanted to be entertained. Stuck around for the extra bit after the credits – which makes it even that much more awesome.

Spent most of yesterday cleaning. It was one of those days when I actually had a *desire* to clean / mop / and so on … so I went with it.

Last night, took me on a date. It was very cool. We saw “She Loves Me,” which is a musical theatre piece. I’m not much for musical theatre … but in moderation it can be very entertaining.

Hung out at my dad’s place for a day, which helped with the ‘old mental status. Had a great conversation with my brother, while standing in the garden foraging for strawberries.

Spent last week in North Carolina messing with a cool compute cluster. Actually got to see IRL, and met . Saw the 36th fastest (public) computer in the world sitting in a hallway because of a facilities miscalculation.

Going to NASA again next week. Hopefully they’ll be flying the F-22’s again.
