my hands smell of linseed oil.

this is because i built a wheel. this in turn makes me WAY AWESOME.

in other news, the projected low (or "lo" as noaa likes to put it in "shorterhand") for leadville is 12 degrees fahrenheit. this is grossly "nonfair". the projected "lo" for ballard is in the upper fifties. how can i ready myself for the colds of winter amidst such mild "weathe"? and speaking of "shorterhand", the cats at noaa also like to call for a "hi" of whatever. maybe i've got this wrong ("rong"?), but i thought "hi" was an american "salutatory effect". maybe that one's actually sposeta be "i", but i think that'd "caus som mor" mischief. i realise that "high" might look to someone who is not an english "spaker" to be "pronounciated" more along the line of "hig", but anyone checking noaa's website for the "weathe" most likely does "spake" enough english--noaa is an american agency, after all--to understand the word "high". "" could be "rong".

in other other news, i woke up this morning roughly 2 minutes after i usually try to be at work. (which is a "haf our" before i'm scheduled to be there.) this is bad. I'M PRETTY SURE THE WORLD STOPS TURNING IF I'M LATE TO WORK!!! i felt out of sorts until i got coffee. i know what you possibly are thinking: "silly caffination junkee." actually, the girl pumping coffee was "dropping" a "practice latté" and i interrupted her. when she looked up, she SMILED AS THOUGH I HAD "UNNUMERABLY" BRIGHTENED HER DAY. which in turn "UNNUMERABLY" BRIGHTENED MINE. i asked if she needed to make a "practice americano" but she said she had it covered. at which point her boss made me a "professorial americano" and i was slightly disappointed cos i figured a "practice americano" might carry a hint of her smile with it and the "professorial" one merely tasted amazing. o wel, tomoro's anothe da.
