I labored over a title for this quote for a while, but couldn't come up with anything.
I haven't updated in a little while, but this might be brief anyway.
Running is still progressing. I ran 2 miles in less than 16 minutes both Monday and Tuesday this week. Not terribly fast, but it seems a good pace for me. I'd like to get that down a bit more, but don't know how/whether I'll really do it.
I finished a bunch of stuff for guitar building and began the process of building a neck. I have a few other things I need to work out, but I've already messed something up. While routing the truss rod cavity (for a one-piece neck, this goes through the back of the neck) I got my template reversed and now I'll be making a left handed neck. Because this neck isn't really intended to take any sort of load (pine isn't hard enough) it's fine. I need some double-stick tape (the thick foam-padded kind, not the two-sided scotch-tape kind) before I can continue.
Back in junior high (ten years ago...that's kind of odd) I used to play Magic: The Gathering a bit. I mostly played with my brother, my friends and his friends, but I tended to play much better than any of them did, so they quit playing with me... I saw that Wizards of the Coast (the company who prints the Magic cards) was giving decks away...so I ordered one. It turned out to be split into two mini-decks...so I taught Erin to play. She seems to like it, so I think we'll try to get into it. Hopefully all of my cards are still at my parents house; when my grandmother moved in with them, a lot of my stuff got moved into a trailer that was at a storage facility...the trailer got stolen, so loads of my stuff (including my really old copies of Lord of the Rings among other books) got stolen along with it. The cards were, I believe, in my closet, which was largely untouched, as far as I can remember, so I have reason to hope. Erin and I are planning to go back to Katy the weekend after next (May 9, probably) and hopefully we'll pick them up then.
I like this song: Ievan Polkka and might make a ringtone from it sometime. In other phone news, I'm 99.999% sure I'm going to buy the Google Developer version of the G1 phone. The OS looks really good and the hardware seems tough enough and well built. I'm pretty excited.

I wanna learn to play a new game...
It's kind of a complicated game...I'm not sure if you would like it. It's also quite involved with the card collecting (which seems to be substantially more expensive than I remember...) and all.
"Booster Packs" (15 random cards) are about 4 bucks...I remember them being about 2...decks are around 10-15, but you really want to get more into the booster packs to build more customized decks.
I'm worried that my cards won't still be at my parents' house; in that case, we may not really get into this...due to the cost of it...or we may, but just really slowly.
Maybe I'll try to teach you how to play the game sometime.
I don't want to have to buy stuff for it.. I just want to learn how to play with other peoples' things.
That's kind of the tough part. A lot of the game's fun (for me, at least) comes from building a deck up from a collection of cards...that can take quite a long time. I'm actually a little worried that Erin and I might run into the situation where we both want a particular card in our decks, but don't have a second...bleh
