too much work makes me go loopy

which leads me to online shop. a lot. it's a sickness. goddamn ebay.

i've been adding people like crazy on facebook lately. most recently, it's been students i've taught in the past. i didn't think they'd all accept my requests, that maybe they'd think i was stalking them or something. but surprisingly, they are adding me without any questions. so either they don't think i'm stalking, OR they just don't remember me at all.

what's kind of weird for me is just to see how much people have changed over the years. i don't feel like i've changed much at all. in fact, i like to delude myself into thinking i'll never look less than 5 years younger than my real age. which reminds me... tomorrow is the boy's birthday. now i'll only be "4" years older than him. i'll be less of a cougar, more of a really hot lynx.

i should be reading some patents right now. but i just can't.
