magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

i got my viola yesterday. i know absolutely nothing about playing stringed instruments, but my mom, who almost became a professional musician (playing french horn, but she was around string players), gave me some pointers to get started. it's something new and fun to play with.

spent most of yesterday trying to figure out how to partition the hard drives on the new servers. that was a little nerve wracking. i have this fear that i'll do something really wrong in the initial setup, and then be stuck with the consequences.

i'm so behind in the things that i have to get done before i leave. but i guess that's no big surprise. since when have i ever got anything done in a timely fashion?

and i'm planning on spending a good percentage of this weekend just hanging out. so that kinda squeezes everything into monday. but some way or another, it'll all come together in the end.
