Warm/Dildo
Slept without sudafed, which is a good thing. First decent night's sleep I've had in ages.
Did my planned run this afternoon. Over the course of it the temperature rose from 55 when I started to 68 when I got back. Wow! Awesome weather for the first day of the year, but man did I get overheated. In any case, was a good chance to go out and focus on the uberlist I wanted to make over on LiveJournal.
Not much else happening today, but I did want to take part in a challenge issued by Gee to post a pic of your favorite dildo. So, here goes:
It's called "the Champ," and comes from Vixen Creations, who make quite nice silicone dildoes. The one I have is the red-black swirl:
So, there ya go. Sorry the picture quality on the one in my hand isn't that great, it's just the little Logitech web cam I'm using. It'll be better when I can do all this stuff on my new iBook with an iSight.

Still Here
All rumors to the contrary, I am still here. I've switched over to an iBook as my primary computer, and have ordered a copy of Dreamweaver so I can switch my web editing over there as well. It's been a slow process, but I am moving completely over to the iBook for my computing needs. The PC will remain for the occasional gaming when I don't want to upgrade the games, but otherwise it's Mac for me.
But the delay has caused a whole month of nothing here on the web site, since I'm syncing my Palm now (successfully!) with the iBook and not the PC. Will be working on a redesign for the page once I get the new editing software onto the iBook so I can get out of this poor, circa 1996 program that I'm using here on the PC.
So I'll be up and running again soon, probably next week.
