Do I ever update this blog anymore? Seems like not very often.

Well, Marcella and I have the rest of the week off. We’ve started things off by trying to clean up our front room. Right now it’s combination office (read: it has a giant desk that hardly ever has anyone seated in front of it), and bike storage, and random chair collection. But we are thinking of moving the furniture around and cleaning it up and hopefully making it more useable, and in turn, more used.

I’d like to end up with a place we can setup to do some arts and crafts things from time to time. Right now if either one of us wants to be visually creative we’ve got to dig everything out of the closet and set it up somewhere, and by the time that is done we’ve usually burnt out on the idea.

So that’s going to be project one for the free time.

Beyond that I want to do some reading. I’ve started another game of chess with a friend in NY. I wouldn’t be surprised if another game doesn’t crop up soon too. Some bike riding should definitely be in order at some point; I’ve really got to get back in the saddle. Plus, I need to study some on my various outside projects like spanish vocabulary. Since level one ended I haven’t even looked at my spanish book, and I need to not let that get too far behind. These things are lost far too quickly. Recently I’ve also begun trying to learn some programming. I got a couple of books on Objective-C and am diligently reading and transcribing code and running practice programs.
