All right, I feel accomplished. My list of things done this weekend:

- Got the internet working
- Made several attempts to come up with a workable solution to the wire problem in my kitchen (though I'm still working on this, there has been Progress)
- Bought a wealth of wonderful DS games (okay, only three. But how can I go wrong now that I finally own the last two Phoenix Wright games and Hotel Dusk?)
- Got my hair cut (there would be pictures, but my webcam seems to be angry at me.) I have bangs though now... because the girl didn't really give me much of a choice once I suggested it. But I'll live (it actually looks good most of the time, though I'll be living in fear for a while until I get used to them). At least they're long enough that I'll be able to tie them up with the rest of my hair in a few weeks. Temporary bangs, woo.

- And the crowning achievement of my weekend: I e-mailed the regional director of DI and told her I wanted to coach a team. Hopefully I'll hear back from her. This is officially Step One in the grand Get Decent Experience with Kids and then Go Teach Abroad Plan. Step Two is Actually Applying Places. Considering how long it took me to write that e-mail... this will probably take until December. Goshdarn me.

There are tiny ants living on my desk. Since I've made an actual effort (and succeeded) not to eat in here... this is a bit unnerving. But at least they aren't carpenter ants. And hopefully they'll go away if I ignore them and don't give them anything to eat.

You got Hotel Dusk! :D I need to play some more. Stupid life, getting in the way of video game time. Also, yaaaay, Phoenix Wright!

Also also, yaaay internet! Also also also (I'll stop now), even if the haircut is weird, at least it's not like the haircut my boss got a couple weeks ago. I had never realized until then just how pointy his head is. And even that only lasted a few days.

Good luck with the coaching thing!

Hotel Dusk won me over as soon as I had to turn my DS over like a book. I'm that easily won. Also it's pretty, and the writing is good, and that's about all I need. Basically, I think my DS was made for adventure-type games. (-;

Oh dear... I certainly hope I don't ever get a haircut that makes my head look pointy. The bangs have sort of settled in now, so it's mostly a matter of dealing with hair in my face at all times.

The DI people already e-mailed me back. ^_^ It doesn't look like I'll be able to find a team, but I can flit about saving the day in smaller ways for a while, and I'll probably end up working at the tournament. It's probably safer for me, what with no proper adults to fall back on this time, but I want to play with kids! (-;
