such unproductivity it's almost ridiculous.
It was one of those wasted weekends again ... I had a paper to write so, of course, I wasted a lot of time on the Internet. I should cut my losses, go to bed, and wake up early tomorrow, but I know I won't.

Oh, I also spent some time designing a new template for my personal website; most of the coding is finished, but I still have to move the rest of the content over. I like it, though it's not particularly exciting. Um, yeah, I'm just really rambling now, forgive me.

The one thing I did do this weekend was go bungy jumping off the Auckland Harbor Bridge. (Ha, I say that with such calm.) It's a 40m jump, which is probably one of the shortest around (the big one in New Zealand is on the South Island and is 134m) (I don't remember how to convert meters to feet, so if you're curious look it up somewhere :-P). Not that that means it wasn't scary as all hell. It was.

My two friends and I agreed, you jump -- and then there's this one moment when you're in the air just before you start falling and you're like, "Oh, #$*@." Then you fall forever, complete with that stomach-in-your-throat feeling, and you near the bottom and think, "Thank goodness that's over. -- OH WAIT, I'm bouncing nearly as high and have to do it a second time." Man, I'm actually getting the feeling again just writing about it. It was certainly way scarier than skydiving. (Which I also did in New Zealand, a couple weeks ago.)

Man. Now my heart rate's up.
