I’d like to enter this, but I can’t think of any good and realistic ideas. I wish my origami skills were up to making a katamari, but I don’t think they are. Any thoughts crafty friends?

I had a bad cold for a couple weeks right after the wedding, and I’ve got another bad cold again. The Internet tells me that lack of sleep increases the chance of catching a cold. Maybe I need to start getting to bed at 10:30 instead of somewhere close to midnight.

I woke up this morning thinking I would deal with more wedding stuff, do some footwork in our backyard and possibly do a lot of laundry. Instead I ended up trying to write a ruby gem.
