what to do

this past winter break has been really enjoyable (and it's not over yet). i've been able to accomplish a few things i have been wanting to do for awhile. these include:

- driving down the highway regardless of lane markers: seriously, who has not dreamt of doing this? if you're the only one on the highway, why would you restrict yourself to such a confined space on the road? i got a couple opportunities to do this over break and it's a great taste of freedom. it would taste even better if i didn't have to fear cops

- finished eagle's deli cowabunga burger: it's 2 lbs of beef and 2 lbs of fries. afterwards, i was inspired to look up other big eating places and the pointersaurus pizza challenge looks fun. i've also been contemplating/strategizing how and if i can complete eagle's challenge burger (5 lbs of beef, 5 lbs of fries).

- rearranged my room:


in regards to this blog, i just found out that i am running out of webspace and my camera is on the fritz. because of these reasons, i am going to hold off on posting until i decide what to do about this conundrum. i would like to redesign the site, but i'm also considering using a third-party platform even though this would go against the founding principle of being 100% hand-made. let me know if you, the readers, have any thoughts about what should be included/discluded in the next version of the aphtyr blog.
