It's time to go out and feel the sun.

Spring has been positively wintery so far.

I've been enjoying Lucy Kaplansky today -- or her music, more specifically.

The hummus hasn't hurt at all. I'm finally feeling better. I hate lettuce, so I don't know about chickpeas and salad.

Do you write for publications often? I've been trying to get into it (paid jobs) but don't really know how to start.

I have no thing near a boyfriend.
The non-date things are actual non-dates, not cutesy covers for dates.
Projection dreams? You'll have to explain them to me, I don't think I know much about them. That means I won't give an opinion yet! biggrin

A bit of music just came on -- Adagio for strings. It's a masterpiece, but just a shade heavy.

Anyway, what a downer.

After talking up Sophie on the merits of Neuromancer, by William Gibson, I realized I lost my last copy of the book in a little water damage incident while my stuff was in storage.

I happened to see a hardback, 20th aniversary...

Lately, I've had horrendously long weeks.

I still have to work a bit tomorrow (day six), but I'm home early, and hoping to get some rest.

Somebody wish me some beer. smile

kiss to Sophie for mentioning me in her Thursday journal.

Too bad Stasia is leaving. I love her smile, but I saw she disappeared from my favorites today. Bummer.

Have a good weekend.

4) Not really. More of a way to get people to think and interpret things in whatever way fits them. but to ease your curiousity -- it's not a page in a book. wink

Actually because I do have...people issues, being here has been harder on me than being at home. Because at home I would live in remote areas, here, I do not have that option. We are always in contact with people and it wigs.me.the.fuck.out. Really. I am good at being social, but this whole tripping over everyone sucks. I had imagined it being so isolated. Boy was that naive. I'm glad for it in some aspects, because it forces me to be in crowds, and now getting to the point I will not hyperventilate if I am. I'm such a wacko. wink

I've been reading a lot lately, and Sophie suggested in her journal that people check out Pat Barker's Double Vision, which was really good.

I recently picked up an early effort by Barker, called the Man who wasn't There, which was okay, but still good, and just got in the mail one called The Ghost Road.

But I opened it to read, and I find...

Thank you for your nice comment, it made me feel a bit better. I'm really good at striking up conversation with strangers and things, and I'm not a real shy person, but when I go anywhere with Kat I feel instantly invisible. She's really pretty and people tend to speak exclusively to her, and I just sit there twiddling my thumbs and wishing myself a million miles away.

...snow?!

I cleaned out the friend file, because after reading about this cool-sounding camping trip, they said they reserved the right to refuse to admit any "girl collectors" along with some other apparently heinous individuals.

Now, not that I really want to go, because I probably wouldn't anyway, but it got me thinking along the lines of my friend list.

When I first joined here, I...

Have you ever been offered a job that pays a SHITLOAD of money, but you didn't really want it?

I'm in that kind of situation at the moment.

I suppose it's sort of a nice position to be in. But principle matters, and I'm not sure if mine match with the position being waived under my nose.

bleh.

Nothing like an inky update like that,...

I expected some corn, ya know... I mean they had 3 different movie monsters in one movie... That's got crap written all over it. Why no Mummy? Just get everybody involved. It was sooooo made for teenagers.... like most movies nowadays.

They did actually have gunpowder then. The Eiffel Tower was going up. I forget what year that was built, but it was Victorian times. They had dynamite and guns and cannons. But... still the technology was a bit far-fetched. All the high voltage was a bit over-the-top. But then, it WAS sci-fi. What bothered me was that a woman of that era that was liberated enough to wear pants wouldn't wear a corset and heels. "I can't breathe or run, but I have free leg movement!" And the photos in the movie looked modern. They had the colour right, but the quality and setting were totally off. I can take the outlandish sci-fi stuff if they get the little details right, but they didn't try on any of it. But... most teenagers won't recognize that stuff. I would've, but I was a geek... still am. Like, The Time Machine. They got all the little stuff right, so the time machine concept was more believable. I detest bad movies. And a movie set in Victorian times has to be REALLY BAD before I will hate it.

that would be sooo cool !

Ok, new update ... the last one about the smelly guy lasted maybe 10 minutes.

I had a much better moment listening to the Cranberries.

Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
We wore Doc Martens in the sun
Drinking vintage cider, having fun

I've had a lot of fun here.

So far I've made a few fun acquaintances, and maybe even might get over being quite so shy online, and go to one of the events ...

Anyway, I wanted to thank all the folks who have been commenting, mostly, I'd guess, in response to my complete and utter sillyness and class clown demeanor.

I suppose I like...

Well, I have reentered the workforce to little or no apparent effect.

I had to take an unscheduled day off to get the car repaired after the trek to the alma mater.

About $750 later, I have my car back, and it's got not only a new exhaust, but new brakes and a mouse nest cleaned out of the air conditioner. puke

I suppose I better...

Go check out Dylan's set now!

She and I emailed a bit about an idea I had for a set, and she's just a blast, and very friendly.

Now that her set is up, she'll be all famous and stuff, but she's officially fun.

Plus, I get to put her in my favorites now.

Good for her.

Oatmeal with walnuts and a half teaspoon of brown sugar.

You can have some. Trader Joe's has some really good brands.

Ever have real, actual deja vu?

I did today. I went to visited the college I graduated from, to volunteer in a mentoring program with a student.

When I went to leave, after visiting some of the old landmarks, and feeding a squirrel by hand, my stupid exhaust pipe broke, and was scraping the road.

Fortunately, I had just pulled out of where I was...
