sort of.
I've been having problems lately with memory, freezing up, viruses, & what-not. also, my computer was acting up.
anyway, I took it (the computer) into my local computer repair place-slash-Bible school (it's a small town) & asked the technician/pastor if he could run a diagnostic.
he said that he could, & would, & mentioned that he could upgrade my computer &...

major chunk of uncertainty about my upcoming vacation has solidified.
I'm going to the RNC in New York!
the sort-of-plan is that I'll go to Madison WI next week, meet up with galfriend, & we'll join up with a convoy of protesters who've rented a trio of buses going NYC-way.
however, I'd also like to be accompanied by another galfriend working near Reno. I told...

stupid netflix.
no, stupid ratsonjulia, I guess.
I've been paying the membership fee (which was hiked a couple of months ago) & have gotten quite a few great movies thru it. (& in this town it's pretty much the only way to see, on DVD a non-blockbuster movie made after 2000. or any sort of movie made before then.

another old piece I just recently came across. I'd been drinking a beer & reading coverage in USA Today of a golf tournament & was struck by a few passages in the description of the course that seemed almost poetic. by the third beer I'd pretty much had this written & then promptly forgot about, but it ain't bad, if I do say so myself....

good news: a neighbor may have spotted Flopper (my missing cat) the night before last.
bad news: my step-father was sentenced to the pokey for 45 days. (long story that I don't know yet--I'll find out what the hell is going on in a few days)
good news: I was supposed to do jury duty in a couple days but it's been cancelled.
bad news:...

still no Flopper.
rotten fucking morning--some low-level wierdness & sort of a dull, hopefully baseless, terror.
to begin with, I have 3 cats. they used to belong to my grandmother & she loved them more than anything. when she passed away I took them on & I love them more than anything.
one of them is missing.
I have a fenceless yard & all my cats meander around...

learning finger-picking (on guitar) & am thus growing the figernails on my right hand.
& it's driving me nuts because I want. to. CHEW. the. damn. things.

sort of a grim night at the prison last night.
an inmate in the other housing unit in my building had to be taken to the infirmary. he was hemmhoraging, stomach distended, in extreme pain. he has hepatitus C.

there's a part of me that would like nothing more than to do what I am doing right now--namely, listening to my mp3's on random, drinking beer & smoking Marlboro menthols (not my usual brand, but a local store has them on deal at 2 for one--so...)
& there's the other part that thinks that human companionship might be desireable.
today I practiced...
