Sunday
And so, a new week begins.

I had been up for a few minutes this morning (thanks to Sissy the Wonder Kitty’s attempts to climb onto the windowsill) when the doorbell rang. This was roughly 10:45. So, I got out of bed and headed to the door. I looked out the door, cautiously… and saw a young man holding a Fast Sunday envelope for the LDS Church. This normally happens on the first Sunday of the month, but next weekend is Conference Weekend, so this they have pushed up the date for collecting Fast Offerings. *shrug* I’ll have to remember to be a) awake and b) cogent enough next month to remember to inform whomever arrives that no one here is LDS and ask them to refrain from stopping here.

I’m not sure what I want to do today. It looks like a nice day out; this seems to have been confirmed by the Weather Channel website. Part of me wants to head to one of the bookstores and do some drawing; part of me thinks that I should indulge in a bit of outdoor time. We shall see…

Yesterday was a good day: I woke up at 9:30, so I made my way into the office, plopped down on the futon and watched cartoons. And then I intermittently watched my inner eyelids. I went to lunch at Guru’s with before heading to the park for a bit of Ultimate. Aerobic exercise is a good thing. Tiring, but good. I came home, took a shower and relaxed a bit before bowling. Once again, we were subjected to people with minimal (read: “no”) concept of lane courtesy. On both sides of our lanes. They weren’t necessarily obnoxious, just annoying. Fortunately, , and I were able to (mostly) ignore the voices in our heads that kept repeating “Eliminate them… MDK…. MDK….” We went for our usual postgame repast. One of our former favorite waiters, Jaysin, was there. (He’s a former favorite because he no longer works there.) All-in-all, it was a well-spent day.

Stray Toasters

  • THX-1138 is on Trio. This is interesting, but I’m not sure if I am in the mood for it now. Aspects of it remind me of Logan’s Run, though.
  • I finally unpacked some of my monorail last night, to make sure that it works. It does. Now, all that I have to do is find a spot to set it up.
  • Need I make a comment about how tired I am of the coverage of the “War in Iraq?” I don’t believe this: A little marquee just scrolled across the bottom of the screen of the movie plugging another channel with news coverage of the war. I like information, but there is a point of overkill. The Duran Duran song Too Much Information and Don Henley’s Dirty Laundry pretty well sum up my attitude on the media, at this point.
  • Bless the “Shuffle” feature of Winamp. ::: genuflect :::

And now, it’s time to figure out what I want to do with the rest of the afternoon… and what movie to see this evening.

Namaste.
