This is just going to be a bunch of stuff swirling around in my head. Right after I poke BF, hang on…
There we go. He should achieve a functioning level in an hour or two.
This month my cats are a year old. Not knowing exactly when they were born, it’s hard to celebrate a birthday, per se, but at this point we can guarantee they’ve been alive a whole year. This is the first time in my life that I’ve actually lived with animals this long. I had two cats for a short period of time when I first got married, but it was more like having annoying house guests than lovable pets. These two are still a handful for sure, but I love them both, and I’m pretty sure they like being here too. Watching BF with them is always fun.
It’s fascinating watching the world explode. Ten years ago, the rich, hoity toity kids were the only ones with big, honking cell phones, and ‘fast’ internet was 56k through your phone line. Now almost anyone can connect with almost anyone else almost anywhere almost instantly. It’s crazy. And dangerous. The list of ways your life can be turned upside-down just by clicking around the internet grows exponentially daily. Fortunately there are things you can do to prevent it.
Use an anti-virus. An up-to-date one. Scan your computer frequently. Know what you’re downloading and why. Use Firefox, and get the Flashblock and Noscript plugins. If you do any online gaming, consider turning off the autorun on your drives. See this article as to why.
Thanks a ton to a good friend who came to hang out, and stayed to help with dishes. You’re the best, really. Plus, now the mountain in my kitchen is conquerred. The ongoing saga of housecleaning continues.
Just got back from a jog/walk at the park. Going as the sun goes down is awesome. Watching the sun come up as you run totally sets the mood to kick ass and take names all day, but going while the world falls asleep is incredibly relaxing. There are so many thing clamoring in my head to get done, but I think I’m going to hop in the shower and head to bed real soon.
Went running at about 11:00. Only did about a half mile, but totally loved it. Felt great. It always feels awkward at first, but when I settle into the feeling of it, it gets to be a lot of fun. I can’t wait till I can run for a good 20 minutes at a time. I’m sure I’ll really be able to zen out. I then came home and broke out one of my old pilates tapes, cause I am a tone-less ball of goo.
And I just got a text saying my sister is on her way over, and I still haven’t showered. Gha!
I was going to audition, but I called later than I meant to, and all the spots but one had been filled. Because I’m working a show at the same time, that one spot did me no good. Oh well. At least I have the headshots. It’s a start, and I can go from there.
Too many thoughts, not enough time. “I splain. No, no, is too much, I sum up.” I have the greatest family of friends the world has ever known. I have never had flowers mean more to me than the handful I was given all wrapped up in a bow tonight. The hugs, the sympathy, the unequivocal reinforcement of my worth to myself and to them was exactly what I needed. I love you all, more than you’ll ever know.
But this one is really cool. It sounds odd, but put on some headphones and listen to this. No seriously, go find your headphones and plug them in, otherwise this won’t be nearly as cool. It’s not a scare or anything, just some really high quality stereo sound.
Edited: I found it on YouTube, which plays well with WordPress. BF and I were both surprised by what we saw and what we missed. YAOP, you especially would like this one.
