La la lala la la, sing a happy song...
Aug. 7th, 2004 04:06 amToday didn't get terribly interesting until later this afternoon, so I'll start there. See, I was awakened by a phone call at nine, which I don't really remember. Then Jeremy called at noon. I told him (I think) that I was too groggy to get up right now; call back later. (Was I really out that late last night? I don't even remember. And I didn't even drink!) OH I remember! I really was up that late. Went to sleep at about four. Woke up at seven, at eight, at nine, and at noon. Hokay. So.
Finally, I do get up, because Chris was coming over! Yay! I hadn't talked to him much in a few weeks, since he's so busy with work and has an ass-long commute. So we went to IHOP for food, then swung by Arby's because they had kept my credit card when I was there last night. YAY I have it back now! Then we went by the duck pond and sat and talked. But that's another entry. Then home to have a nap, then he had to go home. *sniff* Good times, good times.
Then went over to the Duck's for some chillin' and watching of Sliders. (That name always makes me laugh. Sliders are what we call White Castle burgers up in the Far Northland. Mmmgrease!) Shared name with intestinal lubrication aside, it is a good show. =) The first episode I saw was about a world where smart people are famous like athletes are now. I like that world. The second episode was in a world where women hold all the positions of power, and men have been relegated to secondary roles. I found it quite interesting... seeing a man having trouble getting hired to do anything but secretarial work sort of rung true. And men getting checked out by the people interviewing them. But somehow I don't think that men would suddenly be all overmotional in a world like that. It was funny though. =)
I wondered how gay men would do in that world. And I wonder what kind of maternity policies major corporations would have. I bet they don't suck like they do now. I bet health care would be better too.
Anyhoo. After that, there was much discussion. Many hugs for the Duck! So cute. =) *cheek pinch* hehehe... *evil grin* He brings many things to my attention that I had not considered. (And some that I had considered and was carefully ignoring.) Charlie, you'd make a great therapist. =) You have the best way of telling me I'm being stupid and getting me to agree with you. =)
That said... interpersonal relationships are so insanely complicated! I think I like being a zookeeper... it's fairly simple to get along with Freya, Thor and Valkyrie. (Even though the cats are slowly trying to kill me.) *sigh* I am not good at this. I think I liked being a turtle better.
( Appropriate Sister Hazel broodings )
There's no better place to think than sitting at a little table at a Sister Hazel concert, surrounded by strangers with a bottle of Newcastle in front of me. =)
I used to be able to write. Publish, even. My current musings suck too much to get published. =)
It is absolutely beautiful outside. It's a little cool and the wind is chilly, but with such low humidity, the sky is gorgeous. It got a little less visible when the moon rose, but before that was close to perfect. I could even see the Milky Way from my backyard, which is usually impossible. I hate that skywatching is best when it's too damn cold to enjoy it. Hopefully this weather will keep up.
Huh. It's four am. I should prolly go sleep.
