so i took a nice week off. a very nice week. first it was really hot, but then it got not so hot. and today was perfect.. except for the rain in my car. but cool. and next week is gonna be awesome. RPIW week.. i'm gonna be a participant. i haven't been one since october. rockin. also big news, we are having a new dishwasher and a new refrigerator delivered. that's tuesday. biggest news of all: Cat's job is over tomorrow around noon. i guess. things are gonna be different...

oh, so check it out. yesterday i got a wheed whacker. it's totally rad. i took out half of the weeds in the back yard, and 80% in the front. didn't get to the side yet, but it'll happen. today was rainy a bit, plus i'm lazy. next i need to take the corpses of trees out from under the weeds and brambles. damn blackberries to hell.

pardon me

For I have been most rude. I neglected to report that i sawr a play last night. it was not the reason i was greasy though, but it did prevent me from degreasing earlier. rather, it was an outdoor play. very nice atmosphere. and the performance was entirely delightful, of which Juan was a performer. though i have to say i was rather shocked when the two crotchety audience members next to me abruptly grumbled and left when they realized there were two male characters going to end up together. perhaps it offended thier delicate sensibilities. but in all i thought it was pretty accessible, though i will never find that language entirely accessible. i promise. i can understand 19th century english, but not 17th or 16th ... or perhaps 15th.. it's not my deal. if Mr. Burns wouldn't have talked that way i probably have to work to hard to understand everything.. anyway. good times. good show.

interesting thing

today i did something unusual and good. it was very hot today and i had to be outside and drive in my hotbox of a car. come the end of the day i saw myself in the mirror and noticed how greasy, shiney, and ruddy i was. so there's a zen story about an old man working under the scorching sun just a sweatin' and a workin' and a young man comes to him and says: "why do you toil in the sun?" and he says: " because i am here, and the sun is here." the story goes on to explain that to escape the misery of extreme temperatures you must perceive them as the same as you. if it is very hot, be very hot, and if it is very cold, then be very cold. you must be one with your surroundings. so today my surroundings would have been unbearable...rather.. and i was one with them enough to have not really noticed. i was aware enough to know it was f-ing hot. mostly inside my car. but yeah.. i thought that was interesting.

oh yeah, they had $100 violins at the music store when i went.. i didn't get one. i have enough toys.

further negligence

i don't care to post sometimes.. but tonight i'm willing to. however, on the downside, i have nothing interesting to say. today i wrote a new presentation for 5S.. i'm going to stop sucking at presenting if it kills me. does anyone else really really wanna see taladega nights? i do. i suppose i implied that in the way i phrased the question. i like that. ithink i could eat something but my tongue has one of those unpleasant pointy-up taste bud things. i really don't care for those.. but unlike Cat i have no stomach for extracting the offending bud from the surface of my tongue. i'll leave you with that to chew on.

hrmph

i was playing el sim city. it was fun. and i enjoyed naming the little slums in my town after places i have names for in my head. like pimpton and trampdenville. and so on. there's a cd i'm buying right now on itunes.. i'm gonna listen to it on the way to works tomorrow. sometimes when i make mp3 cds... well, i put crap on them... not sure why.. to break the monotony of the stuff i'd listen to for weeks at a time without changing the cd. perhaps. anyway.. gonna go. blop.

erm

i dont' konw if anyone's been by here recently, but i could know.. if i really cared.. but i'll just leave the sentence as it is. i lost my old template.. so the colors changed and all.. kind of lame, and this is as close as we could come without working on it.. which wasn't on the menu for the day.. anyway. i'm gonna go eat dinnah. later.

wewg

So what will i write about tonight? i'm on the coast tonight.. it's very calm here. a little cold, but nice. we're leaving early in the morning after we tidy up a little more. it's been very nice to be away. especially not doing anything. it's very pretty up here... we watched a movie i liked. Aeon flux. alot of people didn't seem to dig it like i did, but i always liked the cartoon. even though i couldn't put it together. so because this did, it tied together characters and a story i never had in a linear fashion. so it was awesome. plus they really looked like the cartoonians. in other news i'm going to clean the yard and house some when i get home.. but i'm missing that cello.. so i'll practice until it sounds no good.. and i'm missing the cats. i have also come to terms with my deep seated need for a recliner. and i hope that i can make it a priority to replace the orange chair... somehow. doesn't have to be orange.. but i need that kind of comfort again. wug.
