(no subject)
Aug. 14th, 2002 03:56 pmYesterday was a long day. The gray hung in the air for entirely too long with no thunderstorms to reward my patience. I spent the evening scanning in photos from Seattle and talking to Carrie A. on the phone. Nice to surprise a friend with a phone call "just because". She instantly became my hero as she detailed how she installed a new computer chip in her old car and sold it for 5x what the dealership would have given her for trade-in value.
I get all my good links from
airborne1 - War? What is it good for? Huh - Intelligent posters.
Ok, except for this one. I'm not sure if I should be horribly offended or give into the snickering in my head.
I felt better last night but my 'insomnia' is back. I think I still might be on Seattle time. I didn't fall asleep until after 11 and woke up at 4:20 (dude) and had to pee. I had a dream that myself and two of my male friends were going to have sex with a female friend, at the same time. Later, in the same dream, there was a news-type program interviewing a woman I didn't recognize, saying that it was the Mormon faith and way of doing things. I'm assuming it was in reference to the earlier part of my dream. Incredibly odd.
Went back to bed for an hour and then Up and Atom for a long overdue trip to the YMCA. The whole process (waking up early, driving my car a few miles to the Y and spending half an hour on a treadmill while staring at one of the four televisions in front of me) made me think that I should simply go outside of the apartment and walk around the neighborhood instead. Granted, the Y membership was free and I do like being able to lift weights on occasion, but why go to the other side of town to exercise? Maybe I'd feel more connected if I spent more time near home.
Once I get our Seattle trip paid off, I think I'm going on a CD shopping spree. Tegan and Sara, The Weakerthans, Cake, and so on. Time to pay for some of my MP3s I've enjoyed for so long.
Perhaps it would be best if we judged the absurdity of things based upon how someone from the Third World would react. "You know beauty is more than skin deep. But try telling that to your hair." I read that on my bottle of shampoo this morning and cringed a bit. Absurd.
I had this idea while I was working at the campground. I think I should do my regular friends next...
