Chapter 6y- Random conclusions of my Saturday
Despite my lethargic sense of mind, today has been a relatively productive day.
...for a Saturday.
I cleaned out my fish tank, and found my eel is still alive :)
He likes to hide in the gravel. I usually see him late at night, but hadn't seen him for a couple of weeks now. So I was happy to find him still alive and well.
The Newton Boys was on Tv today. I didn't have time to watch it, but I have been looking tirelessly at Blockbuster for this movie with no luck. I was quite excited to see it listed in the Tv guide, and taped it for a later viewing time.
I accomplished a couple things that are rarities for me. The first being that I cooked today. I started cooking in college...Jenn and I would throw these parties in which I would cook huge elaborate meals. I enjoy cooking, but hardly ever cook for myself. I haven't done it a while since I really have no one to cook for, and no one to appreciate it. (I cooked for Bill and Jack all the time, and never once got a thank you for it.) I mean, yeah, I eat, but I never eat meals- I only snack on things here and there. Most of those snacks only take a couple of minutes to fix up. So today my meal was oven roasted, garlic baby potatoes with herbs. They took over an hour to make, but turned out pretty damn good- if I do say so myself. The second being that I've been writing a whole shit load of poetry lately. I don't know what it is, but seems I'm getting inspired every moment of the day. (I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing considering I only write when I'm depressed or upset. I know one good thing- I've got a thick notebook). I finally took up the nerve to post some.
Writing poetry this weekend has left me recalling too many bad memories though. I think I will decline the next challenge I present to myself.
I've been seeing more and more of my commercials lately. My mother gets all excited every time I point to a commercial and tell her that I recorded it. But to me it's just a harsh reality that I'm doing more commercials than music. I'm so sick of 'Shark Tale' commercials. But I did see a Fisher Price commercial for the House we recorded well over a year ago. That was kind of neat to see it's finally out. Brought back my days of working in ABC land. We did this huge project that included a house, a garden, a puppy, and some others that I can't remember. I know I'm gloating about it here, but the fact that I'm not overly excited about these things, that are nationally known, re-assures me that my true calling is in this industry. That makes me smile...keeps me grounded.
Notre Dame completely annihilated Washington today 38-3. They are now 3-1. Washington was the team they played back in Oct. '97 when my father took me to the Notre Dame campus for a game...in hopes that I would apply there and carry on his legacy on Damers- as I was his only chance....If only they had a music program...I would have lived in Indiana for 4 years instead of staying in New York.
I was watching the weather channel a couple minutes ago. They were reporting on the hurricane that's hitting Florida. One of the reporters was talking about how she was looking out the window, and all the crabs from the ocean had come up to the side of her hotel. They were all huddled around each other for protection. That broke my heart. I almost starting crying. Poor little crabs. She said she almost opened the door and let them all into the lobby.
Sadly enough, today was to be the Sabres first pre-season Hockey game.
...it was to be played in Rochester.
