Rainy Monday afternoon. Arena is a water feature, pasture contains small islands. Horse show hangover is still very much real, manifesting itself as a lovely migraine. Spending the bulk of the day in bed with the kitty. Not sorry.
Crazy huge horse show was crazy huge. A few tense moments here and there, but ultimately a SUCCESS. The trouble with doing something big enough that it swallows your life whole for days on end is the after. Exhaustion, and letdown. Maybe that's why I felt the need to stay up until a VERY UNMENTIONABLE hour of the, er, morning, battling a failing computer and an emotional Sony Vegas in order to finish the montage of video from the show.

(Also, a pox on artistic perfectionism. I had to talk myself into uploading the video this morning, having realized that I had forgotten to edit two clips towards the end that were intended for slow-motion. *headdesk*)
Wondering:
...why does YouTube keep putting up a Mitt Romney advertisement on top of my video? this seems rather misleading.
...would chocolate make an acceptable dinner?
...if I cry into my farrier's voicemail, will that make him come reset Chase's shoe sooner?
...does Kristin Stewart only have two facial expressions?
...why are so many women attracted to Chris Hemsworth? (yes, I have been watching Snow White and the Huntsman.)
...how many more times will I have to write Chapter Twelve before I find out what REALLY happens in it?
...why do I feel the need to buy a horse every time my life goes through upheaval? this is getting to be a trend.
...how can it be October already? how can it be dark at 7:30?
how can I have less than three months remaining here in my magic treehouse?
