Is it a creepy coincidence that the moon was very ugly and red last night, and today happens to be Friday the 13th? It scared me last night, the moon. Silhouette clouds kept passing through it, making it look like tendrils of Chaos were creeping over a bleeding Moon. Even though I logically can think of about six different reasons for a red moon, it still...bothered me. It gave me goosebumps to see. There are very few things I'm even remotely superstitious about. But I felt like, as amazing as it felt to be outside at night, I felt like being inside was a safe place. I didn't want to feel exposed to that red moon.

It's been really nice, outside. I make excuses to go to the store just to mill around outside. The scent of wild gardenia is just...amazing. It feels good to be wrapped in the blanket of night, with my music in my ear, and feeling fearless and free. Sometimes Champagne will walk around the neighborhood with me. I think she has become closer to me now that Stanley's gone. She sleeps with me almost every night, now, and often crawls into my lap. This being, the Diva cat who sticks her nose up at everything and never backs down from another cat or animal. I thought of designing a cat crawl space for her. But  I decided to work on designing a bedroom--hopefully my future bedroom, as part of my portfolio.

There's a software I want to buy for home and interior design. I watched the demo for it, and was pretty impressed and thought it'd give me a leg up on my portfolio. I can create 3-D walk throughs of a house or a room I design. It gives me virtually all leeway to recreate a blueprint, design the walls, floors, furniture, hardware, everything down to the minute details. I've been looking around for a long while now, so I'm glad to have finally settled on something within my price range. Even for this weekend in South Carolina, I have to budget myself. Mom's going on a cruise inspection--or was, before she found out she got screwed over and didn't make the list--and I have four hours to kill, milling around and doing some shopping for grandma. Saturday we're going to Myrtle Beach so mom can shop, and we payed for a Martini/Pub Crawl Tour. I thought it'd be fun since they have historic roots, plus I'm not obliged to drink. I can just be entertained by watching the drunkards stagger around and have fun and still indulge my inner historian.

I made Fondue for mom after she got off work, and we watched the Big Bang Theory. I miss watching my nerdy boys--which is our nickname for both them and the show. Then we watched American Idol. It's a shame to watch James go! He was one of my Fab Five. I was counting on him to go all the way. I can relate to being bullied in school, so I was REALLY hoping he'd be able to go back to his home town--as Ryan calls it--"in style". I think it would have been the right kind of humility those bullies needed.

Oh well. Life goes on. I'm le tired. So to bed with me. G'day mates. <3
