Bored

So. It's Wednesday and I stayed home from work because I was running a fever this morning. Urgh. I'm bored. Very very bored. I have new books to read, but I'm feeling too restless to focus on a book now.

Meh. Maybe I'll take a nap. I don't know how well that will work with the whole restless thing, but I guess I'll find out.

boredom, illness

Weird is more fun

According to the mug I bought last weekend in Asheville, weird is more fun. I love Asheville, while we were walking around I found myself wondering why it is that I don't visit more often ( Read more... )

It's Friday, October 12th, I live 2 hours or less from the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I've got the day off work. Hmmm, what to do, what to do... Well, since the sun is shining and the highs are in the 60s, perhaps this would be a good day to gas up the jalopy and head for the hills.

I am not at work today, ergo today is a beautiful day. That is all.

It's Charles Darwin's birthday today, and since I forgot to get him anything, I'll just say that when I watched Evolution last Friday night it was in his honor.

Happy 198th Chuck!

It's all about fear

I am an atheist, and I have been one for nearly a decade now. I don't advertise my atheism, but I don't hide it either. After all, if what you believe works for you, what difference does it make to me what you believe? None, so long as your actions don't affect my freedoms. Contemplating this recently has made me wonder why we have so many closets ( Read more... )

Home

I'm home safely; the drive was a pretty uneventful 12 1/2 hours, or about 45 minutes less than it took me to get to IL ( Read more... )

Shampoo

I forgot to bring some shampoo with me from home, so I've been using my Mom's shampoo while staying at their house this week. It has an odd but pleasant aroma, a raw pumpkin jack-o-lantern scent on top with a hint of... candy? Cinnamon/Red Hots? Whatever it is, the third time I used it the smell reminded me of dinosaurs ( Read more... )

Last Night at Monk's

I had a great time at Monk's last night, it was great to see everyone again. I often say that the only things I miss from Chicago are my friends and family, but I often forget just how much I miss them. Earlier in the day I had been thinking about how it's ideal to have just enough of something great to leave you wanting more. While I still ( Read more... )
