Shut Yo Mouth

Giant Women who Think Alike: Kate and I have a lot in common these days - broke up with our boyfriends after 2 years, quit our jobs, moved to a new apartment, bought a new car, etc. Adds to all the things we already had in common - two cats, very tall, colored hair, pretending to be trannies, etc.

Friday Night Blues

Ain't goin' out tonight, no way no how. Wish I had someone to stay in with. Somehow Mr. Cary doesn't quite cut it.

Revelation

The small moments in the lives of ordinary people can be so fascinating. I spent the weekend back home, more specifically in my grandmother's hospital room, and listened as people poured in to spend one last afternoon reminiscing. They talked of people I had never heard of, or of distant relatives I vaguely knew, or brought up familiar names paired with a tidbit I had never known. This has happened before and I wished each time that I had some sort of recording device so that I could remember the details later, but I think the point is that these tiny glimmers of immortality erupt and immediately erode. They pass with the people who remember them, their only relic a tinted photograph of people who have lost their names and stories to time.

Big Game Hunting

Finally, a photo from our hunting trip, but I'm still waiting on the bulk of them from Lisa {ahem}. I took this one from Reimer's myspace page. And no, I am not pointing the gun at Kelly's head, the perspective of the camera is wierd and I think the person taking the photo was standing on the other mule and tilting the camera.

Fridays are Weird

I have a hard time concentrating on my work on Fridays. I'm having a hard time even concentrating on typing this post. I think it has something to do with the fact that I usually go out on Thursday nights, so I'm typically (at the very least) a tad hungover on Fridays. Then there's the fact that I don't want to get started on a project that I might not finish today and then have to wait two days until I can pick it up again because I might lose my train of thought and would then have to begin again. And lastly, Friday's are so ADD because of all the emailing, planning, etc that goes on in preparation for the weekend's festivities. There's always something going on in my world these days, I really wish I could have a weekend where I didn't have any social obligations and could just chill at the house, maybe sleep all day, do some much needed yard work, watch a bunch of movies or read a book, geez, I don't know when the last time was that I sat down and read all day long. Okay, that's my new goal, next weekend I am going to go sit at Empire all day long and just read a book. I have a new one I've been waiting to start, Fool on a Hill, so that will be my plan for Saturday. I'm so putting it on my calendar: Running in the morning (after I sleep in of course) then go home and start some laundry then head to Empire and camp out on the patio until it gets too dark to read, then hit the grocery and go home and cook something and watch Grey's Anatomy until I pass out. Or, I might read until it gets dark then go home and take a power nap and go out, if I'm feeling social. I guess I'll leave that option open. Wait a second, see, that's why I don't have any time for 'me' time, because I'm always thinking about going out. I'm so addicted to it, sometimes I even go to bars by myself, but its not the drinking so much as the weird, chance encounters that happen and make the night interesting. I run into people I know almost everywhere I go and I've always really loved that feeling of "even though its a big city its a small world". And I think I'm getting ready to start dating again. But maybe just a little. Or maybe not, I guess it depends on who's asking me out and how I feel that day. I've been having such a blast being a fab single gal lately that it almost seems a shame to tie me down again so soon. But I guess I need to remember that for most people dating doesn't mean getting tied down because you're not actually supposed to get serious with every person with whom you go out. Except I haven't really learned how not to do that so its something at which I'll have to work. Fast.

Healthier Diet, Healthier State of Mind?

I have to say that whether it be psychosomatic or real, I am definitely feeling happier and saner since I stopped eating meat. Could it be the absence of added hormones? Interesting....

There is nothing worse than a weak handshake

People with small hands have it tough, as I think its harder for them to give a proper 'how de do, lets shake hand'.

I just shook a carpet rep's hands and my cat gives a better paw shake than this dude. Poor guy. Maybe I could start a business where I teach people how to give proper hand shakes. Or maybe there's a way to invent a machine. It would be a robotic arm that would buzz you when you grabbed it in a wrong way. Think the game "Operation".
