Fall.

Thank you. Rain and cool and what things should be like. Fall is here and thank you. I am very happy for it.

I'm up to day five with no caffine. I think I can kick this one much easier than the sugar, so I'm going to give myself some time to make sure I've got it down. The sugary drinks are what's really killing my teeth and by cutting out caffine, I cut them out as well, for the most part. As for sugar, I am eating less of it but stopping eating it at all means I need to suppliment the house with other things to eat first. So, Friday when I get paid, I'll go shopping for some things to bring into the house.

Going to the optomitrist today. Going to get new glasses and some contacts since I really enjoyed being bacl to go without glasses from time to time. They'll cost a bit of money but what doesn't?

Game was great yesterday. My character is now 15 and she acts it. A young 15 but certainly 15. She has no idea what to do about anything that might have to do with love or attraction at all. Of course it doesn't help that she's not sure she's actually feeling any of it or just leaping into the first situation that seems mostly safe to get it over with. Probably some of both, to be honest. I'll write in that journal later, I'm sure.

Mmmmmm. Stuff.

And Ben saw The Emperor's New Groove this weekend for the first time. I have a feeling that will be some fun today... and for the rest of the week at least.

Another moment in no context...

There are just some conversations I will not get invovled with. Things will not end up well if I do.

Something learned...

While down in California, I hypothisized that I am missing some fundimental girly gene. I don't really like Ani DiFranco or Tori Amos or Sarah McLaughlin. Not really. I won't turn it off if I hear it. I appreciate the talent that goes into the music. I'll even sing along since a lot of the songs fit my vocal range.

I just don't seem to have the reaction that other women I know have to these people. They don't mean anything special to me. I am not 'deeply touched' by them.

I think maybe I traded that gene in for the 'appreciate fast shiny things' gene.

On an entirely different note...

It has been a long, long time since I've found a book that will try to drag me away from work. This book is actively trying to pull me away from doing what I should be doing to go and read it. While that isn't going to happen, I can certainly appreciate the fact that it is that good.

I am reading Rhapsody by Elizabeth Hadyon.

The lovely part is there are like three books after this one. Mmmmmm.
