partly cloudy with a chance of entropy....

I had a good night last night, despite the fact that the Red Wings lost and are out of the playoffs. It was an excellent game and for once I can't blame Cujo for it at all. It wasn't his fault. When the defence collapses in front of you, it is only a matter of time. I just wish we could have held on another 40 seconds and sent it into the second overtime. It makes me a little sad because there are /a lot/ of guys on that team retiring after this year. Especially if they can't come to an agreement on salary and there is a lockout next year.

It was good hockey, good conversation and good roleplaying last night. I got to sleep early and it made it more difficult to get up in the morning. What's with that? I hate that.

Like my new icon? I got it here. There are whole bunches of them. Marci? LOTS for you. And one of you should get the Luthor/Ross in 2004 for one. You know. Just because.

Anyway.... Time for work now.

What to say... what to say...

I find myself thinking about where I want to go for Christmas. Right now I know I want to go visit family but I am not at all certain where. To be truly honest, making a trip down to Vegas for Christmas is sounding really, really good right now. Will that sound good in another month, another few months? I have no idea. Just heading to Vegas sounds like something I'd like to do.

While I've gotten the traveling bug out of my system for a little bit of time, I am still thinking of places to go and things to do. I think this is coming from all of the people around me moving in the near future. And luckily for me almost all of them are moving closer this time. That alone will make the summer, particularily later July, interesting.

Maybe things will change. Maybe they will stay the same. I, personally, am voting for change. I like change. Sure, it's scary and freaky but change is a good thing. I like to shake things up, as long as it isn't all the time.

That's the problem with work right now. Nothing has a chance to settle before it is changed again. I feel as though I've been told that I have to run as fast as I can but only when a certain thing happens. And that certain thing changes every day and all of the things previous are happening. "Wait... was I waiting for that? Or.. am I waiting for something else...?"

Despite my complaining, I do like it here. I do, generally, like my job. I'm just /always/ wondering if there isn't something else I should/could/would like to be doing. Nothing I think of seems to stick with me long enough for it to be a true drive, something I really want to do.

Of course, that's me. Though I do a lot of circling around and what looks like backtracking at times, I'm always moving in some direction, somewhere.

For every though I type out here there are another ten I don't express. Not looking for advice, just looking for a place to pool thoughts, so I can get these out of the way and move on to the next set.

I should finish my Peloponesian War reading. I have a lot of it. I'll finish Sethra Lavode and then go back to reading about long dead people and long finished conflicts.

And now for your entertainment...

Or not... A sampling of my thoughts as I went to get lunch.

Texas. What the hell?

It's lovely out today. Sun, clouds and wind. If I could order up days, I'd order me a whole bunch of these.

I want a car. I kind of wanted a car a few months ago but the desire to be able to get in my car and drive far, far away if I want is becoming a slow burning obsession. I ust find a way to do this car thing. Soon.

Ooooooh! Country Chicken Vegetable soup. Yum.

Hillary Duff. Not that cute. Kind of scary.

I need more authors and more subjects to read. Been awhile since I found a subject I was passionate about. During my Joan kick I checked out all of the books on her in the Seattle library system.

I should learn Latin.

Cookies! Lemonade! Wheeeeeee! Mmmmm. This soup is really good.

The next song is gonna be that Green Day song. The one that goes, "She... She screams in silence.." or something like that. Good music day.
