SoC #30
October 30th, 2009
- How strange to hunger for some pure fiction reading as
- I usually devour anything but that
- yet nothing yields true in my quest to sate my mental appetite
- even some of the Young Adult books borrowed for others
- and ebooks is similarly lacking despite the many titles that come up
- downloading Karmic Koala now, just 17 more minutes
- but its too late to burn and reboot now
- weekend you can’t come soon enough!
- just one more day for the man
- then two for me and mine
- found a couple things cleaning, and thought of two things I can’t find
- with all the titles in my home, not finding something to read for a few minutes before turning in is well
- very unsatisfying to say the least
- I go through the motions but don’t put enough of myself into those present moments so
- some workouts and other exercises seem hollow
- but better than not doing them
- and certainly better than putting thoughts energy and time into negatives
- one thing to slide trying to hold fast quite another to just run in the wrong direction
- trying to build some momentum to slingshot around
- the dark winter months
- and emerge in the spring ready
- rather than have to gather strength then and start from scratch
- but running in winter is its own special discipline
- dark and cold, dark and cold, step by step but what a way to start the days
- with sunrises and serotonin storms in the brain, and those late afternoon lulls are weakening as my body and spirit grows stronger
- but such noble habits are fragile and have to maintain the string
- Seinfeldian chains and such
- Run on S’s and T’s, short of that at least 3 days a week weather permitting mornings
- that download meter lies as its still saying 17 minutes now
- but maybe I’m in the dark territory of my home WiFi
- and those packets keep colliding
- an old game appeared in the mail from an ebay auction that thoroughly
- entertained us a few years ago (and promptly the disk hid itself thereafter)
- hoping its still fun, but not as addicting as it was those 100+ hrs the two last weeks of 2004
- maybe I hook up the projector and we can play it on the large screen with the speakers cranked
- for the full effect but patience for the right time
- it would hardly fit into the schedule now with HW and world series but
- there isn’t a game tomorrow night…
- it could even be an inventive incentive to get HW done early for some gaming fun
- I’d trade game time for TV time but
- that Nova episode on Darwin teeters precariously on the edge of extinction on my DVR
- and it behaves much better when its only 80% gorged with my TV programs
- not much more frustrating than a weeks worth of shows recorded missing the last few minutes of each
- so there will be blood, a disgorging of shows
- and I finally found something interesting to browse
- a book at ebook.nypl about influential characters that never lived
- or fictional people that have influenced us like
- the Marlboro Man to mickey mouse to Spock, now
- morphing those guys together surely would make for a fun dance partner.
