(very non-) Typical day
WARNING: this is just a mind flow – no punctuation. Spelling is probably bad. No sentence structure - I am tired and lazy!
Woke up early enough – started doing homework – was supposed to drive adam to class @ 9:30 – he postponed until 12:30
Got homework half done – drank tea – made josh drive me to school because I would have been late otherwise
Mike talked about how he wished the USA had health insurance like Canada – I slowly got more and more furious at the thought. I have been trying to live a healthy preventative lifestyle. I know he has had heart problems, used to smoke, and who knows what his diet is like – why should I have to pay for his bad choices? Missed half the lesson because I was so peeved.
you made the choice – you pay the consequences – i am not referring to accidents with this statement – they happen – but most American’s (expensive) problems are an accumulation of poor lifestyle changes – not broken arms or whatever.
after class met with Mike and Hutomo about SL goals – totally forgot about driving adam until 12:30 – had to arrange for Josh to drive him even though Josh had stayed up all night and was sleeping. Ate a quick bite during that stuff. then walked to Personal Transformation – it was cold. By that time I was pretty excited to bring home the mac. Class was good – that class is always good. Real eye opener.
Josh picked me up and then I went and got the computer – brought it home – cleaned house a bit – mostly to make a decent space for the thing. vacuumed kitty litter, moved magic cards, straightened LR. Started unpacking mac and noticed condensation – called bookstore about it simply a matter of temperature difference – let the thing warm up for a few hours to be safe – unpacked suitcase from casino – did more house straightening – and a little dvd burning
Then took Josh to work – went to target – found josh a cool cheap shirt – then adam txt me about the ride home – i had totally forgotten – check out lines at target were CRZY so i ended up leaving the shirt and rushing to get adam, After I dropped him off i went to Moxie and then the library to get Shell Game – got it and went home – started unpacking mac more – got it up and running and sis txted – wanted to go work out – it was a tough decision but I ended up going to work out for a half hour while adobe installed on my machine, twas good.
Got back from working out and just started in on the mac – bookmarks> check, add ons> check, twitter>check etc etc. Pretty close to a great environment now. still have to adjust adobe workspace layouts.
There were sprinklings of cute cat happenings throughout the night.
Josh got home and we went to find food – ended up going to chashwise to get groceries. got salad fixins. http://www.flickr.com/photos/epizoic/3294745404/
came home – josh was doing dishes so we didn’t start cooking until 9:30 or so. Watched Big Bang Theory while eating. Then back to mac. Then showered. Now typing. So much I still want to do tonight – will have to wait until tomorrow. I adore this computer.
A few more things I am grateful for

Shooting Star
Last night after Josh was done with work he told me that his friends invited him to go to the casino – it turned out to be a pretty good time although I had originally planned to just relax at home. After a very chilly drive there (smoker in the car had the window down…brr) I realized that I have actually been at that casino before! My memory is so bad – which is the main reason I am trying to write more… Turns out my aunt and I went to that same casino to see the Vagina Monologues last year.
I played some of the penny slots – not fun. No control and no strategy…. Josh and I eventually wondered over to the bar and I got the best mixed drink I’ve ever had. It was just a rum and coke but it tasted perfect. The had some cool keno multi-games embedded in the bar so i played some Joker Poker and Deuces Wild. I probably could have sat there for a long time but the guys were ready to go. I was actually able to make money at those games – doubled my five bucks into ten a couple times.
A few things I am grateful for
happy hour at Moxie
running water
internet access
my car
my ipod touch
family
I don’t steal
I go into people’s houses and steal stuff – in my dreams….
I was very aware of my pounding headache in my dreams this morning. I also had a false awakening where I got out of bed, went into the office, and found a box spilled onto the floor and smoke streaming from somewhere. I tried to find where the smoke was coming from but my eyes kept going wonky – sometimes when i am dreaming my functions shut down – this time i was going blind. Then on top of that my body got stuck in a crouched position so I had to wake up.
Before that false start I dreamt about walking through a sunny neighborhood – entering someones home – and gathering some of their stuff together. I think I was going to take the items but then someone started snooping around the house and I took off. As I left the house I saw an interesting vision of a row of houses – somewhat backlit by the setting sun, with two large pillars which looked more like lollipops in front. It was kind of pretty.
I also dreamt about dogs, family, giong to a movie, my eyes being fucked up (this was because I was so aware of my headache), an outerspace platform, and who knows what else.

A world free of povertyAudio Listen to program (53:00s)Muhammad Yunus December 15, 2006In 1974, economist Muhammad Yunus had a simple idea for lifting people in his native Bangladesh out of poverty: make tiny loans to help poor people, mostly women, start small businesses. On Dec. 10, Yunus officially received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. Yunus explained his vision for a poverty-free world in a Nov. 20 speech at the National Press Club.

More Web Album Wars
Soo, since my awesome sister got me and awesome Flickr Pro account I have decided how I am giong to organize my media. I am gonna use my unlimited sets, collections, and storage space in Flickr for photos and will use Picasa Web Albums for video. Woo! I found this works best because I use Picasa to organize photos on my hard drive then use the Picasa2Flickr button to upload photos to Flickr. One problem I discovered is that the Picasa2Flickr button doesn’t work too well for videos but just using the normal Web Album button works great.
Other stuff >
So, I’ve really been feeling like throwing some php into my personal sites and dolling them up a bit but so far haven’t had the time. I don’t anticipate I will be able to do much for the next two weeks either. It is such a bummer when you have creative ambition but no time. It is probably worse to have lots of time but no ambition…maybe.
Important stuff > I love my boyfriend! Joshua is so wonderful! He tries very hard to make and keep me happy even through the times when I am being stubbornly grumpy.
Random Synchronous Twitch
After walking the dog, exploring the internet, and eating breakfast I peeked into my bedroom and saw Josh still in bed. I was feeling sorta nappish so I crawled back into bed at about 2pm, as I was on the brink of being asleep something quite common happened…. I twitched forcefully.
I do this sometimes when I am falling asleep. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for its occurrence. Today’s twitch was a little different though. Josh twitched at *exactly* the same time. Hence “Random Synchronous Twitch” as Josh named it. Josh came up with a somewhat unnerving explanation for the RST. It must have occurred when the aliens put us back…. Seems plausible to me but I am unable to determine if there was any time loss, and I don’t remember any lights etc….
Harmony!
My home has been feeling very harmonious lately! I was concerned that bringing Deojie into our home would throw everything out of whack… I was worried that Greight would just hide day and night. Things have turned out really smoothly so far. Today Deojie was laying at my feet and Greight strolled out of the bedroom. She walked right up to the dog, sniffed her face/nose – even touching…and then hopped into my lap! The dog just laid there – interested in the cat but not showing any aggression. I am so impressed with my pets’ behavior! They still have some moments of tension but generally they are living well together. I wish I had a photo of that moment but alas – like trying to measure small atomic particals, observation would have altered the state.
This is a photo from another peaceful encounter.
