Not much of an intro today. It was a low-key weekend (after the out-way-too-late game night, at least) and a busy Monday.
It’s going to be hot and humid the rest of the week. Can’t say I care much for that combination. Hopefully, the A/C unit can handle it.
Anyway, on with the catch-up feed…
Was just on a trip down memory lane with a friend I met long ago in a hotel.
She’s one of the handful of people I’m still in touch with that I met during Key Club conventions in high school. Those weekend-long conventions were some of the best times I ever had in high school. Definitely some of the few times I was really able to start figuring out who I really was back then.
Only a handful or so of those meetings turned into friendships. A few of them faded over the years… but some, despite some periods of prolonged silence, have held strong and show no signs of really fading.
In fact, because of things like Facebook, I’m interacting with these scattered kindred spirits more now than I have… ever.
This is why I dig the Internet so much.
It makes stuff like this possible.
That’s why I so badly want everyone to have it… and for it to remain as open and wild as it is right now.
Anyway, here’s the other highlights from today’s feed… mostly news that I wouldn’t have heard otherwise for days, if ever. (Another point for the Internet!)
Most of today was spent buried under many lines of code and text revisions. There wasn’t a whole lot of time (well, time that wasn’t spent in meetings) for anything else.
I’m sure I missed out on a lot of interesting stuff–with how the Facebook feed works these days, I may see some of it pop up over the next few days… but I’m not online quite as much over the weekend (usually).
I’m exhausted from the week. Technology and transportation have regularly conspired against me and just worn me the hell out.
The weekend has some good time with friends planned. Hopefully that’ll help, because Monday arrives with a full-burn final thrust on one project and a lot of catch-up on another.
wheee…. :-/
Sometime, my mind does really awesome things at night. Like craft amazing worlds and situations that put any movie to shame with their expanse and visual wonders.
Last night was not one of those night.
Last night the dream that my mind generated was, at best, a B-grade rode trip rock ‘n’ roll farce. Likely brought on by going to bed really wanting to watch Get Him to the Greek.
Mine involved some wild huge group trip to a big deal concert by some big name band. A total experience thing that involved staying up all night before in an airport before getting on board the secret plane to the concert location.
Well, hilarity ensued and there were baggage problems, missed connections, and a lot of running from point A to point B only to find out we actually needed to be at point C. Two of my friends made an appearance in the dream, on definitely as themselves, the other cast by whatever third rate casting director my brain employed for nothing more than their enthusiasm (because the character they played most certainly didn’t have the brains my actual friend does).
And just when all seemed lost, the hero arrived to save the day.
Billy Joel!
As played my Michael Keaton.
Seriously.
WTF mind? You couldn’t use the actual celebrity? It’s not like dream him is busy somewhere else. Right?
So, yeah, I woke up right before the (inevitable) big turn around in the brain film, so I was even cheated out of what would surely have been an epic (or epicly bad) grand finale… likely on the level of Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.
~sigh~ Here’s hoping there’s more of a budget for tonight’s slumbering entertainment.
