Ha!



I'm completely down-to-earth!

Got this recurring dream.

I set a snake loose in the garden.

I only had the best intentions.

Wanted to help the little creature.

It seemed about to die in a rocky place.

I forgot that songbirds live in the garden.

Now there is a predator loose among them

and I don't have a way to take it back.

Watching Earth Girls Are Easy on TV tonight.
Jeff Goldblum is such a hottie.

I had a nicer time than I anticipated at the potluck yesterday. Met some nice people that I could actually come close to holding a conversation with and had some good home cooking. I'm awful at small talk and social graces. Mostly, at gatherings of strangers, I like to watch and try to stay out of the way.

Today I bought groceries and the sunday paper. Then went out to late lunch and hung out with Spike in east Atlanta.

Got to watch Farscape on someone else's television last night. Still mourning the loss of the SciFi Channel on my basic cable account.

Read in this month's Health magazine Tip of the Month: Socialize. Researchers found that soungbirds living in large groups have more new brain neurons than those alone. Those findings "indicate that flocking to social activities might be just the boost your brain needs."

With that in mind, I'm planning to go to a potluck neighborhood gathering today.

I'm finally home from my holiday in Paris, France. The city of Paris is beautiful. The people are beautiful. The food, wines, cheese, and bakeries are wonderful. The museums and history of the city are incredible. What can I say - it's Paris.

And I have my computer back and working again, too. Now I'm starting to settle back into a regular daily schedule again.

I'll be glad when I get my computer back from RetroTech.
I'll be glad to get my personal website back up and running.
It's been a beautiful sunny day here in Atlanta. Tomorrow I fly out of town.

My computer is in the shop this week, so I'm having to depend on the kindness of friends who let me log online using their machines this week. Next week I'm in Paris and I pray I can leave all my cares behind for the week, drinking the waters of the the river Lethe.

Note to self this week:
Most the people are wonderful, but some people do suck and will always refuse to get along with anyone no matter how hard others try to be nice to them.
Focus on the positive.

Dreamed about Moby last night, which is probably a much more wholesome image than the Tim Curry dream a while back.
I'm working on positive personal imagery these days.

Started the day visiting fruit stands and buy fresh tomatos that are in season now.
Still have to do lat minute things for my trip to France at the end of the month.

Mothers Day Shopping today. Will the gift be a hit or will it end up still in the original shrink wrap years later? It's the effort that counts.

Checked out the new Apple store at Lenox Square today, which makes me very happy.

Take the What High School Stereotype Are You? quiz, by Angel.

OmyGod - it was so slow at work that they sent me home after just half
a day.

My paycheck will suck air this week.

Last night was fun, though. Went with Sandy to see Lord Of The Rings
(finally!) at the huge Hollywood 24 movie megaplex. It was a long film
but I swear it went by so quickly I never felt the squirming impatience
that I usually get halfway through a movie. Really great stuff and very
true to the books except where necessary - and then the bits were simply
extrapolated, not changed.

It was a slow Monday at the office. Probably just as well that things were slow today because the film processor was down all day. Something about the power going out over the weekend has caused something to stop working. Thankfully, a few small jobs came trickling in at the end of the day for me to work on in the morning.

Sunday, went to see the matinee of SpiderMan. Fun action flick - Spidey was one of my favorite comic books when I was a kid. Followed by going shopping at ShoeMakers Warehouse but not finding anything I liked in my size or price range (probably a blessing of sorts).

Spike came by and hung out with me in the evening, watching food TV and sampling the vegan enchiladas I made the night before. Watching all the Cinco de Mayo themed cooking shows, I voiced some regret at not going out for "real" mexican cooking and a margarita as the host of A Cook's Tour drank shots of tequilla. It was 11 p.m. and his consolation was "there's no place to have a margarita on a Sunday in Atlanta anyway" "yes there is- at a restaurant." "Okay. Lets go now if you want a margarita" at which point I wimped out for fear of being out too late when I had to get up early the next morning.
