Day 3,688: Brush

Once again, the pups have confiscated my lap and will not allow me to write this blog entry on my iPad. Both Joy and Tommen are back to back on my lap. Sigh. I love it so much.

Got up and watched the Bahrain Grand Prix. Had my normal breakfast because we’re all stocked in the fridge and pantry. So nice! I think tomorrow I might watch the F2 race as well. See if this hotshot young driver turns out to be as good as everyone thinks he is.

Then took a shower and went over to see Liz and Ali fo...

Day 3,777: Spazzy

The fridge is full of food!

Went shopping today. First of the month. Got a crapload of all the stuff we’ll need for the month, grocery-wise. Pups and kitties have food. All is well.

Quiet week at work. Decent amount of downtime. I definitely don’t feel like I really took advantage of that, but I also didn’t piss the week away. I got stuff done. Rough outline on book 4. Getting my head wrapped around book 5. Got some reading put together.

And podcasting tonight was delightful. Watched Hi...

Day 3,776: Cow Tube

Way late tonight because I went to see Dune 2 with my bud Reed, and it was super fun. Not perfect, but it gets a “see it!” from me.

Quiet day, but got some good stuff done.

Night night.

Day 3,775: Navalny

It’s already past bed time, so a short one this evening. It was because we stayed up to watch Navalny all the way to the end, the doc made a couple years ago after the Russian opposition leader had recovered from the nerve agent attack against him and was preparing to return to Russia. He did, and he was arrested in the airport. He died in prison a couple years later, just last week.

It’s a very good documentary. Very much worth watching.‘

Day 3,684: Hyperion

A banner day for movies, out of nowhere.

I’m halfway through Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. It’s been on my list to watch for a while, now; ever since watching his Solaris really and absolutely being blown away by it. Solaris is the only film I’ve ever seen that does what 2001 does. Sooooooo maaaannnyyy movies and filmmakers have tried to do what that movie does, and none of them do it. Except Solaris. So…Tarkovsky’s other scifi-ish film has been on the list.

What. The fuck. Was I WAITING FO...

Day 3,683: Worf 359

A solid day. Last night was an adventure though; literally right after turning out the lights to fall asleep, Joy decided to puke in bed. All over the sheets. And the mattress below. So, it was a quick strip of the bed, tossing the sheets into the wash, dabbing off the mattress (and febreezing it), and then making the bed all over again. Which we’d done a couple hours earlier already because it was Sunday.

And then she puked again. This time, Liz was able to snatch her off the bed in time.

Day 3,682: Chaos > Order

I wasn’t sure what kind of day this was going to be for me today. I didn’t have anything planned, per se. I just wanted to wake up and see how I felt. Was wiped out and exhausted a few days ago at the end of last week, and this weekend was going to offer a couple slivers here and there to kinda recharge.

I did recharge today, but not in the way I expected. I cleaned! I did five loads of laundry (only two of our clothes, obvs – the rest was sheets and towels and whatnot), and I did two power m...
