if you had to sit inside all day today, i’m sorry, but please, please, go outside tomorrow. it’s going to be lovely yet again. it was so warm today that i had to turn on my air conditioning in the car! crazy.
i bought three pieces of lavender luggage. it’s very lovely, and hopefully it won’t fall apart when i take it to denver.
i’m drinking a DIET COKE WITH LIME right now. this is like drinking two cups of coffee, for all you coffee drinkers. no caffeine for me usually, but i need it right now.
today somebody told me that jekyll & hyde is “very dark.” oh brother. i hope i don’t hate it.
i’d like to see wallace and grommit tonight instead, but i have to go because randy is in it.
my aunt sandy is here now; she brought me a beautiful painting of two kitties that she did. folk art, she calls it. maybe i’ll take a photo of it and post it here. i wonder if it would turn out? i’ll try.
i came very very close to finally FINALLY making a new video. i called kurt this week, and we were going to shoot one or maybe even two of them, but he’s going away tomorrow and won’t be back for a week. i have the video camera, i have the software for creating a video on my computer, but i don’t have the knowledge to actually put the video on the website. i need to learn how to do it. but i can’t learn next week because kurt will be gone.
at least i came close! soon, SOON, i will have another video, and then, WATCH OUT, because i’ll have more and more of them.
i wrote a column for the spfld roadrunner’s newsletter today. didn’t work on the play, but i FEEL that i’ll get to it this weekend, despite the much busy-ness. i have to get going on the play, because TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
i read the paper briefly this afternoon, and it’s pretty much too depressing to think about. the thousands of people who died in the pakistan earthquake, and there are going to be 2.3 million people homeless, but they said they’re getting 2 million blankets, so that leaves .3 million people BLANKETLESS, and winter is almost there.
and the avian flu has spread to europe, and even though countries are starting to panic and stockpile viruses, they didn’t give enough to the UN to combat the actual flu that the birds now have. see, if they could eradicate the flu IN THE BIRDS, then WE WOULDN’T GET IT.
doesn’t it seem extremely painfully obvious that this needs to be done?
but they requested the money over two years ago, and they got a paltry amount compared to the amount they requested.
i don’t even want to read the paper anymore.
also, i forgot to mention this, there’s a story here in spfld about somebody stealing a red-tailed hawk from the zoo. the hawk can’t survive in the wild because he doesn’t know how to hunt. they caught the cretin who stole him – the guy wanted the bird to “fly free.” instead, if they can’t find him, he’ll probably die, either hit by a car or he’ll starve to death.
cretin.
maybe the hawk will be found, but these hawks are very common, so he’ll be hard to spot, except he’ll be low to the ground, and he probably won’t fly away if you spot him.
whew, too many bad things. and now i’m going to go see a VERY DARK PLAY.
hopefully it’ll be dark and entertaining.
and tomorrow, the cat show, which i know will be entertaining.
ok ok ok, the weekend awaits.
