a couple of old guys just wanted me to look up “inert material” on askjeeves.com. doesn’t inert mean that it’s dead? like “inert gases?” they were talking about some bomb stuff that had been found or something and that it was “inert material but it could have exploded.” hmm. i was pretty much no help to them. but at least i was interacting with other human beings.
i went running at washington park earlier; it was perfect outside, slightly brisk, really lovely for running. i stretched and got in my car…and then it started to pour down rain. how’s that for good timing? maybe things will pick up, maybe this is a good omen, maybe…ok, there goes that moronic optimism rearing its big dumb head again.
as i was cooling down, i walked around the conservatory and found a labrynth garden. i thought that was pretty cool. i’ve never walked around on that side of the conservatory before. the labrynth needs to grow a little, though, because right now it’s not very…labrynthical.
here’s another photo from the show. i don’t know if it’s too small to see, but i was making a really funny face here for some reason:
as i’ve said, i have millions of these show photos. here’s a few more:
oh, and here’s a photo of me with my new blonde hair:
i’m still waiting for the “have more fun” part of being a blonde. it’s all about attitude, though, i’ve decided. if i THINK i’m having fun, then i will have fun. it’s all in my head. actually, i became blonde when i was about 16, and remained blonde for years and years, and i don’t think i ever had THAT much fun being blonde. i was a brunette for a little while, and i know that wasn’t so much fun. being a redhead was all right, except i never ever felt like i was really a redhead. it’s kind of like trying to feel like i’m really a runner. no matter how much running i do, i don’t feel like one of those REAL runners who run.
Last night Thad was telling me about how people have different body types. he said he’s an…ectomorph. that means he’s basically prone to skinniness. he broke his shoulder not that long ago, so he hasn’t been able to work out, so even though he’s sitting around eating ALL THE TIME, he’s losing weight. go figure. we had a discussion about what kind of body type i am, but we couldn’t come to an agreement. there are two more types, the endomorph and the mesomorph. i just looked it up online (REALLY FAST, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH-SPEED WIFI!), and the mesomorph woman has an hourglass figure, which is me. but also they said the emsomorph has thick skin, tans easily, and has a face that is “cubicle” in shape. a face like a CUBE? nope, not me. the endomorph is basically…fat. roseanne, john goodman and jack black are listed as famous endomorphs. qualities include a spherical face, fine hair, smooth skin, plus general chubbiness.
i guess maybe i’m a combination. combinations include “ecto mesomorphs, or endo mesomorphs, where largely, they are like the mesomoph, but with traits of the ectomorph (such as small joints or a trim waist), or traits of the endomorph (such as a tendency to gain fat easily).”
am i boring you here? because i’m starting to bore myself all of a sudden. the thing is that you can look up ANYTHING online ALL THE TIME.
when i had a boring job sitting at a desk all day long in LA, i did, indeed look up stuff all the time. it always seemed there was something i needed to research, so i got good money (plus health benefits and paid vacations) for looking stuff up for myself.
damn, i know there were other VITAL things i wanted to write today, but now i can’t remember them. i hope your weekend is a good one, even though here in spfld it’s going to be DOWNRIGHT COLD. it’s supposed to get down to 31 tonight. i’m blocking that out of my mind. i’ve already gotten my summer clothes out, and i unplugged my electric blanket and hurled it to the floor.
ok then,
grace living here in my own reality.
