i’m suddenly running out of time. just in general. i got home from class and did some schoolwork-type stuff which really just involved e-mailing papers to class that i’d already written, but suddenly it’s 10:30 and i just wanted to WATCH SEX & THE CITY, and i know i need to just quit this stupid new obsession because it is taking up too much of my time but right now i have it on and there’s a COMMERCIAL, so i’m able to do this AND that.
not so bad.
not like the weather outside, which is so bad that maybe i’m just going to ignore it for the rest of winter.
and they’re THE BLACK EYED PEAS, by the way; both P. (Ponce de Leon) and Christine wrote to me about it. because they know. people who know. and who take time from their very very busy lives to write and give me important information like that. P. says he knows a lot about pop culture, and i know christine does, she doesn’t even have to tell me that. she knows. she gets around.
what about when i break down and buy the whole sex & the c. set? then i’ll just want to sit around ALL THE TIME and watch it. but i will be able to do it when i have time. this will be good. that’s my lone new year’s resolution, to buy the set.
i just got over a cold JUST. i mean, LAST WEEK. and now it appears that i’m getting another one. isn’t there some kind of rule that if you get a cold, you then don’t get any anymore, like not for a year, at least? not IMMEDIATELY after the other one, my cough hadn’t even completely gone away. but i’m attacking this one with more vigilance, because i have no free time for a cold. zinc, emergen-C, lots and lots of liquids, plus i drug out all the drugs i got from the last time and i’m about to start taking them. i can’t find one of them, but i know it’s around here somplace.
today was busy, but tomorrow the busy-ness increases. no time for a cold. no time.
the s&tc is over now; they’re just not as good all edited and made clean for network television. but still awfully good. and i continue to be amazed at how many of them i’ve never seen. so if i QUIT watching them now, then i’ll have all all-new ones to watch when i buy them. tonight they were in la. i thought about if maybe this is a sign that i should move back there. it was all about how fake and bad things are there, but i don’t care about the fakeness, i was focusing on the blue skies and sitting out by the pool.
eight degrees this morning. EIGHT.
this afternoon kurt and i edited for a while. we made some progress. we finished one video, and i think it’s funny. kurt actually laughed a few times, and he’s not a laughing kind of guy, usually. so that’s a good sign. maybe tomorrow we’ll finish another one.
because i haven’t moved from my green couch since the show was over ten minutes ago, i started flipping channels, and sarah jessica parker is on the tonight show with jay leno, MY ARCH ENEMY. she is hawking her new perfume and claims that she’s had a dream of creating a perfume for 20 years.
i haven’t ever even thought of anything like that. ever. never ever.
no 20 year-old dreams at all, that i can think of, as a mattef of fact.
this whole tv thing, i’m not going to get sucked into watching it again. there, turned it off. no more of that. it would be nice to be listening to some kind of mellow music right now, and sometimes i think of that, but most of the time i forget. and if i happen to turn on the music, which i rarely do, then i just tune it out once i start writing and then after a while i realize the music has stopped. but in theory it would be nice to have some music. where’s my favorite xmas cd? around here someplace. proabably wherever the cold medicine is.
tonight to class i wore sweats, but i knew that the wind would whip through them on the horrible trudge from parking lot to class, so i wore long underwear under them. they were very toasty warm, and i still have them on, and they’re still toasty warm. just a small bit too warm, but better than too cold.
ok now, i feel like i’m just sitting here stalling, because i have a little moe work to do before i go to sleep, and i NEED TO GO TO SLEEP EARLIER, in order to keep up my fight against the encroaching cold. which i am not going to get.
ok ok ok,
december grace.
