It goes on and on, my friend

With a boot disk, I can access the hard drive fine, so it's probably either a virus or a corrupt system file or something. Hopefully that means I can fix it, but I haven't felt like dealing with it tonight. Later.

The fam bought an old used truck, just because we've been needing one to haul stuff around in. I'm pitching in half so there will be another vehicle around and not such a pinch when Carrie and/or Leslie gets their license. It's weird, I used to be meticulous about keeping my checkbook balanced and all my purchases logged and categorized on the computer. Now I just spend money and never look at my balance. What a 180.

Someone help me find a bed frame headboard thing! My comforter is a brown suede-ish type thing. Here's my pick so far: http://www.totalbedroom.com/crawford.html

One of the ideas I've been tossing around lately is that TV is just stupid. Except for a few shows like Buffy and Stargate, I mostly never remember much about the show and don't even really enjoy it all that much, and defintiely do not feel like I'm any better for having watched it. I'm even starting to feel that way about a lot of movies too. I think that perhaps I've gone too far to the extreme with how much I watch, so I'm going to try to cut it back a lot. Only watch stuff that I REALLY like. That started with removing 17 movies from my Blockbuster queue that I didn't even want to see that much.

This week has been really good, and it's made me think about how much time I spend on throw away crap that just passes the time. I'm not saying I want non stop balls to the wall action, because I find things like cooking and reading really enjoyable and good for the soul (in general, books influence me and my thinking much more than TV or movies). But I do want to cut back on stuff that is essentially wasting hours of my life every day. I do want to try to spend more time hanging out with people and doing stuff.



There's something else I've been feeling lately too. I haven't been able to figure it out quite yet, but it just feels like some sort of... undercurrent. I know it's a little silly, but I feel like something big is building and might be popping up at any moment. I think it's going to be a good thing, but I'm not entirely positive yet.

Argh like a pirate. Anticipation for {whatever,nothing} is constantly nagging at me. What it sort of feels like is that there is a connection I need to make, but I can't see it and may just miss it if I don't act in time. So here's a wish that I'll get the help I need to be able to see this before it's too late.

Gosh. That was lame, and didn't actually make the issue any less vague in my own head.
