Mmm, Saturday! Get to sleep until I wake up--not. Maybe tomorrow?
Still, got a bit more sleep than any night this week, so that was good. Went to a football game, sat on the second row. Kind of intense. *And* "my" team won! I contributed. I did! I screamed my lungs out. *cough cough* Which wasn't really that hard, since the SB and I both seem to be coming down with a cold. Ugh. The dangers of working in an office? Can't remember the last time I had a cold. And I liked it that way!! Felt like sheer lukewarm crap by the time I got home yesterday, but I forced myself to go out to a little thing the arty kids were putting on. Some poetry readings, some music pieces, and some art. Hope it was just my own general crappy feeling, but I was pretty underwhelmed with the whole presentation. The readers may have had some decent poetry, but their delivery, except for two, was pretty limp. The violin and bass duo were brave. I'll leave it at that. The singer was pretty good, though, and I don't even like opera that much. And the jazz quartet did a bang up job. I think I was feeling extra bad by the time I went across the street to the art show, cuz I just didn't "get" any of the photos and all the art except the animations just was not reaching me. Several of the animations were actually pretty cool. The art should be up for a few days, so maybe I'll go back when I'm feeling better and take another look.
Trees are starting to turn here. And with all the rain we had this summer, it looks like maybe we'll actually get some colors instead of the usual green-brown-gone-in-three-days fall fiasco we are usually treated to.
Got to listen to a couple of "Roderick on the Line"s during my commute. Some interesting ideas John and Merlin put forth. Like, maybe *every* body, every person, should have the right to live with a little dignity, a modicum of comforts, and not just the "worthy". Not very Puritan of them, that's for sure. |
