Wonder Do you ever wonder why phonetics isn't spelled the way it sounds? Or why is dyslexia so hard to spell? Do kamikaze pilots wear helmets? How do you find the little clear plastic disc that is your lost contact lens devoid of the enhanced vision it exists to provide? IF aliens are so smart, why do they always abduct the stupidest people? These are a sample of the questions that keep me tossing and turning at night. posted by me 10:12 AM . . .
No Dress So I may not have had a wedding dress, but I did sleep for approximately 13 hours last night. I feel much better today. Sometimes we just need to shut down for a little while... restart if you will. Rest is a wonderful thing. I fell asleep yesterday to the whir of my fan, gently rocking my senses to sweet slumber. If I had dreams or nightmares last night, they are unrecallable. I prefer to leave dreams to the day and nightmares for the depths of time. Unfortunately, my dreams rarely come to realization and my all-too-lifelike nightmares often jolt me awake in the middle of the night with sweaty forehead and pounding chest. Well, as long as they leave my waking hours to search for dreams, I shall not mind them when the night has passed. posted by me 11:16 AM . . .
I feel positively sluggish today. If I had a wedding dress I'd have half a mind to throw it on and lay myself up in bed like old Miss Havisham till the end of my days. posted by me 2:40 PM . . .
I haven't seen the twin grannies since Easter. I'm beginning to worry. posted by me 10:24 AM . . .
Hades' Comma This is what I will be discussing this lunch hour. Instead of curling up with a book and a nice chicken portabella sandwich from JJs, I'll be sitting with a number of nice, fun, wise, yet opinionated members of our Board debating the meaning of the most onerous comma ever typed. ugh. We've been pondering this comma since November and the last discussion of it was two hours long. Well, they've been pondering, I just take minutes that sum up two hours of discussion in: Updated the X situation. Looks like I won't be at my desk for a while this afternoon. posted by me 10:56 AM . . .
Things I thought about this weekend: I had a number of hours in the car to just think to myself this weekend. Of course, I tried to drown out the opportunity with loud music and caffiene, but nonetheless, I ended up having some time to ponder. I spend a large portion of my thoughts attempting to discern the innerworkings of others. How does someone else perceive a situation, those around them, themselves, me? Even with close friends you can't always guess what people are thinking, so why are we so bent on trying? A large part of me believes that we do this, or at least I do, due to a desire for control. It has always bugged me that I can't control what people think about me. I can try to shape their views, but I can no more master the thoughts of others than time travel. Then a shocking question aroused in my mind: what do I think about things? Perhaps too often we focus on what others may or may not be thinking so as to avoid coming to our own conclusions. It's much 'easier' to suppose an outcome than to actually make yourself consider reality. So, new goal: figure out what the heck I think. posted by me 8:20 AM . . .
