Nothing to say. I have not been sleeping well this past few days. I am tired. Everyday, the sky is just a little more pink as I drive to werk. I have been able to actually discern a horizon recently, and soon I will be driving to work in beautiful sunshine. Who knows? Some day soon, I might get to come home in the sunlight, as well.


Some people say that bowling alleys have big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
Had a dream last night but I forget what it was

Had a dream last night about you my friend
Had a dream I wanted to sleep next to plastic
Had a dream I wanted to lick your knees
Had a dream it was about nothing

I really like the new Sacagewea dollar coin.

Hrothgar has a new girlfriend. It's more like Bride of Frankenstein. Taji can't keep her little Onion-kitty at her mom's so Shane has acquired her. She is cute as a button, and she can be quite a darling. However (and at the risk of cries of sexism), Onion carries with her the difficult personality that every female cat I have encountered has. They just never seem to want to cuddle up and be your pal. They are always strung out about something. Male kitties seem to be much more relaxed and fun. Now, Hrothgar's last girlfriend, Sammi, was able to have her moments, and I think she and the big H. actually grew to enjoy each other. But Onion follows Hrothgar around the house, hissing and growling at him. He doesn't seem to be affected by this, but she is so persistent in her (dare-I-say?) nagging that he occasionally pounces toward her in a threatening manner. Then he goes back to licking what used to be his balls.

One of my New Year's resolutions (and this is the first time in years that I have made any) is to scape the embarrassingly thick layer of dust off my bass guitar and start playing the rock music again. In accordance with said intentions, JimA, Clint, and I threw together a little jam session yesterday afternoon. We had hoped to get Ned to join us, but he had committed his day to his adoring lady, Shari. Maybe next time. I will tell you, there are few things that I find greater than kicking out the jammeronies. 2nd Story may be shutting down, and "rock music" may be in something of an anemic state these days, but I don't know if one can have more pure, adulterated FUN than when playing on the guitar. Yummy.

Gotta go see "13 Days" this weekend. The Lord of the Rings" theatrical trailer is on it. Yes it is. I'll let you know about it when I come back.
