Balloons
at the Al Gore rally
Steve
Wonder and Al Gore. I was very far away in the crowd and got this
shot by zooming my Mavica as far as it could go, holding it over my
head and shooting. Not too shabby.

Fish

Hot
damn, it's wintertime. Pros
My furry coat
Looking like a longshoreman in my hat and turtleneck sweater
Feeling really alive when that cold wind scours my face
The utter and complete quiet of walking outside in the woods after
a snowstorm (that and Dairy Queen are tied for the No. 1 thing I
miss most about Minnesota)
Being more than a third body fat and being from Minnesota - I'm
one of the last to get cold.
Climbing onto a warm bus
Big fat snowflakes
Having an apartment full of friends at my Open Houses
Cons
It takes about 2 hours for my ass to warm up from going outside
That tense, tightass walk that keeps me from slipping on the ice
Frozen nostril hair
The liners of my Moon Boots slipping out when I take them off
(ok, this one hasn't happened in over a decade)
That's
all for now.

My
rock and roll lifestyle of work, work and more work is catching
up with me. I woke up this morning and my uberBrandy schedule has
finally bitten me in the ass.

Oh,
woe is me. Pets.com, is no more. What will I do without my beloved
Sock Puppet - his wit, his interminable spirit and his ballsy, in-your-face
interviewing style?
It
is a sad day indeed.

So,
on the way up to my apartment, the doors opened on the 8th floor
and I was hit with a cloud of incense. That particular scent took
me back to being 6 years old, when furniture was made out of empty,
wooden wire spools, I spent my time looking for cool agates, and
during the summers I was clothed in matching terry cloth tank top/short
combos with contrasting trim.

Election
Day
I'm sitting here watching NBC news, screaming like a big spaz everytime
Tom Brokaw projects Gore as a winner in state after state. Florida
and Michigan! - Rock on, Al Gore!!! I of course voted today, and
man, does voting kick ass. As I was voting, one woman was blabbing
on and on about how ridiculously long the ballots were. I bit my
tongue, and didn't admonish her for being an uninformed voter. Yeah,
I don't know squat about all the judges on the ballot, but I don't
bitch about democracy because of it.

Pjs,
tie-died tube socks, and scream-singing to the Beatles' "Oh! Darling."
What could be better than that? Fuck yeah.
My
planets must be aligned or something - work is falling from the
sky and I love all the work I'm doing.
I
s pilled s ome water on my keyb oard a couple day sa go an d look
w hat it was doin g. Now, I have a new shiny keyboard, but I'm
adjusting to it.
I'm
not terribly interesting at the moment. I should be working right
now, but it's Sunday and I'm hungry.
Later.

Man,
I'm cranky.
I've been busting my ass and it seems that all I have at the moment
is a busted ass.
And I have such a love/hate relationship with people. Of course
there are individuals I love, and others I hate, but I'm talking
in a general human species way. Just when I think I've got the extroversion
thing down (believe me, it's taken years of practice to hone this
charming self of mine), something/one/people just make me want to
curl up into a ball and be in my own head for a long time. It's
not a bad place to be. I visit often, but I may just need an extended
vacation there.
