Journal SolemnDragon's Journal: Miscellany and a half 10
I'm not posting as much and i'm taking a few days' break from things. Mostly cause i'm busy with work stuff. A little cause i'm tired and having fatigue issues, which makes it hard to get stuff done. I'm having a profoundly silly day, though.
I will be reading a bit and while i haven't answered most of my email lately, i do look at it and feel guilty from time to time.
Bad dragon. No email.
Talked to mum. She's done with chemo in September and has ALSO been too tired to drop by, but that doesn't mean she won't appreciate words of encouragement. If you send them, i'll forward. With more alacrity than i respond to anything lately, i promise. She's doing oke, but discovering the Joys of Chemotherapy up close & personal.
On the bright side, i'm back on my maintenance meds, which makes me feel better than i was, and i will probably be going in to the crowded center of Boston for fireworks on the fourth. Because i'm crazy, that's way. BestFriend will likely be staking out a spot, so i won't even have to be out there all day. In fact, OtherFriend from Texas might fly in, so we'll all get together and chat over the sound of explosions and the smell of black powder. Yay fireworks with bestfriend AND i get to go on a date! Nothing says 'date' like gunpowder and repeated explosions.
Of course, this is all depending on my energy levels. If i end up spending the evening indoors because i'm not up to fireworks and crowds (MsWillow, i understand ALL ABOUT accessibility at these adventures) then screw it, i'll stay home and heckle the fireworks that i'll watch on tv.
Best friend and OFT will help.
Blinder, did you get the emailed draft i sent you?
To everybody everybody who contributed to the IAmthefallen box, it's on its way. (notice the correct use of i-t-s and i-t-'-s). It got sent priority mail on saturday and should be there shortly. Thank you for pitching in, and if anybody comes across extra baby things, we have no dearth of new arrivals on the 'dot who could use them (though bethanie's having her second, so i'm betting she was prepared. No, i mean RIGHT NOW, she's having her second child... Congrats Bethanie!) I'll be happy to forward stuff to any of them. *nod*
Special thanks for the people who gave ideas what to send, because i wouldn't have thought of some of them.
Hm. Not a lot of other news. I'm putting myself back in my box now, to hide until some unwary passerby gets to discovery the sudden startling presence of DRAGON!!!! It's been that kinda day, and i'm too damned tired to go out and hunt people down to scare them today. Isn't it tough when you can't even be bothered to go out of your way to trip someone? *sigh*
So i'm going to try to save up energy for the weekend. I would really like to get out and do stuff like normal people, so i'm going to rest extra and try not to worry too much about cleaning my disaster of a house before bestfriend and Other texan see it. Both will forgive me, i'm sure, but it's not really as i'd like it to me (i at least need to clean my kitchen and do laundry, because if i haven't energy to do laundry after going to stand among the million people along the charles river, i will still need clean clothing next week...)
That's my news. No hitting. Em, put down that potato. FortKnox, i toldja before, if you can't keep your taser to yourself, you can't use it in the house. Take it outside. OUTSIDE! Yes, there are people, go wait on the sidewalk. Kshgoddess, don't throw that, it's breakable. Here, use a brick instead. MsWillow, please pick up the mess after you get done torturing whoever you've got there- oh. Hi, Eth. Didn't see you there. Did you get found out about the jam, or is this for some other dreadful thing you've done lately? DubiousDave, for the last time, no ice cream until you've finished your cake. Balanced breakfast, and all that. Cake first! Jorj, there are cranes filling four closets upstairs, do you know anything about this? I thought not. Why don't you team up with DubiousDave (when he's done with his cake) and lob them into the neighbour's yard?
(...It's raining cranes, hallelujah, it's raining cranes...)
Zirnike, remind me to tell you about the Jpeg noir detective story. Daoine- third weekend in july, i remember. Wolf, you can't bludgeon someone into enlightenme- wait, what am i saying? Of course you can. You can, absolutely, bludgeon someone into enlightenment, and what's more you MAY, and here's my list if you get done with yours and aren't tired yet. Go to it! Enlightenment by reverse phrenology! Yeeehaaa!!!
LPetr, stop chewing on the furniture.
No, RW, you can't shoot that there unless you brought enough ammo for everyone. Oh, you did? Never mind, then.
Cigars, cigerettes, grenade launchers?
And BestFriend, if you're reading this, for gods' sake introduce yourself one of these days. People are gonna think i made you up or something. OFT, that goes for you, too!!!

The one positive memory was during Barry Manilow's performance a couple of years ago, where he did "Copacabana" and all the Generation X types in the crowd started singing along.

Yes I sure did. I will be reading tonight. I meant to reply to your email, but alas, I forgot.
If i end up spending the evening indoors because i'm not up to fireworks and crowds
Yeah, its ridiculous. Last year Tracy and I took my sister to see the Inner Harbor fireworks show. The whole thing was about 45 minutes long... but took 2 hours to get home (a 14 mile trip). Maybe we'll just set the neighbor's lawn on fire and call that our Fourth of July Celebr

I think I need to worry about my own enlightenment first...lol. I'm sure there must be some torture techniques out there though that have been tried for enlightenment. Look at some of the rites of passage f

Umm... Scourging? You know, flailing your back with a cat-o-nine-tails. Religion has always been good for justifying the use of pain for 'enlightenment' (salvation, whatever they feel like calling it at the time)
