November 2: An unorriginal naming scheme

If I'm already putting myself on the juicer to squeeze out 30 blog posts(yes, I had to sing the song to figure out how many days there were in November) and 50,000 words (which I haven't quite started yet, but I've thought tons about it!!) I'm not going to spend any excess cerebral sparkage on post titles. If they naturally happen, then fine... but other than that, it's not worth it.

2 days or so until history gets made in my country, one way or another. Personally, I hope it's the one way or else I'm going to have to see about how The Agency feels about me commuting to work from Canada...

Went out to my Favorite Winery because on the weekends they have their Holiday Spice wine all warmed up and served special for $5. Conclusion: I don't like it. Perhaps I should have tried it before I bought a few bottles, but yeah, it's waaaaay too heavy on the clove spice in it. It honestly reminds me of drinking a liquefied Djarum clove cigarette, which quite frankly, is disgusting. Oh well, I'll give it out as Christmas presents to people, I'm sure someone else might like it. Hopefully. I went there with Dzia, who, after recent circumstances, I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing a lot more of again. Normally I'm not one to really consider re-doing relationships for another go-round, but maybe if we're both in different places then it might work out eventually. Stranger things have happened... though, even with how many votes of conficence my closest friends have given her, I'm not quite holding my breath yet.

Oh what a night...

My AIM away message reads:

"The arduous process of writing a letter of recommendation."

My away time is listed at: 8hours and 47minutes

Yes, that's the kind of night I had... except for the time between 10pm and 11pm... that was Stargate Atlantis.

But now, it's 3:30am and I have to take a sledgehammer to delicately pound on my car tomorrow and get it ready for new bumpers so I can drive it again.

Yes, the Acura Legend is/was a nice car, though, I imagine with 20yr/200k it's, oh... how shall we say it... seen better days? Acutally, a 1998 Acura 3.2CL was pretty much my 'dream car' for quite a little while. Needless to say though, I've gotten rather attached to my 01 Accord coupe. Here's to it's 3rd life!

Real post or two tomorrow, but at the moment, I'm mildly delusional :-D

Inspired by... who knows what.

So, I was writing a Facebook message to a friend tonight, and realized that the message to that person in particular while originally intended to be a one-off message, has the potential for something much greater. I'm not going to try and pretend that it's an original concept or that it's part of my personal brilliance in any way at all, but it could have some really cool repercussions. I wrote this short message to a friend whom I miss. Just basically took a cross-section of what my heart felt at that exact moment, put it in a message, and pressed "send". I titled the subject of the message as "Two Minutes of Truth..." because for lack of an original title, that's what it was: a short near two minute message of exactly how I was feeling at that moment. I don't know what's going to come of it, but that's the wonderful risk of putting yourself out there, the surprise of never knowing what might or might not come of it...

Anyway, I've been distracted all night by listening to my uncle's music. He may be gone over four years now, but I can turn on his music, close my eyes, and almost pretend he's still alive. His collection of music is probably one of the most difficult blessings that I've ever been bestowed.

I wanted to work on videos tonight, but I think I'm thoroughly too distracted. So, I think I'm just going to watch the newest episode of Star Trek: New Voyages and then hit the couch...
