Shameless Plugs,

I added new pages called Music and Hippie to this blog. I’ll try to update what’s on the pages every once and a while, but it will probably be never. It’s mostly a resource type thing for what has influenced me. So really, it’s narcissistic.

My Hands are Tied (and not in a good way),

There are two things that are going on that I feel like I can’t do much but about it but pace around or grit my teeth.

The first is relatively insignificant compared to the other, and pretty well known amongst my tiny group of peeps. I have no pictures because I regretfully did not back up my computer in the last coupla years (don’t ever do that, backup your shit right now fool! Yes, I’m talking to you), thinking the backup would be the transfer of all to the other computer inhabited by my now ex. Lost and corrupted in the transfer, yea firewire. But I do have a small amount of pics I have saved to a folder, ones I’ve sent people or whatever. And so I will delve into those. Also I don’t have iPhoto because it won’t open since the incident, and to reinstall would probably loose the lost photos forever before trying one more thing with both computers together, and so I wait until one day when both computers can talk. Which will be next year? Or never?

But whatever. The pictures on this will be inhibited for a while. I’ll figure out an alternative way to upload them.

The other thing that I can’t do much about but be supportive is that one of the dogs of my former relationship was diagnosed with bone cancer. Forrest will be going through a lot soon, and I am just hoping that it will be simple and pain-free. He is a special, sensitive, handsome boy.

Everybody loves him.

And so I pace some more,

p.s. Can click on the photos to see them bigger.

Peel Me off the Floor,

I’m back in the sticks. Broke, broken, and back to bodily functions having to do with coffee. Bonding with feral kittens is amazing, but they are with other people now and I have to let go. And I have to (get to?) let go of a 6+ year relationship.

Anyway! Yesterday at dusk I saw a buck, his lady, and their young one frolicking (frolicking!) on the property. Running and jumping and playing tag and hide and seek. It was so awesome. I hope they live a long time and keep having fun moments like that. I kept whispering, stay safe, stay safe, stay safe, what with the hunters and scarce food this year and new properties encroaching on their habitat. I couldn’t get any pictures because I didn’t want to use my flash and besides, they were running around like crack monkeys.

So, no more procrastinating. Must get a job. Nobody’s getting holiday presents from me unless you want me to make you rice crispie treats and a mixed cd.

Sincerely,

A
