Good luck this morning… I found $25 dollars in a pack of smokes on the bus. I tossed the Winstons out, and kept the money as a just reward for anti-littering.

Home early, and taking it easy. New duties at work tomorrow…plus meetings about the website. I find out exactly what the duties entail tomorrow too…but I don’t imagine they’re too much fun… sales and the mail shop were bleating about having to do it… and Kev offered our dept… I hope it’s nothing tedious. Kev did mention that it’d only be for a little while…. that sort of softening suggests that it’ll be PITA work. Hopefully, it’s something I can automate programmatically.

Tonight’s book… Starting fresh with Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software by Steven Johnson, paperback edition. Tony gave it to me just yesterday. Got to dig found lit, given freely. I was interested in it last winter, but my reading queue was already quite full… glad to have it reappear.

Newt’s adorable tonight…curled up in the middle of my Indian-style sitting position. Time to read some non-backlit text, enjoy purrs, the scent of nag champa, and some science. Throw in some snuggly sweetie read-dreaming too, while I’m at it.

See you later, Dear Journal.

Well, I’m done. Time to call in a pro.

I’m going to call for an appointment at the doctor’s tomorrow before work. I need something stronger than tea and ‘tussin to fight whatever is ailing me. I suspect walking pneumonia. (I’ve had it before, and it’s not bad, just irritating – I have a hacking cough, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle aches and fever.)

In other news, Newtie *loves* the Alaska key chain that sent me. 🙂 I think the metal ring reminds him of milk rings, and it rattles in a lovely way, so he’s been running around the house with it this morning (we’ve been playing fetch) , and leaving it on my pillow as tribute for when I get home at night. He must smell the polar bears on it. (Fortunately he hasn’t hid it in the litter box yet, like he is sometimes prone to do with army men.)

last but not least, the sheepo say –

I AM 36% GOTH.

Goth ny night, normal by day. Deep in my heart I know I am evil, but not on the company’s time. I do need to eat.

Take the GOTH Test at Fuali.com!

It’s because I go to ren-fests, I think… I’m *very* skeptical of these results.

found this on canuckgirl’s journal!

Do you know how lucky you are?

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness…you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pang of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death…you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep…you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the U.S.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful…you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder…you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Have a GREAT day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

tom Jones…

Nashatagot me in the mood for some groovy tom Jones music, so I fired up the audiognome (a napster/napigator type gizmo) and grabbed a few. *whee!* Ever so much fun. Thanks to whomever posted the link to that location, I think it was JennyLee.

I’m in a wacky linky mood. Have another spiral!

Red!

Anyhow, I went and looked to see where TJ was performing at Pollstar and sadly, he’s strictly vegas, california, and the UK for the immediate future. Anyone want to go with me out to the city of lights to see him perform, and maybe do a tour of the city of sin? (I’m not a gambler… who knows what I’d do out there… see the shows, eat buffetts, and visit my pal ramscan, I suppose.)

He heads to Europe on 10/29, so we don’t have much time. I can spring for continental plane tickets, but that’s about it.

In other news, bought Newton a new toy, that makes ‘krinkle’ noises, and is filled with ‘nip. He’s in love with it. 🙂 Looks like a psychedelic spider! The bug on the lower right side of the page.

All for now, off to chase the furball.
