podlingMy bad, I've not posted in a week or so. I meant to, I did, but... yeah, anyway. So.
Philosophy moment... Life. Life is like a box of legos. There are weirdly shaped pieces in all kinds of colors. And you sometimes lose your head only to find it later having been shot from a lego catapult at an immobile lego wall. The pieces don't always fit how you'd ideally like them to, but there it is.
Speaking of philosophy, I miss living with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littlefrogling and being able to say things like, "Monday is eastern wisdom day!!! Tuesday is folk saying day!" with an accompanying koan to meditate on. Call me!
Surf kayaking. I finally got my kayak to the Jersey shore. Ow. Um, well, I'm not that good. Definitely not good enough to surf waves that harsh. I should've taken my cue from the amount of surfers out there (not anywhere near as many as normal) but nooooo. Can we say, "DANGER!!!"? I think we can! (Jilly was impressed I tried at all, and really, impressing others with your own stupidity is always fun. Oh, and now I have a place to stay when I take time off to go to the beach. Not that I couldn't stay there before, but now I've actually talked to her, and it is kind of odd just walking into houses of other people and making yourself comfortable, even if they are related to your ex-roommate.)Anyway, 3 days later, my bruises are partially gone, or at least not visible. My nose is still tender from the kayak smacking it though. And how odd is it that I always get hit in that same spot? Same spot when I played softball and when the showerhead developed demonic tendencies and attacked me. I miss that evil showerhead though, I really do. I have to replace my current one with something else. But I have randomly expensive taste in showerheads, go figure. Actually, I have randomly expensive taste in most things. If only I had a randomly well paying job... ;)
The job... weird stuff going on there. But then again, I suppose there always is. Can't talk about it in public though, or... well, no, not here. Maybe in person.
My house is getting there... slowly but surely. The kitchen is suddenly usuable, and soon the rest of the place will be too. Of course, the kayak is already making a wonderful coffee table. I haven't repaired Mirrorman yet. All things in time.
Was thinking more about the, "I am an artist" thing yesterday. I wonder when I'll get to the point where I'm saying, "I am a decent artist" or even, "a good artist". Not there yet. Maybe one day I'll develop self confidence. :)
Oh, and I still haven't used the hot tub or pool!!! Freaky! I should move that up on the list of priorities.
