Homesick for a clock that tells the right time
08.22.04 (7:41 am)   [edit]

So, a whole week of stress, well not evey moment or even every day but in general the week was stressful. We wake up every morning to the sounds of wasps buzzing around the bedroom. crazy ,there's a plague of them this summer.

Work was up and down, had it's great days and it's rotten moments, but only 4 more months to go so it's okay. I am glad I will have an end. I think things are changing and not for the better there. New security, problems
with things missing, it's so sad.

Belly dance fest last night, amazing, and fun and healing. it was a good thing to do at the right time. My battery was low and I needed recharging.

in th emeant ime today is a work day at home, the moving comany coms in to give an estimate on the 6th and we need to sort our chaos out by then. arghhhhhhhh, this is why I don't sleep at night I suppose it will be better when we have a place to go to instead of a void. any way, we'll see, now the time rubberband thing has begun to accelerate time has sped up and
it won't be long now.


Good things are that Honor and John will be back again and I get to do some travelling with Marcus and his business trip thingy. I wonder if I will ever settle, this move is different ( aren't they all) and I feel a sadness and a dissassociation  from things here earlier, i am letting go instead of hanging on. It is a strange experience.


well these are early mornig can't find the key board ramblings of a wasp woken person. Still our pact with the wee beasties is in olace andno one has broekn it, they don't harm me, I don't harm them. WE spend a lot of tim eshooingthem out of the house, there is a nest somewhere in the walls of the house. and our flat is the short cut :)


so everyone out there in bloggy land...


until then be excellent to each other.

movies
08.15.04 (8:14 pm)   [edit]

gotta love the medium of moving pictures....

Pitch Dark  ******  excellent gotta love Vin Diesel in this role. Cannot wait for the Riddick Chronicles.

Starsky and hutch ***  was okay the series was way better

Cold Mountain  ****** amazing music, amazing scenery amazing everything except the frigging ending. Why are crows always bad???


Notting Hill ****** good antidote to cold mountain.


Movies coming up to look forward to...(DVD)


Underworld, VanHelsing, Harry Potter3, Star Wars origional, Star Trek series origional amnd so many more.....


I am typing in the dark, the night comes earlier now and winter won't be so very long. pretty sunset, red and fiery and there are crickets chirping although it's not so warm as it was a week ago. Cleaned up sorted out fretted some about this stupid move and ponderd a lot of things.... usualy what Sundays are all about.


too much stuff and an uncertain future right now....
and watching films like Cold Mountain only serve to remind me that humans do terrible things to each other and it just never seems to end. Crows aren't bad omens they are just birds and they'd pick at the corn and the sun flowers if we didn't give them so many bodies to feed off of. It would be nice if we could respect one another even if we all don't much like the other people around us. It's something to think about.


until then be excellent to each other


 


 


 


 


 

 
weird
08.14.04 (9:25 am)   [edit]
okay I know we don't have a lot of room to talk about being weird but.....
when you have a nice terrace and the weather is good..... why on earth woudl you drag your lawn chairs to the parking lot and sit half naked next to your car to listen to the radio???????? and it's not like these folks don't have a stereo.. sure they do we hear it often enough.

this takes a trailer party to new heights, and the music so loud we can hear it over our stereo blasting star trek Voyager.... Of course we are talking about the neighbours who routinely run through the apartment house searching for people with a colour printer or a free computer they can use to try out a disk that doesn't work and then yell at people because the doors are too loud??!!??

these are one next to the ones who cut down the trailing plant that belongs to the apartment hours because of black aphids...
I am so glad I am leaving here. :(


in the mean time work has been relaxed we are all caught up which means the rubber band wars have begun and so far I have gotten pretty good at hitting a target, but Jayson still beats me at mini basketball.
He has had his contract renewed YAy so I getto hang with him till the end of my term. I am really glad about this because he is a super guy and loads of fun to work with, and he's cool.
Unlike other people who insist on a cold war ( which I find hilarious) run around wearing the same pants for a week with an ever growing hole in the arse.... buy some pants!!!! and who spend 15 minutes looking for a screwdriver asking everyone but me until the bitter end and guess what I have what you are looking for... ask and ye shall recieve??? too weird. and funny, everyone just shakes their heads and I shrug it off, who cares anyway? I mean really in the over all scope of the world who cares in a hundred years will any of this count or matter????NOPE!? , I iginore the barbs and jibes and strange snorty behaviour because I don't understand the reasoning behind it and if I ignore it he doesn't get ammo. It's not my cold war and I don't participate.

but it gets noticed by everyone and many have talked about it. I say shrug it off and walk away. If this person wants to be prejudiced and negative that's his life. Not mine. I find the constant negative comments of how other people live and little racial digs very insulting. Ignorance is bliss I guess but i am kinda glad i don't live like that. We were watching the last Voyager dvd in season two last night and there was a special on Tuvok the vulcan and he the actor meantioned about how people often talked to him about beingthe first black vulcan.... and I was like... that's an issue???????
why is that an issue????? Come to think of it.....
why is being gay an issue???????
why is any of this sort of thing an issue????????

I hate sitting there at work listening to two particular people go on about stuff they don't really know much about and it's just sad. especially when someone who's english is only so so tells me that saying "you're welcome" after someone says thankyou is NOT normal for native english speaking countries. uh huh. Not sure where he learnt that but he was quite annoyed when I told him not that saying you're welcome, is fairly normal.

we have bigger things to worry about.

4 months and about 10 days till get outta dodge day.
We started cleaning now, thebedroom was sorted then the bathrooms and slowly we make our way to the disaster of the living room.

scrolls to make, panaches to finish, life to live, books to read, letters to send, too much stuff to do and not enough time. :) backlog to sort out, and so on.... look forward to some free time in Lugano to change stuff and create stuff for the scribes here and so on. University should also be fun. in the mean time... enjoy the summer while it lasts, it's hot and sunny and lovely. When it rains it's cool and clean smelling and keeps the wasps down. :) cannot complain about anything.

so now it's time to shower and get on the go find food for my starving man and enjoy the day!!!!!

until then, be excellent to each other.







 
boring
08.11.04 (6:32 am)   [edit]

yup I know It's really boring when there is no new blog..sorry about that but it's been way hot here so the dell who doesn't much like the heat hasbeen off a lot and I have been busy with token making and house cleaning and laundry doing, physio therapy and of course work.


This summer it has been short and sweet and very full of wasps, more wasps than I can remember seeing snce I left Scotland and my mum used to make wasp traps out of jamjars and left over jam. nasty wee beasties and for some obscure reason I am terrified of them, a wasp fllies near me and I panic full blown sweats and goosebumps and so on... weird. I oly remember being stung once but I guess it was enough.


oh well gotta go my morning physio is in half an hour and Ihavn't showered yet.


until then be excellent to each other.
