Whoo hoo! First test drive with the new comp. It's a little weird because I'm so distracted by the computer that I don't really meet with the people as much as I usually do.
EDIT
Ok, so I'm back home, a little too distracting there with the big ole Sunday crowd. It's more of a romantic idea, blogging from the various places, a roving reporter... sigh. Wish I had more time to just sit and write and write and write till it's all out, and then go get more and write that too. I'm caught between wanting to be heard and being afraid of saying the wrong thing, or rather the wrong person reading something, or reading it in a wrong state of mind perhaps... but upkeeping multiple blogs would suck. woof. Just have to not care. so much. What is it that makes us think other people want to read our brain spew anyway? and yet I find it interesting to read other blogs. I think it comes back to that wanting to ask people questions, without invading on their privacy or them getting bored or annoyed by having to tell the same storie over and over again. I STILL think it would be great to walk around with little basic update cards so that when someone asks "What have you been up to lately?" you can just hand it over and save your breath. :D I guess in a way that's what blogs are... huh. Enough pondering for now!
Nola and I went to get smoothie ingredients from her place and ended up walking around to see the classic cars on the square first!! There's some neat old ones, and it's fun to see all the insides, they aren't all jammed full of stuff. Which on the one hand makes you wonder why they made them so big, if they didn't really need all that room... hrm... Some of them had photo albums showing how they had restored old rusty nasty things into shiny new pretty pretties! AND this couple got married on the square by a guy in a leather Harley type vest, she was in black and he had a long grey braid. It was over the loudspeaker and everything. Pretty amazing. There was a lot of neat stuff about being individuals who enrich each other's lives, as well as being united and all that. I don't think I'd ever in a million years do it that way, but props to them!
Green Day was freakin' awesome, I'm so glad we went ahead and did it! I was a little worried at first because the opener Jimmy Eat World was mostly just loud to me, until they played the 2 songs I knew. But Green Day was really engaging and really got the crowd involved, even up to the back where we were. So much energy and charisma, that I loved every minute, even on the songs I didn't really know. It felt like he was really identifying the audience, knew where he was: MOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! The representative from Illinois has the floor. Amazing that they've stuck together so long and they are still popular, there was a HUGE range of ages there. Even a pregnant lady behind us, which actually slightly upset me but also made me curious - the loud music was such an attack on my body, what would it do to the baby's physiology? would it affect the baby's personality in any way? It was funny, after the concert we stopped at a gas station and we all felt like eating junk food, it was like we'd been assaulted from every other sense and we had to do taste too. curiouser and curiouser.
I woke up to my period and didn't feel like lying around in bed so I went out to switch out the laundry and there was this totally gorgeous dragon fly sitting on a stem of my geraniums. I took a bunch of pictures of it, but it was all cool and lacy-winged, and I was like "oh, that's why I like them, because the real ones are so cool" heh heh
The place is slowly coming together, bit by bit. Must do more! Less computer, more housework!! Feels good to do it!
So there!
