I’ve been in a “mood” for some time now. My skin felt weighted down by blue, bringing to light deep frown lines and worry. But, this morning I decided that I have had enough. I went to the gym, jumped on the elliptical trainer and went to town. I feel so much better now. Although, I am quite tired. There is a certain creature born of hell that kept me up most of last night! The teeter-totter in my little brain is balanced for the time being. Tomorrow it shall be the same as it was today. I just need to make it a routine, like brushing my teeth……but I am going to love a nap this afternoon!

I am still coughing from this bloody cold. I am quite bored by the rapid explosions in my chest. I would like to speak for more than 10 minutes without whipping my hand to guard my mouth from the inevitable spittle-shower erupting from within.

The weekend was grand, actually. D and I went on a date on Friday, supping at Bravissimo’s and drinking a touch too much wine. We are working on a story idea for an animation (that will be done far in the future). I like creating worlds and people with D. One idea is the seed for the next, and for hours we went on and on, defining characters and characteristics of the world we are creating.
Saturday D and Heather and I all went out for martinis. First we went to 310, because she wanted something tasty in a martini glass. I had 2 espresso martinis (although there was no bailey’s in it…and that’s what the menu said it would have :: pout :: ) and Heather made her own martini with Vanilla Stoli, chocolate, cream and something else. I just can’t remember what the something else was. And then we went and played pool. I do have to say I kicked ass! Although I thought it was all-terrain pool, and kept knocking balls off the table. But we had a really good time.
Sunday Miss V and Mr. Tim had us over for dinner, which was fantabulous. That woman can cook. And she’s all about presentation (like using real herbs to make the dish all pretty!!) I’ve been shown what a poor plate I put together in terms of the look (I do fine with the tastes). So, I shall work on making all my dishes pretty, except the ones I make for D and I. We are usually more interested in consumption rather than presentation. The conversation flowed with ease, and was a lovely capstone to a nice weekend.

So, the plans for this week include the following:
cleaning up the backyard
repairing the lawnmower (which died on Sunday…. RIP)
Catching up with a few people
reading those books V let me borrow
pricing tickets for trips

With all that in mind, here are some links for you!

The Brother’s Grimm I didn’t know what to make of this at first, but after seeing the trailer, I must admit that I am really excited by the prospect of this film. It looks like fun. And I like fun!

Bad way to get outed! I feel for this guy…

Spread the Web!! I think more cities should work toward this type of thing. I was also happy to see that the Seatte/Tacoma area was number one for this.

In contrast, Orlando has ended it’s free wireless program downtown.. I didn’t use it all that much, but it did come in slightly handy when Chris and I were looking for houses for him. Oh well…

Tali and Frankie will be pleased with this. I’m telling you - those fans are bloody obsessive!! They scare me!

Now that’s dedication! (or is that insanity??)

I will always love Target!! You couldn’t pay me to shop at Wal-Mart. No offense to those that do, but I refuse to support their business practices….

It summer time!! BBQ!!

Biking in the NW… you know.. for later!
