Well, never mind. I did get to sleep, from 7.30 am to 11am. I might nod off for another hour or two in a little while here. Or perhaps I'll just read something. 3.5 hours is very little to go on. Some would say too little.
Currently I'm caught up in more RA Salvatore. The Thousand Orcs fell to me yesterday (well, yes I was procrastinating) and The Lone Drow is half way through. Very good reads, however not as great as some of the others in the Drizzt adventures.
After I get done with The Two Swords and complete the trilogy, I'll be reading Douglas Adam's Starship Titanic written by Terry Jones, followed by Last Chance to See written by Douglas himself (I've only read excerpts of this and always wanted to read it, so now I shall complete that goal)

Holy shit, I haven't slept and it is Thursday and I woke on Wednesday. With the irritating work I'm doing sleeping is currently not an option. I am gonna start looking like myself in halloween makeup if I keep this up.

I can safely say that eating polenta twice in the same week does not lead to hardening of the intestines.

So, today is like any other, a big pile of work to get done, and only me to do it. It appears to be one of those days that is the space between interesting days.

Feed the parrots: Check.
Start the computer: Check.
Eat Breakfast: Check.
Procrastinate because I am bored: Check.

Yesterday I had lunch with a friend at a brewery and I avoided the polenta. This time, I ate a veggie burger with grilled onions, grilled portabella and cheddar, with garlic fries. Everywhere a person goes in the this county, the food is gourmet, it is tripped out.

So, after eating we came up with yet another dastardley plan to escape our lives. Don't get me wrong, we're doing relatively well, money is no longer an issue, it is the work that is. I'm trading my creative tendencies for money. So, perhaps we'll succeed this time around. Who knows?

What I know is it sure beats accepting life the way it is.

Oh no, yet again I forgot to call up the Sonoma County Wildlife foundation to sign up for the volunteer orientation. I keep giving them money though.
Last week we went to their wild benefit dinner and I ate local vegetables over polenta, speaking of polenta, just two days later I was at a local brew place and ate the mountain of polenta. Perhaps it will harden up inside of me and make me stop eating.

Merlin decided to pose for some pics today.

Drinking:

I want to do it more often. Unfortunately, there is this work thing. It gets in the way.

Damn.

Polyamory:

The whole low/high self worth issues with regards to a romantic relationship becomes so intense when you throw a word like polyamory into the mix.

It is like drinking wine all night, then suddenly shooting up tequilla using a garden hose attached to a spinal tap syringe.

However, I still think it is an interesting lifestyle. Anyone here experienced it?

So, I got my picture up. Hallows Eve, 2005.
Drink up me 'earties..


YO HO (A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME)
Lyrics by Xavier Atencio and music by George Bruns
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals, scoundrels, villans, and knaves,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
