I fell asleep on the loveseat last night, trying not to go to bed. There was more to do with the day. I'd been up since 0700 hours, and it was nearly midnight. Why didnt I want to get in bed? I dont know. It just works out that way sometimes.
Now it is morning time, and I have had two cups of coffee. My stomach feels dehydrated, and I am drinking water and contemplating food.
I pulled King Black Acid's "Love's a Long Song" off the CD shelf for the first time in many months and am enjoying listening to it a lot. I still miss the Hitting Birth stuff Riddle was doing many years ago. What would they sound like today? Where would that band have evolved?
I am wondering if I shouldnt have a luddite day soon. No electronic gadgets, just books and working with my hands. Turn off the phone, pager, computer, stereo, etc and just live for one full waking day without technology being the centerpiece of my life. It'd be interesting, to say the least.
I've been pondering the nature of consumer related obsession and how it relates to me for a few days. I become obsessed with having something that I think I need to have a better life in my house. For the most part, they are sensible items (kitchenware, computer gear, etc), but I seem to want the best, and wont rest until I've found it. Does this mean that I'm making a home for myself that I can rest in comfortably and happily, or has advertising finally worked it's way in to my brain? Do I really need this stuff? I dont know. I can say that I now am close to having the tools I would like to have around to live happily in any house or apartment. Do I need that stuff, really? no. Does it tie me down a bit? Yes. I think it's nice to fancy that I could realistically pack it all up, put it in to storage, and wander. I believe that to be largely fantasy.
In other news, the emoticon font is nearly complete for this site, but the size of the "pixels" is too large to really make nice horizontal scrolling words, and I might have to redesign it to be vertical ala UNIX banner(6).
I injured myself three days ago, it's been an ordeal to walk any distance, to breathe, or to move around too much. I am feeling a lot better today, but I dont want to push it. It was one of those torso injuries that hurt in such a way that leaves you unsure if you hurt your lung, chest, back, or some other part. I suspect it to have been a combination of back, pectoral muscles, and a minor cold coming on. How strange!
Ramble ramble ramble.
