Son of a…
I am sunburnt. Again. One of these days, I will learn.
I am frustrated by the concept of secrecy. I don’t understand its base assumptions.
Work tomorrow, and I must motivate myself to finish typing up the chapters. All of you who are waiting on 19, bug
Last night’s revelation.
We are our stories.
Your video, by virtue of our actions, has become his.
Proof that I get hit. *snort* Check this out! :)
Two days, and I’m 160 entries behind. Smack my wrist and call me a bad LJ-er.
I’m still rolling forward on that goodness with the mysterious project. It’s not so mysterious any more, but hey. If you want to know, you’d probably have asked me by now. Heh.
Game was a lot of fun last night, though I got super-hyper thanks to ingesting way too much Red Bull. Ah, well.
I’m now on three different blood pressure medicines and a stomach pill. I have a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday to discuss the CT scan results, and one after that at the U of M gastroentronology(sp?) dept for them to find out if I have an ulcer. That’s at the end of the month. The 27th, I think.
I’m getting the craving for a laptop more and more as I find that I can’t type up my novel nor edit the mysterious project when I’m away from home, which I like to be. Well, I’m armed with the directions to the U of M salvage place, and the days that it’s open, so I’ll browse that this week.

Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your word of power this week is *yua.* It’s a term the Yupiit people of Alaska use for the spirit that inhabits all things, both animate and inanimate. A rock, for instance, has as much *yua* as a caribou, spruce tree, or human being, and therefore merits the same measure of compassion. If a Yupiit goes out for a hike and spies a chunk of wood lying on a frozen river bank, she might pick it up and put it in a new position, allowing its previously hidden side to get fresh air and sun. In this way, she would bestow a blessing on the wood’s *yua.* Try living your life like this in the coming days, Taurus: as if absolutely everything is alive, has a soul, and deserves your loving kindness.
