odds n ends

The Guru was a bit slow, but worth watching for the well placed funny bits and musical numbers. (if you like that sort of thing, which I do...otherwise you'll probably find the movie a little tedious) Also worthwhile is the cute star, Jimi Mistry.

Taking care of Lena's cat this weekend really made me want to get us a kitty of our own. The problem being that the lease says very specifically no cats. Actually, the lease says no pets and then goes on to name everything from goldfish to pot bellied pigs. I'm thinking that we'll have to start looking for a better option next year, but I love the neighborhood and don't want to leave, so our choices will be a bit limited. And yes, to all of you who'll ask after reading that, I will look into moving back east again. The thing is that the economy will have to have improved quite a bit and we'll have to find a way to solve the healthcare challenge before that truly becomes an option.

G's computer's still down, and I'm finding that mine runs slower without his being hooked up correctly. It's odd how technology creates new frustrations even as it solves old ones. What I mean is this: As I drove across town earlier today, I had an odd moment where I suddenly realized that my every day life is so different from that of my ancestors of only a hundred years ago, that I wonder if we'd truly ever be able to trade places without going slowly insane being out of our own time. Being a tech junky, I think the ancestor would do a great deal better at coping with my now then I would with his then. No phone, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury...indeed!
