pause

The theme song from Cheers has been stuck in my head all day. Been online quite a bit this past week, but not blogging. Offline, but still on the computer, I've been playing with the Makin' Magic expansion pack for the Sims. Yes, it sucks time away just like television, but it works the brain a bit more than the other glowing box. Sometimes life needs to be about doing something cheap and cheerful to amuse yourself in order to save money, so I'm pretty happy with this course of action.

Of course I could write more too, but somehow I just haven't been in the mood this past week. I feel like I'm almost on the cusp of something. A bit like being on the far side of a wave as it rises. You feel the water tugging you up against the force of gravity. Trick is to paddle really quick to the crest and WOOOOOOOSH you're flying along.

Don't know that I have the energy to paddle right now. Might have to wait for the next wave.

That's the nice thing about the Ocean...there's always another wave.

Of course it's also true that you have to time that paddle to the crest just right. Paddling too fast or too soon just puts you too far past the near side of the wave where you're liable to be pounded down instead of forward.

Ah rationalization. I'm very good at it.
