well run dry

i have many good ideas at the wrong moment

moments late at night just before sleep

moments in the shower when all's too wet

ideas that i want to expound on

ideas that would make brilliant, scintilating blog entries

too many ideas to count

yet i sit here, brain-numbed from work, and not one of them comes to me

i'm left pondering the emptiness instead

hello from the harbor
originally written May 21st at 4pm...stupid trojan!


Well, I'm heading out to the airport on the harbor ferry. My super short trip back to Boston has been exhausting but worthwhile.

Thanks to the superb art direction of Dudette, we have a great picture of Gram with all six grandkids. That makes me happy. Had a good time at the wedding catching up with aforementioned cousins, and later got to spend time with Mom and Dad.

There's a bit more to tell, but the ferry's out on open water, so I'll leave it for later and enjoy the ride.

bwooooop! bwoooop!

That's the sound of the fire alarm at my cousin's wedding. Someone in the wedding party was being naughty and smoked out in the non-smoking hallway.

That's also the sound that explains my non posting. I have several on my cell phone that need to be transferred, but I got home to discover that my computer was experiencing technical difficulties. Poor baby has a trojan.

The thing that irritates me most is that the program it disguised itself as purported to be from a security company. Now, if I was of a less suspicious nature, I would've just assumed that my inhouse IT man had installed something new while I was gone. He's often installing nifty upgrades as a little treat for me so clicking on the button that would release little Greek computer code into my personal Troy would've been a rather natural thing to do. Sorry, that analogy sounded much better in my head, but somehow I now have a large question mark in my mind about the naming of a certain prophylactic company.

Anyway. Thankfully, something about the way the dialogue box read struck me as odd so I asked G before clicking. He's working on rolling the horse on out, but it'll take a bit. Until then, this post from his computer will have to keep me in the game.

lost again in lost

I admit it. I doubted the show after being a bit dissapointed by this seasons openers. The extra long hiatus they took didn't help me rekindle my fire for the show. Then the hiatus finally ended and the episodes ran hot and cold....okay, even the worst were at least lukewarm, but not the great blow-my-mind episodes the first season had served up. The past five or six weeks have more than made up for it. The end of every episode has me once again turning to G and asking WTF? I'm legitimately excited about the last two episodes of the season.

My LOST is back!

one minute at a time

So here I sit, late on a Sunday night. Pushing tomorrow away, one minute at a time. My friends, Tivo and the Internet, close by my side.
