Shakespeare Festival Coming to Town

mentions a few of the fun facts about the bard. I need to reread one of his plays sometime this summer, if only to reset my brain from the daily mish-mash otherwise known as mainstream media websites.

Probably, "As You Like It," or open the book at random. That is fun to do.

Mt. Rushmore's Nip and Tuck

Testing import from blog to notes on Facebook, including picture and associated link.

Blogs themselves are becoming increasingly less relevant.

ABBA Weekend

Mamma Mia was so bad, and now....I can't STOP.

Not my fault.

Some forces in nature harbor small resentment to pitiful walls of opposition.

These guys were offered a billion dollars for one more tour.

They said, "no."

Happy Sunday

Hi world,

Not going to rant on anyone today, just glad to be alive.

What a quiet, silent morning here in H-Town. Not a breath of wind under the stars.

Some bright planet hangs to the south. It circles the sun, just like we do.

That profound sound do get around.

The only thing that could possibly curb my joy of living this morning....bitter coffee. As Shakespeare might not say, "Yuck."

Times Have Changed

No, that is not the space shuttle, which launched yesterday to no fanfare.

This is Apollo 11, 40 years ago, when people cared more about the future and national pride than giving your hard-earned money to illegal aliens for their vote.

Summer is Definitely Here

If there was any doubt, the daily torpid heat is seemingly here to stay in H-Town, forcing indoor activity from 80% to about 95%. I should not be surprised, and admittedly am not.

Ah, the mutual hum of dehumidifier and A/C in blended harmony.

Sunday I ordered a new FlipVideo camera, just to have it. Maybe I'll make a video blog and stick it on here? Also needed a new external hard drive for backing up the main computer. Then I can use the other one to back up the MacBook. Can't be too careful. Had a scare the other day when I became over-zealous deleting directories, including some system folders I actually needed.

Ooops.

Have a good one out there.

Geico Commercials

Ever notice the Geico guy has an Australian accent?

Yes, just wanted to use up more blog space.

What is the Second Thing You Do in the Morning?

Facebook, of course.

Yes, I tweet too. And it gets a lot of hype, but seems too "all over the place" for me, unless I choose someone interesting to follow for a while.

I need to back up my Emerson photo collection and can probably copy those files onto this blog host, or MobileMe gallery. But what I really need is a nice big external hard drive for the MacBook, run Time Machine, and stop worrying.

Since I blew off most of Friday playing "Mafia Wars" and prowling the refrigerator, I should make this morning useful. I live in the kind of house where, if you direct your gaze in any direction, something needs to be done.

It gets so confusing, pulls to domestic order from so many directions. Seems like the balance point of equilibrium resides right here in this Lazy-Boy armchair.

Go figure.

Dreams = Rest?

Most of the time, if I dream a lot during the night, I feel like my brain has properly unwound and some kind of real rest has taken place.

But not today. Perhaps because Tuesday night I had trouble sleeping at all. This morning after various hyper-episodes since midnight, I am up, but sluggish.

One more full day of work, then a couple off to regroup. Not even going to bar-b-que. Staying indoors, out of this remorseless heat and humidity.
