Click images for desktop size: "Girl In Bedroom" by Argyros Oumbertos I enjoyed having a day off.
I want two days off in a row, but for now this will suffice.
My puppy and I went for a lot of walks today. Did a lot of housework, laundry, yard work etc.
I don't like that most of this seems to have become my responsibility but I'm not going to let that ruin my day.
I am thinking about moving.
I don't want to but  . . .
And there's the concept of moving to someplace instead of just drifting.
I don't think I mind drifting, but I can't do that. I owe that to my puppy.
She was pretty horrible today. We get along so well when it's just us that I am surprised at how much she dislikes other people, and worse how much she over reacts if I'm out of sight for even a minute.
She's getting larger and she's starting to lose her puppy fur. People still boldly approach us in the street. Some are alright and some are just kind of . . . ignorant?
This was one of those days that leads to near panic. At least as near as I get to panic.
I was walking along with my puppy, listening to music (as usual) and I realized how angry I was.
I'm tired of being ill.
I've had enough of it.
I can't believe how I've allowed it to upset my life.
I don't regret any of the decisions I made about my lifestyle but sometimes I can't help but wish I'd never gotten sick.
But it was a beautiful day. Everything seemed clean after the rain and I had friends, a life and a puppy.
Most people don't have one of those let alone all three.
So I kept walking.
And I thought about dogs and children being ill and felt angry and impotent all over again.
I enjoyed my $1 DVD so much I got TWO more. "Hercules Unchained" which was better than I expected it to be. I like cute Italian women . . . and another Double Feature DVD with two Gamera flics . . . I like Gamera, the giant fire breathing, jet propelled flying turtle . . . turtle?? Yeah, giant turtle. But, hey man, he beat Godzilla!
I put them on and then encoded a few dozen m4a's.
ACC encoding just makes mp3 look primitive. Even with all the brilliant work being put into the LAME encoder, ACC is faster, has fewer problems, fewer artifacts and produces smaller files to achieve transparency.
I got an email from the high school coach. I admire that he was trying to pump me for info. I find it amusing that somehow I'm perceived as an offensive "genius."
Hell, I like being flattered even if I don't quite believe it. At least he didn't call me an offensive guru.
I hate being called a guru.
I did nothing today about moving the site back to Movable Type . . .
It just fatigued me to think about it.
I'm also still on the same treatment for another week.
