"It won't be long before we'll all be there with..."

SNOW!

The weather here in our area of the States has meant no school, no work, and more time to improve my Guitar Hero skills. However, it has also meant a rather sedentary day and a sore left wrist, arm, and shoulder from playing Guitar Hero too long.

Sadly it has also meant a day away from my honey. He tried to convince me to come over last night before the bad weather set in, but I chose to stay home assuming that our weather people were underestimating the coming winter storm and that we would still have school today.

Thankfully, no school today. Regretfully, no time with Zack today.

However, I have had a chance to work on some of the smaller projects that I needed to get done. The plan now is to get most, if not all, of my work done so that I can enjoy more time with him later. That's the plan at least.

In regards to last night however, my best friend and I got to spend time with an older couple we both know from church. They are exceptionally sweet, hospitable, kind, and funny people. The meal that Elaine cooked was simple but SO good: homemade burgers, cheese dip, and any desired fixings. The conversation was honest, lovingly probing, and deeply caring. I'm glad to have them in my life.

Until next time, may those enjoying snow benefit from the time to relax!

Definitely human

Have you ever seen the movie FernGully: The Last Rainforest? There is a scene where the human character is carving the fairy Crysta's name into a tree. She stops him and asks if he can't feel the tree's pain. The sarcastic response from Batty Koda, as voiced by Robin Williams, was:

"Humans can't feel anything. They're numb from the brain down"

Best quote.

I'm feeling it tonight/this morning. Spending the past few hours nearly stationary working on my online Neurobiology homework has left both my brain and my butt numb. Sleep is casting a siren call and I'm ready to jump overboard.

While I'm still up though, I've been thinking about fellow blogger Kimberly (though I don't know her in person) and hoping all is well with school and life. Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way! C:

I'm an Actor Out of Work

That's what Annie Clark told me. Sang to me.

Annie Clark is St. Vincent: ilovestvincent.com and St. Vincent makes brilliant music.



In other news:

A - Christmas holiday has been stupendous! Especially the extra time with Zack.

B - As most in my station probably do, I wish there was more time for holiday. I'd love to spend more time with Zack, D, and my family. Getting my sleep schedule in order would be a good idea too.

C - I purchased my textbooks and figured out my budget for the Spring semester, so I'm feeling pretty confident school-wise, at least for a time.

D - My personal custom has been such that I have not written formal goals or resolutions for the past few New Years. However, my short list is:

.health (drop 16 kilos by May's end?)
