thoughts: April 2006 Archives
today was one of those days where i felt slightly disconnected from reality and all that was around me. you know what i mean? where you wake up tired and you feel that the rest of the day is spent trying to rub the sleep out of your eyes?
it wasn't to the point where i couldn't function or accomplish anything. we managed to meet a colleague of thomas' for coffee. we grocery shopped. we purchased a guide book for t's trip to china this summer. we arranged our housing for berlin this summer. we ate. t cooked. laundry. several chapters of a book. walked roxy. even a nap. but the day feels like a waking dream. hazy.
so what's my point? sundays spent with the husband, not accomplishing anything are so refreshing. may we have thousands, if not millions more of these days.
the other day thomas told me that he was watching oprah again. or at least some show like it. he said it was all about a problem that women seem to have primarily. friendships and ending them.
some many years ago, i used to be friends with someone. someone that i grew to like a lot. someone i did not appreciate at first nor wanted a relationship with initially. over some time, and having been thrown into social situations with this someone, a friendship formed. this someone had some great qualities, was fun, and interesting to me.
but there was another side to the someone.
a conversation had just moments ago:
"the italian job?"
"yeah."
"is that charlize theron?"
"i like to refer to her as my girlfriend."
"really?"
"yeah."
conclusion: he is delusional.
i have a crap load of work to do. and i have to get it done by tomorrow.
so. when i get stressed with this kind of pressure, i usually need some sort of creative outlet to focus my attention on meeting my deadlines.
for example: i have been pondering the sounds animals make and have come to the "creative" (some would say absurd) conclusion that sheep were cursed to baa because they had foul mouths. yep. sheep curse. a lot.
think about it. they get sheared and aren't asked whether or not they want it. they are herded around. and they do baa an awful lot. i think they are cursing. see. that helps me focus somehow. weird how my mind works.
