There and Back Again

My mother always talked to me a lot about the sky. She liked to watch the clouds in the day and the stars at night…especially the stars. We would play a game sometimes, a game called “What’s Beyond the Sky?” We would imagine darkness or a blinding light or something else that we didn’t know how to name. But of course, that was just a game. There’s nothing beyond the sky. The sky just is, and it goes on and on, and we play all of our games beneath it.

That was one of the last (the last actually i think) lines from “Taken”, delivered beautifully by Dakota Fanning. I started off my first full night of empty-house (no more mikey bert) by finally sitting down to watch the last episode of that miniseries. and now i am watching a special about the burmuda triangle i downloaded this morning… so far it doesn’t seem to be particularly insightful.

Alien abductions, dissapearances in the burmuda triangle, ghost ships, etc. They all fascinate me. These things are so easy to dismiss as collective fear and belief in something greater than oneself, yet are they? ok, this maybe an asside, but the camerawork in this bermuda special is just obnoxious! i am tempted to stop watching!

I am resolved to make a habbit of going to bed before midnight… starting tomorrow!

3 day weekend! i could probably stop there. I feel like a kid again. and since i can’t have a summer break ( all those elementary / middle / high school / college teachers / professors get them though, at least a summer variance..) i will take what i can get. I have made up my mind to go to DC this weekend, hang at megans and see things at the zoo, also friends. Visiting Kristine in Chicago would have been nice, but i would not have gotten any relaxation out of that trip.

x3 this weekend also, and mike is moving out as well. so i will probably have to think about finding a new housemate. funk. well, i am tiredish and have some junk i want to do yet rather than blog, so amahoro yall!

So mike and i have been watching Taken, was a miniseries of sorts that ran on SciFi a few years back. about aliens of course. its actually pretty good, which is suprising because most of the things scifi produces are utter crap. this comes after we just finished watching all of arrested development, which was prlly like the third time i had seen all the eps!

When i was at home last weekend, people at church kept asking me all those normal moved out of the house type questions, and i must admit i got a little tired of being like yeah, no i actually don’t mind cooking for myself, yeah no i don’t really have any favorites yet… blah blah blah. I might not hate it, but that doesn’t mean i like spending a lot of time doing it!

gosh my life feels so uninteresting right now. only becuase none of the things that run through my mind all day matter to anyone else really. its all about things like gosh i need to find a way to sublass that dialog box in this program so i can figure out a way to keep the dialog from showing since the programs api doesn’t provide a way to do it, or should i hook into the windows messages being sent to that window and block it that way? see what i mean?

Messiah grad is this weekend. i plan on stopping in fri for the free food thing, and then see the grad on sat. I don’t remember who all that i know at messiah is graduating this year, or who is next year. but thats ok. i’ll figure that out friday! maybe. friday is tomrrow my brain just told me. ouch. that means this has already been a week.!? look its 12:58, i should……. go to bed sometime.

here’s hoping i see some friends this weekend!
