being and nothingness …

this is for you, alexis:

entertainment:

c&c, i just got in and haven’t really had time to do anything more than a few skirmishes
sims 2 was working just fine but the last time i tried to load it, i had trouble. i wrote to ea and they suggested a few things, the last one being uninstall/reinstall. [what? and lose all my progress?]
oblivion, i don’t really play too often, it can literally suck away hours of my time. i mean HOURS.

health:

back is practically pain free. there’s still a few trigger points just to the left of my lower thoracic / upper lumbar, not to mention the deep tissue ones surrounding my left hip, but all in all, i’m feeling muuuuuuuuch better. i’ll be following up with my ob-gyn about this preceding my monthly. dr. hall suspects it could be endometriosis [that seems to be the consensus of what i'm hearing from others as well]. of course i’m sure things like poor posture, weak abdominal muscles, stress and not getting enough rest, but i’m looking for any excuse to blame my uterus.

family:

the bean will be moving on to high school. i can hardly believe so much time has passed. seems like just yesterday i was in junior high myself! he’s doing so great in scouts, too. i think he’s finally come around to the idea that he actually does enjoy it. he and tim will be going to scout camp in a few weeks. then in august, he’ll be attending football camp. just the other day we were looking up drivers education courses. [in my head, i'm thinking "just the other day he was learning to ride a tricycle!" oh cruel cruel passage of time ... it is so fleeting].

work:

same old same old

social:

i’ve been terribly antisocial lately, save for a few key players in my life.

art:

trudging along. things are constantly in motion. i was thinking just the other day how the style has evolved. and how at times i miss the simplicity of my lacking skills a few years ago. i’ve tried going back, but you can’t go back, not when you’ve learned so much since then. it’s like being born without legs and then suddenly finding yourself with legs, realizing how things are so much easier. then one day, losing them and not knowing how you ever got around before. you know it was easy then, you did it all your life, it was easy because you knew no other way. but your experience is different now. and you can’t really go back.

mental:

i realize i use analogies waaaaaaaaay to much when i try to explain something. when the bean had strep, and tim related to him that he had his [tim's] tonsils out, julian asked what i thought about having his [j's] removed. i told him i was against it and then used an analogy to explain why.

misc:

that’s about it, you fellow lj-readers, in case you were all wondering. after work i’ll be dropping off work at next, heading home, have dinner and then procrastinate getting ready to go out, fighting the urge to stay home. having to literally talk myself into getting ready and leaving the house. these days, i get home friday night and don’t leave the house till monday morning. and you know what? i love it. for now anyway. alexis reminded me that the only constant thing about us scorpios is inconstancy.
