Monthly Update Meme

Because I know you're all just dying to know this stuff...

Current clothes: Blue hoodie with the Blogger logo on the front. Black t-shirt from Mt. St. Helens under it. Tan jeans. Black belt. White crew socks. Black sneakers.

Current mood: Pretty good. The upside to working a bunch of overtime (aside from the money, of course) is that it makes you appreciate every moment of free time. Just not being at work is enough to make me feel happy right now.

Current music: Pachelbel's Greatest Hit: Canon in D, my guaranteed never-fail Serious Stress Reduction Music. I played it at work earlier, then when it finished, I turned the volume up and started playing it again. Which tells you something about what work was like today.

Current annoyance: I still have a big old icky snot-glob hanging out in the back of my throat. And, yes, that's disgusting to hear about, I know, but, trust me, it's even more disgusting to have.

Current thing: Waiting for this week to be over so I can be off the day shift.

Current desktop picture: This Astronomy Picture of the Day photo of Earthrise on the moon.

Current song in head: "Sometimes a Fantasy" by Billy Joel. Who I am kind of starting to wish would keep his fantasies to himself.

Current book: Doctor Who and the Claws of Axos. Not one of the show's most interesting or exciting (or, for that matter, scientifically plausible) episodes. But the writing, at least in places, actually seems rather better than Terrance Dicks' usual for these novelizations. There are some nice moments of humor.

Current video in player: Nothing since the last episode of Battlestar Galactica.

Current DVD in player: Disc 1 of Season 3 of The Sopranos.

Current refreshment: Moroccan Mint tea. That's mint-flavored green tea. Excellent stuff.

Current worry: The cracks in my walls are expanding again. I suspect part of the reason is that it's been dry as a bone here for months, which leads to soil shrinkage. But I don't like it at all, and I'm particularly worried about damage to my new stucco.

Current thought: It's nice to have a cat on my lap who actually sits still, rather than jumping up and down onto my keyboard and bouncing all over the place. Good Nova! Of course, being that Vir isn't in the room, I'm now wondering what trouble he's getting into elsewhere in the house...
