The French, God bless the little Euro-union busters, consider it to be the bane of human existence: Ennui. Boredom, accompanied by a little self-indulgent depression, which in more extraordinary persons produces masterworks of art and literature, but in my case manifests itself in slightly less glamorous ways. (Like blemishes and mood swings). I ( Read more... )

Trying out Royal's 'Find your color'.....I'l have to post this to see if I did it properly.

We could hear Mellie ( Read more... )

Wow- lots and lots of travel stuff coming up this year. First, we got to Cleveland in April. I know, why Cleveland? To visit a relative, of course. Why else?

Kind of a long, slow and mildly boring day. It's feast or famine- I'm either going 90 miles an hour at work (where I'm known as the White Tornado) or I'm so bored I actually start cleaning things. Slept in until nearly 10:00 this morning, but then I didn't get to sleep until after 2:00 a.m. (Finished reading The Complete Tolkien Companion- good ( Read more... )
