Woke up to snow this morning.


This year spring came a bit on the early side, and I wasn't quite ready to let winter go... but over the last few weeks I have gotten used to the idea that the snow is out and the green grass will soon be in. So, snow this morning was confusing. Was I happy? What I upset?

Meh. It's all melted now regardless.

Anyway, the weather feels remarkably like my state of mind these days. Am I coming or going? What exactly is my plan here? No plan!? What a shocker.

I was asked a while back -if there's one thing you could change about you to make a healthy improvement in your life, what would it be?

There are actually quite a lot of things, but after some thought I realised that the biggest change would be to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. And I think I'd have to add that that means actually GETTING up after I wake up. Like, setting the alarm for 6 am and getting up without hitting the snooze button for 45 minutes. I wish I was exaggerating.

So, WHY NOT? What am I ever going to accomplish by just theorising about it?? Tomorrow is the first day of a new month, what better time to start than with a fresh new month? I've heard it said that it take a month to ingrain a new habit, so here goes... I'm committing to going to bed every night at 10 pm and waking up at 6 am every morning for April 2010.

Bless their sweet, invasive, presumptuous, jack ass souls.


Jay Dubs visited my house yesterday. The dog went completely nutzo and wanted to eat them - it would be to my immense satisfaction if she were trained to only bark at the J to the D-U-Bs, but really she's a bitch to all visitors. I told them I wasn't interested and then they still tried to leave a pamphlet on the porch. But I yelled, 'no thank you, NO THANK YOU' when they asked if I wanted one.

After I closed the door I realised the more appropriate response would have been "HELL NO!"

One day I'm going to invite them in and ask them:

If Adam and Eve were the first two humans, and everyone after that is a descendant of them, then that must mean they had to commit some SERIOUS incest to get us all here. So does that mean that incest really IS best and we should keep it in the family?

Where's Freud when you need him?

Last night I dreamt that I was Carey Mulligan fighting cancer in my foot, and then, like in a movie, my dream flashed back to the night that I discovered it. There was a dance performance but the woman who was to do it didn't show up, so somehow I was put into costume and shoved onto stage to take her place. I had no idea what the routine was, so made it up on the spot. At times it was good, at other times it was just plain wrong. At one point, the costume (a sequined figureskateresque blue number) slipped down and it was a bit before I noticed both my boobs were hanging out. Anyway, when the song finally ended, I staggered off stage to where my roommate/best male friend was waiting for me (it was Elena's nice ex-boyfriend from the Vampire Diaries, NOT that I have ever watched that drivel. NOT that he is exceedingly waaaay too young for me, though not for Carey Mulligan. But I digress.) and said "something's wrong". And without any need for more information (it was like he knew) lifted me off my feet and clung me to him and whisked me off to a little alcove where we could be alone. Then he started probing my foot until he found the lump, don't ask me why we both were looking for a lump and not a sprain or broken foot... I already said it was like he knew. And then all the clunging and whisking and probing... I was turned on despite the discovery of a lump in my foot (I KNOW! Finally something good in my dream) and that's exactly when my radio alarm clicked on and wrecked my dream.

It wasn't even good radio.
