As I am laying here on my couch with my back out... I am thinking about a total new approach to things here. Ah, pain...
Music has always been something that I've run to for comfort, enlightenment, venting...whatever. As I start converting all of my CD's over to .mp3 formatted files, here is what I got to tonight.
Everything But The Girl - Temperamental
Saga - Beginner's Guide to Throwing Shapes
PJ Harvey - Is This Desire?
Janet - Janet
Tweet - Southern Hummingbird
Bjork - Homgenic
Jane Child - Here Not There
Rob Zombie - American Made Music To Strip By
David Bowie - Outside
I didn't know...
I found out...
So many things...
The letters from the brink...
They are coming through...loud and clear...
...end of line...
Life... a movie in my head...
Okay, completed all the shopping yesterday and went through a round of posting my pics from my shopping excursion yesterday. I had a blast and it was just so refreshing not to be stressed out.
The Sears Tower was enshrouded in mist at the very top... as I got off the trainn to head to Target, the fog shroud cleared up. The sky was a very interesting blue and lo and behold... setting the exposure up a notch and the entire day's worth of photos took on a dreamlike quality.
That's all for now... Happy Holidaze! *0)
I have to note that when I left work yesterday, The Loop seemed to be a very surreal place. The major rush of folks had passed. Quite a few people left or were let go early from their jobs. Of course, there was still hustle and bustle but it seemed more controlled.
I loved the colors of the early evening... A light drizzle adding some slickness to the evening's festivities. I felt like I was in a dream. I also have to say that with the gorgeous lights, it seemed festive enough but not quite Christmas-like...
As I finish typing this very short entry, I prepare to wade out for my big push to getting the final pieces in order for the holiday. Wish me luck!

I am now after work and posting this journal entry before I leave for the night. As I was going through the photos I have, I found this one from the end of summer and had to post it. My view at lunch today was exactly the same as this in terms of seating placement at the food court. I had the spicy chicken teryaki again. Alas, it was just okay...
I decided to bring my new laptop outside on the perfect day. It is now raining out and frankly, I'm thinking I need better protection from the rain...
Well, there isn't much to say except that I am trying to juggle quite a few things in order to tie up the year on a good note. So much has happened this year and I am anxious to try to make sense of it all and come to grips with it. I do have to say that on the creative front, everything is moving along quite nicely. My determination to soak my mind in different influences and gaining inspiration from different stimuli (in terms of visual and creative mediums) has really been quite the adventure.
Okay, it is time to jet. As I prepare to journey out into the big bad world out there, I'm chuckling that I was called a gay communist by one of my users at my job today. That was pretty funny and quite possibly a true statement. *-)
So you think your new best friend is going to be loyal to you. I wonder. I stare at my new Inspiron E1505 and think, "This bitch had better not crash on me anytime soon or I will be pissed." I do know that my typing these words mean absolutely nothing. If Bella (my new 'puter's name) decides to hiccup... she will do so and there is simply nothing I can do about it.
I want you to know that I actually did type up a brand new blog entry earlier today right before I left work. It was based around my fears and thoughts about mortality. Watching someone close to me going through a health battle that seems to be getting darker and more dismal. I posted a picture that I had really liked. It had to do with passing lights moving very fast... speeding by... like this year has ... like life has... It is sometimes very scary to me because the reality of it all hits. Life is what we have now... and the body of experiences is stretching behind me... technically, more years behind me now than what is expected to be ahead (according to the national life expectancy statistics). Oh, well... what can you do? I choose to keep striving forward. There are some cool experiences regarding traveling and just taking some time to get settled and enjoy a weekend or three just chilling. We all deserve this, don't we?
Now I'm off to bouncing into my web design program and our work forums (as the pages load, I'll skitter into another window and work on some of the new visuals I'm planning to put up). I just can't get enough of the Mat Kearney CD.
Okay, more either later or tomorrow. I also have to replace the battery in my cell and time is running out as the evening is getting later and later heading towards sleepy time.
