Jigs

Photobucket
This evening was filled with my Sissy and I doing Irish jig dances about the living room, trying to learn the steps, and stumbling about over our own feet many times. Now it smells like sweat and tea, and the old furniture in here. My legs are sore, but in that good way, how they've been used and are tired and will probably hurt in the morning from all the stretching I did. Yesterday it was just my mother and I in the house all day. It was a rare thing for us to spend the whole day together, but I enjoyed it. We had muffins in the morning and read tasty recipes out of cook books(most of which we will never make, but it's fun to think about them :] ). We went to dinner at an Indian food restaurant where they played fun Arabic music and served lime soda that tasted a bit more like lime seawater, but the food was great. (I have really started to fancy Indian food. I don't know when I became okay with spicy things.) Then we watched American History X, which was fantastic. Edward Norton is an awesome actor. It has been a surprisingly pleasant and calm weekend. Well, bed and books await me. Horray for working evening shift for the next two weeks!

I want to go swimming.
But I have no water.
And I don't float.



I'm thinking of chopping off all my hair. It's heavy and gets all in the way all the time. But every time I say I'm going to call my hair cutter man, I just don't, and then I'm happy I didn't. Yeah, been like that for the last several years though. Perhaps one day I'll follow through. Probably not.

So I was pretty upset yesterday. I got my first filling in my teeth. :( I went so long being cavity-free. It just doesn't seem right getting one now. It didn't hurt like people said it would. Just a bit of a sting when they injected that numbing stuff into my jaw. Still, I don't like the fact that I got one. Harumph, grumble, grumble, grumble!

Anyways, I've been reading several good books. Lamb, the Gosple According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore was absolutely great. I was cracking up the whole time I read it. I'd recommend it, but it is definitely not for anyone too uptight and doesn't have a sense of humor about stuff. I'd also recommend two CD's I purchased recently. The Weepies is the band and I believe it is the name of their first album. It's a very laid back sound, and has a blue whale on the cover. Who wouldn't buy whale-branded music? There was also the self titled album by Vampire Weekend. Good background driving stuff.
So that's what I've been up to for the last month or so. Reading, working, weird music, and the not-so-infrequent movie. Summer passes quickly as it all blends together. I wonder what it will be like when summer is no longer a significant period of time. When the "year" actually begins in January instead of August, and
Well, something.
It is just like expected, and doesn't make that much difference.

On a different note, at work there are all these jun bugs dead on the floor of the building where we fill the weather balloons, and they always get stuck in my shoes. I'm noticing one now. Nasty, crunchy critters. We have the building blown out every few days, but more tend to fly in there and take to dying. True, it is an open building-shed-like thing, but seriously. Eww.

There's some saying...

...about the worth of a picture...

The incredible thing about us
is those silent moments mean the most.

So I guess I left it in the sink.
But I really didn’t remember.

I like being called kid,
When it’s said so affectionately.

When I drive into Shreveport,
I still think about this.

Photobucket
I think I'd call it,
an infatuation.

PhotobucketPhotobucket
I still like to pretend.

Night turns to day too quickly around here.

Putting stuff on your head
can make you happy.
