Another step ahead

    "I'll have the steak, please."
    "Okay, sir, and how do you like your steak?"
    "I like it very much, thank you."
    "No, sir, how do you want your steak cooked?"
    "On the highest level, please."

Consciousness Slipping In (and out)

I don't get it. I sleep kinda late, I wake up kinda late. I sleep really late, I wake up really early. I'm tired.
...

I've been ODing on CSI lately. I have to say, I'm enjoying the addition of Laurence Fishburne as Ray Langston. I can't seem to get enough of this show--it just gets my nerdy bone in the right spot. That and Hodges and Sims make the ultimate beauty and the geek with emotional angst ever.
...

Last night (before AND after my attempts at sleeping), I cast out a LOT of lines. I'm hoping at least a few of them hit. It's always nice to know people care about you.
...

My pre-bedtime ritual is to delve into a book to get my eyes all sleepy. I finished my current read last night--The Book Thief--on recommendation from ehbaba. Good. Book. I almost cried. Almost. But really. It was a great read. I probably finished it in 4 sincere sittings.
...

Okay, yet another CSI marathon to go with my knitting...for as long as I can stay conscious that is.

One step ahead of you

    *SNEEZE*
    "Bless you."
    "You're welcome."
...

Yeah. So...I'm an idiot. It's okay if you don't get it--I didn't get it at first either.

Out with the old

Reorganized my sidebar links the other day. It made me sad to decide to take down the links that I hadn't clicked on myself in a very long time. They were classics, but if you hadn't clicked them already, then it was too late to do so--their glory days were over.

I did, however, add a few, so feel free to peruse...or demand that I remove them, depending on your affinity of them.

Misery loves company

I got an email. Knowing I wasn't going to reply to it, I forwarded it to a few of my ladies instead. The responses:

Oh wow... you've officially made my night, Boo. That was so damn entertaining.

That is fucking hilarious! OMG that made my night. Thanks.

That was AWESOME. I can't even give you the highlights of my favourite bits because it would be just be a copy and paste of the entire email!!!

OMG that's super creepster...

HOLY SHIT! this is totally off the reservation!!! scary!!!! Ridiculous!!!
...

I love it. It wasn't my misery that needed company--it was someone else's. :)

Colour Blind

Not everything in life can be defined as black or white. Some things are not definitely wrong, while others aren't absolutely right. There is no rulebook or manual that you can go to to see if something is right or wrong. Even in the cases where there ARE rulebooks, you should see how many little points and sub-sections there are to each rule (trust me, I've looked) because there are just that many nuances that make up any given situation. And despite all of those little points and sub-sections and additions and notes, there's always going to be that one exception to the rule.

This is the reason why we don't have robots that can do very much for us beyond anything that can be defined in binary. That's why all those movies are made over whether or not a machine programmed with 1s and 0s can actually mimic a human experience.

Life is not binary.

For those who think it is, they're missing not just the shades of grey in between, but the whole spectrum of colours that make life beautiful.

Oh bother

It's a cloudy day out...right where I am. Looking out the windows, driving in the car, I can see just far enough in the distance to the edge of the clouds and the blue skies beyond.

I feel like Eeyore...with my own little raincloud following me around.
