droolie's corner o' the planet

odd

Apparently yesterday's blog entry did post.  After I checked twice and then turned of the computer.  And then checked again just now before scribbling the POOF post.  Methinks the pesky aliens are messing with me again.  :)

hmmm...yesterday's post went POOF

I don't know why.  All was well and good until I hit the little save button.  Then my antivirus popped up with some bullhonkery about it trying to access my credit card number and the post just up and disappeared with it.  Good thing I really hadn't had much to say. 

My brainbucket seems to be settling down again, since I'm in more consistent air temps all day.  Between the weather shifts and hormone shifts all summer, I went through about three long cycles of off and on mig beasties, with a couple of weeks in between cycles.  Oddball stuff.  But now it seems to be settling back into that pattern of only a couple of migs a month.  Now I just have to get the latest fibro flare squashed (I was a bit too gung ho at school, getting all up and running, and my upper back and shoulders doth protest too much).  All will be good in time. 

I meant to catch up blogging the week between pool and school, but the blasted computer tried to die.  It kept crashing.  Too much spyware had weasled its way onto the thing.  All is better now, thanks to the Geek from the Geek Squad.  The ads are right.  I did want to hug the guy when he got us up and running. 

I also rented movies last weekend.  I loved RV, rather liked Poseidon, and found Ring Around the Rosie to be amusing enough to watch in its entirety, despite the fact that it used every cliche in the book.  The latter was a direct-to-video (I think) billed as horror, but was more of a suspense movie with a touch of supernatural thrown in.  All three perfect for a night where I just wanted to crash and not think. 

And that's about it.  Not overly exciting, I know.  But it's my little rut. 

how long ago did i last post?

Probably longer ago than I dare care to look up.  I think.  Oh, well.  Life gets busy.  I did have a week off between my pool job and my school job, but that was spent trying to see to the Incredible Crashing Computer, so blogging was out.  As was foruming, and surfing book reviews, and all kinds of fun stuff.  But, just like the ads say, I did want to hug the Geek Squad guy when he was done restoring order. 

Brainbucket-wise, it's been much better.  I had a bit of a rocky summer with a couple of longish cycles from a club trigger sandwich of hormone shifts and weather.  But I seem to be heading back into just one or two a month again.  So it's all good.  I'll take it.  I might even run. 

Other than that, it's been reading (a hodgepodge, and I forget all what I've read), watching a lot of the Food Network in the evenings, and last weekend a couple of movies rented.  RV was a lot of fun.  I also really liked Poseidon.  The third was a straight-to-video horror movie called Ring Around the Rosie.  I won't claim it wasn't cliched on a lot of levels, but it was amusing enough to watch the whole thing.  I would, however, classify it more as a suspense movie than horror, with some supernatural elements. 

These days it's just a matter of getting back into the school thing, which I'm quite content with, and starting to read the sixteen titles for our annual Battle of the Book competition (I call 'em BoB books), as I help out with that and mentor teams.  Nothing too big.  Just retraining my back and muscles to different situations and working out the slight fibro kinks.  Readjusting.  At least my brainbucket is playing nicely.

See?  So exciting.
