Thanks for the fish

time of the year… Christmas is great… one present for you, two for me, one for you, three for me… I just get all into shopping and spend way more time in stores than usual, then I realize all the stuff I rilly rilly need! For instance, went to borders tonight and bought:

1 book for my nephew called “Titus Tidewater”. Very cute watercolor illustration. It’s about a lobster. : )
1 book for me, which I’ve wanted for a while called “Finding Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihlalyi (say that one time fast). I’ve heard of this guy… it’s basically about flow - like when you get caught up in stuff that interests you - non passive stuff, and how people who have a lot of flow in their lives are generally happier.
1 more book for me - brilliant marketing by borders - I had to buy a $20 book to get 40% off, so I somewhat randomly chose “The Moon: Myth and Image.” Oh hell… good research for…uh… something or other. tee hee. I’ve got a thing about the moon, so this looked pretty faskinatin’.

My new favorite winter drink: hot apple cider with rum! yum! it rhymes! ta dum!

Mental state: changes by the minute. Will I ever become sane? Is sanity a myth? An unattainable goal? Maybe. (I feel like Lorne Greene should be saying that, like at the end of a Battlestar Gallactica episode).

Career prospects: quite good.

Christmas shopping: hmm… half done?

Christmas plans: almost complete. Looking forward to seeing lots of old friends.

Vat else? People drive me nuts, but that goes without saying.

Oh well… I need to practice my mozart.
