My Nose started running days ago  
I'm pretty sure that even though I'm still sitting right here in Seattle, my nose has made it to the southern tip of Florida and may well be on it's way to South America somewhere by sea. It feels a little as if my head is floating, so that would make sense at this point. Hmmmmmmm...

Regardless. If you see my nose, DO NOT TRY AND CATCH IT. Trust me, you do not want to catch this runny nose. It comes with internally heated cheeks, eyeball pressure, fluid filled ears, and random throat seepage. Though I will say it comes with some entertaining visions without the usual fever.

Again, DO. NOT. TRY. AND. CATCH. MY. RUNNING. NOSE. Let it go. Eventually, it will make it back around to Seattle, and by then I'm sure it will be back to sitting around hanging out, and I will be very content to see it that way.

Memory  
I've noticed I appear to be getting early Alzheimer's. Words and ideas float in through my eyes and or ears, and then slip out before they have time to get to the other side of my head.

I think I need to spend more time focusing and memorizing. Must do it. Like it or not. Doesn't matter that I need to memorize the constitution before the beginning of June, along with several different types of crimes with associated multiple levels and mens re and actus reus, and memorize two books worth of facts to take the comp/international law test. I need to actually focus, and memorize in a concerted manner.

Shell Silverstein, here I come. Love those poems. Time for me to memorize them. I think maybe I need to find a grade school teacher. I know they had to have had tricks when I was a kid to remember things.

But I don't remember them. HAahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAahahahahahahaha!

ever wonder?  
Ever wonder where the bus is when it is not at you'd stop? Today I am having visions of it submarining somewhere tropical. Without me. Doggonit!

eyes crossed on bus  
Have to stop reading my pocket copy of the Constitution. Will instead glance at the people staring at me and smile so they look away,quickly, in horror.

The things that entertain me. Mwahahahahahaha!

Computer Karma strikes again!  
SoooOOOOOooooo if any of you in the greater Seattle area were trying to pay for some kind of service at AT&T this morning and their card reader computers were down? Yep! My computer Karma struck big time. Usually it confines it self to just me and confounding my computer tech guys, but after 10 days with no phone, ridiculous service from old service carrier, no service from in store techs, faulty service from the insurance company, I finally gave up and switched carriers. In the process, the poor young man who was trying to help me discovered what my standard computer Karma is like. Anything that cannot and should not ever go wrong? Can and will, especially if it should not or is "impossible." Literally. Took 1.5 hours to get through opening an account because of all the never before seen errors and then finally time to pay? Their readers were down. Yes. My karma, with no office to terrorize anymore, has been just waiting for this type of situation. Fortunately, the guy was pretty new. This was an exceptional training experience for him. I have to admit it got really interesting when the married couple on the other side started into an argument. Especially when it got to, "as a man in charge...". Oh, boy. That fight did not go well. At all.

I ran!  
And I caught that bus. Strange that, but now that all the stressors of last fall are finally gone, I can't claim the bus wait at night will throw me over the "tears" edge. At least I don't think so. My school pass expires the end of March and I will not renew. I shoul have more bus blg complaints soon!

Comcast anyone?  

So a knock on my door. What? I've lived here 2.5 years and never had an unexpected knock.

Very nice young man with a tattoo around the side of his neck carefully shows me his Comcast ID and starts into the spiel.

Can I ask if you have cable or internet? I have internet, no cable. I don't have a TV.

Almost stack-jawed, almost. You don't have a TV? (I was apparently off script, which threw him off for a minute) No.

Can I ask how much you're paying? $X (Back on script quickly)

$X? Yep.

Well, I can offer you Comcast cable and internet with all these fancy features that mean you'll get free movies (on TV) and must faster internet for $Y. (His $Y was twice my current $X.)

Even he could not say it without almost laughing. I just said no thank you, and he did not even try and argue.

Nice break for the day.

Parody  
Listening to NPR, I heard a story about a lot of things, but the line that caught my attention was how Russia is not seeking "parody" with the US.  I so badly want to get out of defamation and back into a world where I recognize with clarity that Russia would not be seeking "parity" with the US.

It feels good  

I don't have anything pithy or entertaining to say, but it feels good.  I was trying to remember all the things I used to love so much and just lost the time for. 

HERE IT IS!!!!!!!  Actually, I know!

I heard a radio question not too long ago.  One of those prize winner questions?  They ask the question, and the first person to call in with the answer gets the prize?  It was something like women will do this at least X times a week.  The answer?  Drop something in the toilet.

Want to guess what I did about once a year until 3 weeks ago when I heard that question/answer session? Ye-ah.  Want to guess what I seem to be doing about twice a day now for some reason?  Yes.  Still yes. 

Put the lid down, dummy! 

I'm off to check and be sure my lid is down now before I make it 4 times for today.
