This One's a Bit Boring OK, tomorrow marks some sort of beginning, if not of another chapter, then, at least, another page in the Sole Proprietor's book. I talked with Gino at work and he's up for putting together a crew to move me to the new apartment. Now I have to get my act together and get some change of address cards from the post office at work tomorrow, arrange packing boxes, get an ADSL line installed during the week prior to August 15th (you can see where my priorities lie) and call the storage company to arrange one of those drop off the back of their truck and pick up later cubes so I can get rid of most of what I call my belongings but others, more correctly, might call junk. All the model railroad stuff, half the books, the computer parts and cables, anything that looks like it won't be used in the first week in the new apartment.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the fourth calendar month since the jaw
operation April 6th. Seems more like years. What did it feel like to not
Another thing. (what, another New Year's resolution? Shit, when are these going to stop?) I've pretty much kept the weight off I lost after the operation, but I'd like to lose some more and I'm not going to lose any more unless I get some exercise. I really don't like exercise. Except walking. My new apartment is 1 1/2 miles from work and walking back and forth every day, at least during the summer, would be about right. I used to walk an hour in the evening in Napa and now I need to start again. The apartment is up on a hill near a neighborhood with a theater, restaurants and coffee shops at the bottom, which takes care of the weekends. Coffee at the bottom of the hill. This is maybe another "say it but don't do it" routine, but who knows, I have actually walked for long periods in my checkered past and felt good for it.
I remember running Greenlake in Seattle before going into the Army, jump boots
and a sweat suit for 3 3/4 miles, every evening for, what, six months.
Hated it. Didn't like a lot of the stuff they got excited about in the Army.
Bayonet practice. Didn't like bayonet practice, except, well, during my days
in the Army there was some chance I would have to use it. I didn't really want
to get sliced and diced too damned easily just because I didn't stick some
What movie character is the woman in the picture above playing at being? There were two or three others with the same getup, dark glasses and black hair. I want to think it's Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, but it's probably somebody else. Short term memory loss. I should've made it a point to get a shot of every one of them, but then I should have set the correct camera exposure too. I like the décolletage. Of course. |
