Landlord came, visited for all for 15 seconds and moved on. Works for me.. save me having to put a stamp on the rent check, and inspires me to do more research into a purchased home. One of the potential buyers was having a Dr. Pepper and a fistful of Hershey's kisses.

Ravi,the new nurse came by and was good about changing the dressing.. but it was done so fast that I forgot to ask her to take a pic of the wound. still mending nicely, no infection.

Monsterism..I wanted to design the grotto like this at one point.. map based tabs and 2 and 1/2D traveling.

Cold fudgesicle works wonders for grumbles... throat's still a little sore... the cold chocolate ice melting makes it feel better, and I get the comfort-food factor in as well. Mostly quiet today, now. I think Nap-time will happen soon. I wonder how fast I'll work through the comfort food over the next week.

Still sleeping off and on, but more soundly than the night prior. I wonder where the raccoons that used to live around here are these days.

Cathi's 8 months into her pregnancy! It seems like only the other day she was carrying Mayah. I worry that they have more work cut out for them than they can handle, but Dave's a pretty sturdy guy. If he whips through the house and lasts through it, the benefits will be great.

Thinking about my sweetie right now, and she brings comfort and good feelings. Contemplating a "November" skin for once Halloween passes. Nothing's leaping to mind, though.

Found out the new scenes in the Special Edition of Alien are minimal (you may not notice them at all), but the cleaned-up print looks better than most movies made today, and the brilliant sound design--now remixed in digital surround--makes one of the scariest movies ever made even more frightening. Sounds good to me!

I'm craving wasabe peas... settling instead for garlic tobasco mixed in with cooked green beans. Not as crunchy, but has a nice bite, and texture.

Got a nice call from my brother, checking up on me, He starts his new gig Monday...I hope that he sticks with it and does well.

Nap-time. Until later, dear journal!

current music: La Historia del mamut
current mood: Ok.

I don't know what it is, but it seems I attract friends that are super-transient. I don't think I'm going to chum up with computer programmers anymore especially as I've had the worst luch with them moving off to Texas, California, and other points west, near places with deserts. Ray & Kathleen, Alex, Jim, and no doubt, shortly (when leases are up?) Robb, Brian, and Heather (If she and Brian can keep it together. I'm pretty surprised it's lasted this long... maybe she needs to marry a guy, before relationships start to fragment? Maybe Brian was what she needed? Who knows? I'm happy if they're happy, and I'll be saddened when it they go through what I feel is the inevitable breakup.) I'm very fortunate to have a few friends that are more securely anchored. Danny, Dave, Cathi are solid... Suzy's good, but more needy on that spectrum.
