Well Hello There

Um hi I know having a blog is very Spring 2003 but I am usually behind on these things. I just got an email from my good friend S and I have been pretty addicted to reading her blog. She said I should get one that maybe it will help me with my writing. I have no idea who is going to read this or if I even want anyone to. I spent most of the day staining a bookshelf and I think the fumes have gone a bit to my head. I still have a TV table, CD holder, and taller shelf to do. I think we are going to need more newspapers and more midnight blue stain.

My roommate returned from being gone all week. I did enjoy the break of having the place all tomyself but I also realize that when alone for extended periods of time I tend to be on "left to my own devices behaviour" which usually means eating badly and pretending to have conversations as if I were on dinner for five.

Watched the Preakness on NBC. It made me super nostalgic for the Derby trip of last year. Go Smart Jones. I really want to go to Belmont but I am sure it is going to be a madhouse. If it is raining like last year I am just going to go to the OTB and watch it on TV.

I am going to Mongolia in July on a yoga retreat. I've been pretty anxious about it ever I came back from my vacation the week before last. All the reasons I wanted to do it (getting WAY out of my comfort zone, Doing something for others, seeing somewhere undeveloped) are the reasons I don't want to do it. (except helping others which is why I flake out I will just let the non profit CRTP keep my money because I believe in what they are doing) Maybe it is the prospect of three weeks with a compost toilet?

Saturday night 10pm andI am home watching FUSE and started a blog. I should finish jarhead the book about a marine during the gulfwar.

Tim Russert said to larry King that he thinks the administration really rwlaizes how serious all this abuse scandal/Berg stuff is well no shit Tim thanks...I cannot wait until Aug 29th the Republicans are coming here we don't even have to go to them how nice.
