I hate waiting
Oct. 12th, 2014 03:46 pmI love the Other Human, I do. Even when he plops in front of the teevee all day watching football.
Actually, we have a new neighbor across the street. She seems a nice person, but apparently is hard of hearing. Her television is on the opposite wall of her front room--we can see it when both sets of blinds are open, and of course the speakers face the window, and us. And she runs it ALL THE TIME when she's home, and I can hear the rumble. I've started keeping music on just to mask the murmur. It's not loud, and I feel morally inferior for failing to ignore it, but it's *there*, like dire muttering in the background, like demons are going to break through the walls and floor and enter this dimension. Sorry, But that's always bubbling away in my backbrain because *it never ever stops* as long as her car is here. I'd rather try to ignore the yappy little dog with separation anxiety down the street. So really, OH watching football all day is helping to mask the murmurmurmurmurmumbletymurmurmurmurmurdermurdermurder...
Um. Yes. But basically, I'm just waiting til they both go to bed and I can watch the TorCon vids. Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner. Rocking.

gone too soon
Aug. 12th, 2014 08:48 amSad about Robin Williams' death. Depression is a bastard, no lie. Well yes, actually, depression lies. And is a bastard.
I'm at the kill me now stage of a summer cold. Neighbor plays trombone with the Basie band, who had an NYC gig last week. Neighbor caught a cold on the subway and brought it to share over beers on our porch a few days ago. Thanks, fella. It's settled in my chest now, as colds always do, while also maintaining pretty steady sinus pressure. The hacking keeps me awake and grizzly from lack of sleep, plus throat isn't happy at all, at all.
With the windows open neighbor, his wife, and I all sound like an ungodly cough chorus. They should put it to music, or something.
Gahhhhh. Whiiiine. Okay, moar tea, and napping sitting up.
I hope all of you are well and engaged in happy, productive things. No, really, go on without me. I'll catch up.
