… Apparently the only thing I am capable of writing here as of late are bulleted lists.
… My sinuses are revolting again. At first I thought it was allergies. Bob’s allergies were kicking in, mine probably were too. But then there was the sore throat, the fever, and the feeling that I got hit by a truck. That lasted a few days but the sinuses have held out much longer. Neither allergy nor cold drugs OR the prescription Flonase have done a damn thing but the generic Walgreens 12-hour Afrin allows me a few precious hours of being able to breathe through my nose during the day. But it most certainly does not last 12 hours. I don’t know what the hell this is, but I’m so ready for this shit to GTFO of my sinus cavity.
… Bob got me a new phone. Because I am spoiled. And in the process we found out that plugging my existing SIM card into the new phone just…works. (It’s an unlocked phone, not specific to any carrier.) I still don’t have a data plan but if there’s a wifi connection available, I don’t really actually need one. And I now have a smart phone without the $100 a month phone bill. It’s going to take some getting used to the fact that I’m not going to get a solid week out of one battery charge. In four days I’ve had to charge it twice, not including the initial out-of-the-box charge. Granted I’ve been playing with it constantly. The novelty will wain slightly eventually, but still.
… The first time the new phone rang, it took me a good thirty seconds to figure out how to answer it. As it turns out, I don’t know how the hell to use a damn touch screen.
… One little trigger sparked five different scenarios to write involving the same three characters (from an existing project) that I’ve been working on for about three weeks. Most of it is completely ridiculous (but fun to write nonetheless) but one version is a very viable addition to the actual story. Because stories can never have too many sub-plots. Even if this one doesn’t have all that much for sub-plots as it currently exists. Kate and Michael shouldn’t get to have all the fun. Joel and Remy deserve love too.
… Saturday I woke up to this happening on my nightstand.
Apparently Droid is sooper excited about the new Android device in ye olde Bear Cave. He’s been living here for months without any Android devices to be found and he’s been a little bitter about that.
Gator just doesn’t even know what’s happening there in front of him and Eeyore is pretending he doesn’t know either one of them from his perch atop the alarm clock.
… Droid’s new friend needs a name. I haven’t been struck by any inspiration yet. Tragic.
… Shut up. You’re the weird one because you don’t name all of your inanimate objects.
