Evening PE, welcome again, don't be a stranger.

I've been busy as heck lately. Promotion at werk, along with the largest raise I've ever gotten.

I'm betting that GI trainin' hepped a bit.

It's Tuesday, it doesn't warrant large red letters.

It's rainy here for the third day in a row. My sister's going to have a distorted view of Colorado.

On the bright side, it's not even supposed to hit 70 today...

Hey, at least this means that when it DOES stop with the dripping, it'll be cool enough for hiking. I hope it happens soon.

Heh... I think it's the best movie I've seen all year, although it took me forever to get used to the English.

Am rereading the book now, Diana Wynn Jones is a must-read (most of her stuff anyway). Had forgotten how good it is... many of the little details in the movie were exactly right, though there were some really neat innovations (loved how Sophie looked older or younger based on her mood) and the whole war thing.

And busy is an excuse... a lousy one, but an excuse... bored means you should start weird vanities.

*Yawn* Man.. thought I got enough sleep last night. I guess that part of the dream where I was sleeping in a ditch should have warned me that I was not getting decent sleep.

Weird vanities eh? I almost never look at those things...

Yeah liked that part with the age shifting. It was like a crutch. Her self esteem issues made her rather accepting of the curse and she used it as a crutch mentally. It was like when she was excited she 'forgot' to embrace the curse and her inner exuberance over rode it. I saw it as paralleling her gaining acceptance of who she was. Not so much the curse fading away as her out growing her willingness to view herself that way.

Last night I dreamed I got attacked by some weird cobra / rattlesnake snake. Hugh. I woke up just as it finally bit me...spent MOST of the dream standing still trying not to breathe and hoping it would go away.

Maybe we'd better NOT go hiking today...

Hm...do you think if I dress in tinfoil, I might be able to land a nice robot job?
