There are so many phrases that ‘ring true’ as it were, that I’ve never heard before… I think I could go out and hear one from every new person I met, every day, and never be exhausted…

Today, simple, but I’ve never put it together like that… ‘binary gender system’.

… Huh. Yeah.

Saw The Tempest last month. I would characterize it as lacklustre. Some strength, but overall nothing to captivate.

Not so with tonight’s Orpheus Descending. Wow. So, I’m somewhat ambivalent when it’s difficult to get wrapped up in it, but overall it was well-done, and the actress… lord, the actress. Lady Torrance, was perfect. I can’t really find fault with it, but I’m no judge. However, isn’t it up to the masses to determine the fitness? Unless it’s a small piece, meant for a specific niche audience, isn’t the fact that one character can pull so much out of it, indicative of their overall ability?

Yes, I couldn’t do drama; I would break onstage; and wouldn’t *that* be entertaining.

Let’s talk of dreams.

Tonight, after waking up and reclining into sleep again, this… masterful mess.

Let’s see… I was at Snoop Dogg’s house. Which was old, wooden, and in the country somewhere.

Daughter was there and playing with.. .something. Had to hide it under the bed downstairs, which was… odd. Downstairs was old, like that you’d find in a musty ’70s sort of house. Wooden rickey stairs, which you then made a 180 turn after and continued through the rest of the basement… bed right there. Large open room after that. Some other people around. Snoop fell asleep down there, stuff happened, then we went for a drive. Ended up filling up with ‘petrol’ at some country garage, which happened to be like ethanol, from what I could tell. Took a tank out of the back of the car, guy hooked a hose from it into the hose from a special tank, and it filled. Put it back in the car.

Then cops came looking for me. Well, I knew it was me, though they didn’t say. They were looking for a blue car, and for some reason, I knew that I had one. Then, “Look!” followed by pointing, and there it was, in the field out back – a baby blue VW Jetta.

And I woke up.

Maybe this is why it seems I try to forget them.

(I hope Snoop’s okay)

Nobody will ever be able to scroll through the list of entries and find that, ‘one I was talking about’ easily, EVER.

Anyhow.

I’ve been working a lot more than usual, lately. Something like 12-15 hours a day, at points. It’s meant I’ve accumulated a little more than I know what to comfortably do with. Why? It’s easy to spend a couple of $$, you reckon?

Well, maybe. If you splurge. If you’re used to it, or the decision itself, I guess. I never have. Going to the store is a calculated endeavour, still. Easier, now, just from habit, but that just underscores the issue in other ways. There are many larger things I could get (not all with this – don’t be mistaken, it’s not enough to pay of a single major debt of mine, even), but that would require more effort. Calculation, decision, further decision, and then… for what?

I am decidedly ambivalent about material stuff, except in that I’ve decided to take an interest in my vehicle. Reasoning that I am better with mechanical contrivances than my dainty-shell fingers would suggest, I’m gettin’ drrrty. Or is that ridin’ drrrty? Oh, those rappers, so, shall we say, ennui a l’esprit! In any case, that’s the plan, essentially.

But, the things I’m thinking of…

Put it towards one debt, so that it’ll be paid off *quickly*.
Accumulate more, use it towards a down payment on an actual house.
Spend it all on car parts.
Vacation.
The stepson likely needs tutoring, so I’m trying to mentally mark part of it for that.
Furniture – it would be nice to have some that matches (and complements me, more) than the current set of metal-and-woodgrain.

I think I’ll do a little of all of it. $500 of what I had was already spent out of the last period for coilovers (adjustable suspension), but there’s so much more to get my car up to the standards my obsessiveness calls for.

I wonder why it is that my sample blog gets more spam attempts than this? I should perhaps see about a catchpa system there; I thought I’d read about some plugin for wordpress there.

Yes, http://wordpress.namor.ca, just to give it more attention.
