The one weekend in which I have the time and the intentions to do lots of foolin round work on the web, my internet service goes down. For two days I have been cleaning, organizing, working out and reading, you know, productive stuff. All the while staring at my computers, sitting side by side, waiting in anticipation for a little bit of ethernet magic to make them come to life. I have one more full day of this, well one more full day off from reality, one more full day to stare at blank screens and get stuff done, one more full day to feel the aching in my bones and brain, aching for just a little bit of e-mail or at least one blog for me to read. Yes, I am on-line right now, but it is only temporary and not even on my own computer (though a very nifty, new lil' iMac). We had to get a dial-up number to check our e-mail so that our heads would not explode, there is no phone jack where my puters lay, only sad, empty patch fives. For now, I wish for and dream of blogging, wasting time and writing e-mail (for all of you who I don't write as often as I should, I thought about writing you every minute, but could not! woe is me…). Speaking of dreams, I had crazy ones last night! Mainly about travelling. I went to Japan, and there was a huge illuminated lantern and boat show, after the sun sets all of these boats covered in wonderful hand-made lanterns float out onto the sea and fill the sky with beautiful light. I decided to be a part of this so a cute boy and I swam out into the ocean to wait for these floating lights. But the waves were far too strong and we could not stay afloat, we began to fear the crowds of boats and concluded that it would be in our best interests to get back on shore, for we may not live through the event, treading wild and crazy sea water all night amidst a thousand flickering boats. We swam back to shore safely and enjoyed the festival of lights from a small sushi stand; the last thing I remember saying was, "Isn't it great to be in Japan?" Rather than wasting time I suppose I shall return to land of responsibility and try to get a few things done. I could draw, listen to music and write; I could watch the news; I could finish my book and start another, etc. etc. Ok, nuff talk - must do.
