Alive I am.
Seems a lot has happened. Then again, a lot hasn’t. So don’t really expect any detailed updates until I am settled. You can expect adorable Samantha pictures, though.

I redid my desktop theme to match a very sexy wallpaper of Sharon from Within Temptation.

I meant to blog about this because it’s both humorous and almost tragic but just didn’t get around to it. The autumn weather has been extremely cool, windy and rainy these last few days so Friday I decided to take out my air conditioner – not because I wasn’t using it but because I was annoyed by the sound the wind made blowing in around it.

However, my windows are extremely heavy and I loosened my grip on the unit whilst opening the window which resulted in, of course, gravity being stronger than my hold on the air conditioner and pulling it out of the (fourth floor) window.

I stood there and watched, certain I’d just lost a $150 appliance but grasped at it desperately anyway and I caught it! I was quite surprised at this. I managed to pull it up by the side piece which is usually attached to the window (the accordion looking piece), and was sure that piece would break and the whole thing would fall, but it didn’t.

Amidst all this I did manage to get in the thought “I hope none of the neighbours across the alley can see this.” And I certainly hope no one did. -laughs* So, I pulled it up but air conditioners don’t really have a lot of hand holds so I had to wedge my fingers into the metal casing and the foil-y type part in back to pull it up.

I succeeded but, needless to say, my after inspection revealed some nasty little cuts and after dealing with those I discovered even more scrapes on my hands and arms. Add to that, my rib area right below my breast is very sore and swollen, though not bruised I think.

And the moral of the story is: I don’t have one.

Toodles!

They Came Up the Mississippi Along with Jazz

Spanish girl: Why are there so many Mexicans in Minnesota? Isn’t that really far north?
Spanish boy: I don’t know…
Spanish girl: I mean, how’d they swim that far?

Today I will make the grand march down all 4 flights of stairs and enter into the world of the living – ie the world that is not my studio. It has been a long time since I’ve laid my eyes upon the blue of the lake or the sky or felt the crisp, cool air caressing my skin or filling my lungs.

Actually, I awoke yesterday and came to the horrifying realization that my husband is no longer here and, consequently, decided to die. I then realized that I am quite horrible at dying and despite the fact that I’ve felt completely tired and restful for most of the past 3 weeks, I’d had a wonderful, undisturbed sleep and even though I might want to just stay in bed and rot, I was wide awake.

Thus, I spent the day cooped up inside my apartment being a lazy bum and sitting on my lazy bum. While I did manage to accomplish a few things (EG catching up on my reading, playing MapleStory – only to find 5 minutes before the game was shutting down for upgrades that I had rushed to a certain place to finish my quest in vain because I was on the wrong character, watching TV and fiddling with WP to no end) most of those things involved me sitting on my aforementioned lazy bum. If you’ll browse the list of things I did not do, you’ll notice these things involve leaving my confines: take our recycling, return library books, check mail which may hold my new cellular telephone.

So today I will do those things and so much more – maybe. If nothing else, I will send this entry to blog with love.
