3 a.m.

things between me and Brian feel strained again, despite a productive conversation and some collaborative housecleaning earlier in the week. I lost track of time while I was reading a book outside, and later in the evening I fell asleep.

I have to do better to keep lines of communication and friendship open and well.

First Tattoo

Got my first tattoo this week. A row of four aperture rings down my back.

So damned pretty, and healing very well.

Birthday Weekend

Just got back from a long weekend with Sarah driving on the coast of California down Highway 1. Interesting trip all the way around. Had a massage at Esalen, stayed in a yurt, had good food, good conversations, some serious stuff that we were overdue for talking about and we decided to stay together, which is good.

Staying in a yurt is an interesting experience. You wake up and the temperatures changed overnight, which you were expecting, but still sort of like camping as well.

I'm not entirely sure where we stand but I'm hopeful about the prospects.
Also, I got a surprise party. It was really cool.

I'm still not quite good enough with this program to use it for editing work. I'm getting closer.

yet another post created with voice recognition software

well, I think software is beginning to work better for me as the day goes on. I think it's going to be really excellent as a tool as the time goes by.

In other news, life is going overall fairly well. My health is a little patchy, but I'm doing the best I can and I've been seeing doctors as needed. I did a training session with Kennedy's inaugural address, which I think probably improve my overall recognition, and I had a very good Thai dinner, which was part came out made spicy with pork and to a large Thai iced tea. Overall, not a terrible day, although I'm not looking forward and go to work in the morning.

I really really really want to get a new Nikon D200. But for the moment, I just have to pay the rent.

first day with voice recognition software

so my girlfriend just gave me a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This post is entirely written by voice.

She's got some kind of surprise weekend plan; all I know is that I'm supposed to pack for a weekend away and that we will be back sometime Monday morning.

Here's a couple of tongue twisters to test this thing out.

He thrusts his fists against the post still insists he sees the ghosts.

Mrs. Dalloway decided she would buy the flowers herself.

B Movies and Hi-larious Quotations

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra:
Dr. Paul Armstrong: Looks like a perfect day for hunting space rocks, wouldn't you say Betty?
Betty Armstrong: Oh Paul, I'm frightened.
Dr. Paul Armstrong: Wh-what is it darling? What's the matter? Tell me?
Betty Armstrong: I don't know. Nothing I can put my finger on. Not something I can see or touch or feel. But something I can't quite see or touch or feel or put my finger on.
Dr. Paul Armstrong: Oh well. Shall we find that meteor?

How have you modified your body?

I haven't especially. Just an ear piercing in the left ear. I hardly ever wear anything in it.

I'd like a tattoo but I'm still in the "thinking it over and considering designs" phase.
