Now Seeing: Too much condensation on my window. Beyond that are bare trees and a pale sky in shades of evening pink and blue. Mostly condensation, though.

Now Feeling: Tired. Headachy.

Now Tasting: Garlic from my lunch, even though I've brushed my teeth since then. Good thing there's nobody around to be offended by my breath.

Now Smelling: Spices from my green tea chai, which I really should drink. It might help relieve the headache.

Now Tasting: Spiced tea... and garlic.

Now Hearing: Computer fan and some unidentified mechanical noise off in the distance.

Last Meal Eaten: Chef Boy-ar-dee beef ravioli, kale, and some very garlicky garlic toast.

Last Book Finished: Jon Ronson, The Men Who Stare at Goats. I think this was a re-read, but I may only have read excerpts and picked up the other information from elsewhere.

Last DVD Watched: THX 1138, the George Lucas Director's Cut. Um. It certainly is a very 1970s dystopian sort of thing. And now I know where Trent Reznor got the sample he used in "Mr. Self Destruct," so I suppose that's something.

Now Wearing: Glasses that still need to be replaced; a green-blue sweater; my black flannel-lined jeans; light brown sports socks; a pair of old silver, white, and blue running shoes because I was going to go walking today; and boring underwear.

Miles Walked: Well, I started out walking to the grocery store to pick up a few things, but I didn't get very far before I realized that I really didn't wanna be outside if I had any choice in the matter. Since I did have a choice in the matter, I ended up walking some sad fraction of a mile.

Hours Slept Last Night: Whatever it was, it wasn't enough. It sounded like some smoke detector downstairs was trying to let us know that it needed a new battery, though I probably could have slept through the sad beeping if it weren't for the fact that I kept hearing other noises in the house, something that may have been animals fighting in the yard next door, and little noises that were pretty obviously coming from my half-asleep mind. Also I may have had a motor seizure, though it's possible I was dreaming.

Today's Accomplishments: I've taken out the trash and done two loads of laundry.

Now Seeing: Out beyond the condensation, a sky that's much darker than it was when I began typing this entry.
