um… I may have a stalker
THIS came today. I’m not sure if I should report it.

you know how sometimes…
… you get in that quiet time? Those private ones. I got into that tonight. For a bit I sat and smiled… just at the little things. I smiled at the big things too. A quiet smile. You set the memory bank in your brain on rewind. Then you play… with your finger over the pause button. You breeze through a snippet… hit fast forward on the parts you choose to miss… pause on occasion. …
there is a direct link to sunshine…
… and my mood… especially if the sky has been overcast for more than 3 days. I noticed it when I experienced my first winter here… a particularly dreary one when we were socked in with fog and overcast skies for almost 2 months straight. The depression actually caused me to become physically ill. Yeah, I’m one of those. I seriously doubt the more northern climates would find me at optimum… at least for those …
now on to the business of life
The good news is the part has been recast (see “advice to the populous” section 2 posts down)… so, now the video project can move forward. Yesterday, in many ways it felt like I was in suspended animation… like I was floating in a giant tank of orange jello. My immediate instinct was to fight it simply because I have several projects pending… but I resisted and gave in instead. I have learned there are …
it’s the first sip out of the cup…
… (OK, mug… as in beer mug… a big honking Carlsberg mug at that) of coffee I’ve had in over a week. The taste of roasted beans just attacked my taste buds with a sublime intensity. Sometimes self imposed abstinence reawakens the pleasure of the experience. Almost, (but not quite) to the point of experiencing it for the first time. Remember the turn you made from virgin to experienced? Not necessarily exclusively in the sexual …
Which Lecram is this anyway?
As I was out and about last night I ran into several people. (Always a pleasant thing.) Anyway it got me thinking (very dangerous when that happens… keep the flammables away) that each one that I met has known me in a different context because (as it were) I wear many hats. In medieval times people were assigned titles such as ,,, Richard the Lionhearted, etc… that sort of defined their place in history. So …
It occured to me today…
… that I really should rearrange my days. (Brilliant, Lecram!) Well, in order to maximize getting things done. Trouble is I’ve been waking up the last 3 or 4 nights at 3 AM. Not sure what this is all about. Then I slip back into slumber at 4:30 or 5 to awake at 7:30 or 8. It sort of just throws off the schedule and pace of my day that I had. Still, I’m not …
i needed that
bracing for the triple digits…
… at least in Fahrenheit terms. Yep, the next week or so the temps are going to be scorching. They expect 102 today… 107 tomorrow and perhaps even 109 on Friday. Hmmm… I’m thinking a big bowl of gazpacho and a couple of watermelons in the fridge may just be the thing to do. This also means that the daily routines… cleaning, cooking, etc… MUST absolutely occur before 10 or 11 in the AM. If …
