Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

[Lisa!]

Hope you're feeling better now...


PS: Sometimes I feel mad and sad at the same time!

No good, horrible, rotten day. Something has to give.

Just in case it's an extended rotten day.

I was running around a trail by the lake today when a man playing the accordion rode by on a bicycle. Normally, I do not care for the accordion but today it brought me a laughter I had forgotten.

Yeah that would probably make me laugh, too! How was he steering the bicycle?

:!) Fantastic, Don! I've actually had that one before -- it's very good.

Today was better. Yesterday was a turning point for sure.

It's 3:23am here in the UK and I cannot sleep. I'm looking out of my window and I think for the first time in my life I have actually acknowledged that one day, I won't exist anymore.

It doesn't make me sad, but it just hit me that one day I'll be gone and time will still pass, people will still wake up late for work, people will cook their dinner and watch their favorite tv show.

What a surreal thing to think about... Sorry I hope I didn't depress any of you :P

 

[drizzle]

Not at all. The world is still full of...

He was steering the bicycle with a stupidly big goofy grin on his face.

In case no one has noticed, finals are right around the corner!

Pull. Pull really, really hard.

Spring must have sprung. Heard the first cuckoo of the year today.

Yes it has. This is what I've been hearing lately.

I have a woodpecker. It's neat, it always makes 5 rapid pecks, stops, 5 more, stops... Always 5.

The whip-poor-will is nice.

This is what I've been hearing lately.

We don't have those in the UK, but these pests sound just as annoying:

I get to listen to a singing competition between woodpigeons and collared doves most mornings at about 5am this time of the year:

Where I work, I hear cuckoos year-round.

Our "Cultural Society" meets every morning on neighbor Harry's front porch.

First hummingbird showed up about three weeks ago, now there's four of them. Last year we had over twenty and expect them again this year. It's entertaining to watch them compete for dominance at the feeders.

We hear the giant woodpeckers but they are sort of reclusive. Have only seen two so far. Last year one of them had a white beak but we think he was just an adolescent pileated because the white on his wings was in wrong place for that rare ivory bill variety(per Petersen's Guide).

You work where I do?

I went on a bit of a tear this last Tuesday.
Someone wouldn’t shut up.

“You are going to miss us”.
I will miss you like I miss having hemorrhoids.
“You will cry”.
They will be tears of joy.
“You will miss our wonderful conversations”.
Yes, I’ll have to go visit the monkeys at the zoo to get the same level of conversation.
“You owe me, for all the smiles I’ve brought to your face”.
I owe you a slap in the face. Those were grimaces.
“You will not know what to do without us”.
I think I will dance.
“You will die without us”.
Better to die happy in Heaven, then languish eternally in hell……

And people wonder why I’m retiring early.

ps. If you want to know what I really want to say to her, see Snoop Dogg’s 15 second oratory regarding the Clippers owner. Different words, same number of “**** you”s.

Green woodpeckers over here make more noise "singing" than drumming - they are LOUD.

I got my first job since getting a B.A. in mathematics. My maintenance person knocked on my door and said "Wanna make a few bucks?" She took me over to some random moving van that needed an extra hand. I made $50 for about an hour's work. If I do this for the summer, I will be rich and buff before grad school!

$50 an hour?! I'd forget about grad school! Math is a great hobby !

Why do I hallucinate smells when I'm sleep deprived?

Weird. Sleep deprivation causes odd things, that's for sure. But you might want to run this by your physician, HC.

And for goodness sake get some sleep.

What? Even Samuel Johnson is confused by your writing.

He asks for translation please.

Actually it should be "W moim ogródecku" - which translates to "In my garden" (and technically is incorrect in Polish, correct in dialects).

Rokiczanka is just name of the band.

I really find this interesting. Thank you very much for sharing. It's a capitalist country, such a reaction was to be expected. That was capitalism for her.

(I really need that word softener, I'm probably sounding rude here. I'm trying really hard to be kind and real, but I can't deliver a tone of voice here).

A band? It's a song then? Nice.
