February Again

Very short update:

It's late, and I'm basically alone in the house. My dog is here, and my housemates are downstairs (I can smell the end of their dinner, wafting up the stairs). Carly and the Wolf are away, visiting family and attending the funeral for Carly's uncle, who died somewhat suddenly--of natural causes--last week.

It's 12:44 AM on a Wednesday and I'm basically alone in the house. It's a busy, strange, awful week. I have an interview for a job I really want this week, but I think I'm a middling candidate. I have a dentist's appointment. I am working some overtime so I can take some time off later. I am considering seeing a movie by myself for the first time in a long, long time. I think it was "Lost Souls" with Winona Ryder, Kent, Ohio, ca. 2000. Strange that I should remember that so clearly.

I also have my first old man injury--a torn rotator cuff. The likely cause is 25 years of repetitive motions, using a mouse/computer, printing t-shirts, etc., exacerbated by throwing around my 35+ pound toddler. Fun, yes, but ultimately debilitating.

"That's it," said the comedian, "it doesn't get better. This is my shitty body. I'm stuck with it."

While I was SO OVER ennui by the time I was 17, I figure I will move on. And now, the prettiest piece of music I've found lately:
