I found that to be extremely relaxing. Just made me all the more determined to (sometime in my life time) learn to scuba dive and dive amongst the marine wildlife. Or maybe it’s just something that has to do with me being a Pisces… I don’t know. LOL. I could watch this for hours, though.
So, my beloved rain did come. When I heard the first droplets hit the lawn, my heart was so elated it almost burst from my chest. It rained for the entire night, and on and off for the next day… and it’s been pleasantly cool ever since. It was rather nice to go outside after the rain was over and just… smell the air and walk on the wet lawn. The new air conditioning unit was installed (and my goodness, it is so lovely!), and the back flow of the air has made everything on the front veranda pleasantly cool as well. I spent some time on the front veranda with Tamara earlier (as my David and my little brother decided to have some absinthe shots and I didn’t want to partake) and the combination of the air conditioner and the rain air was absolutely blissful. Hopefully it stays nice like this into next week.
I think it’s fair to say that Kyle and I are no longer on speaking terms. Not that I care much, considering the deceitful, vicious bastard that he is. It just makes me a bit sad, because if he and Vanessa decide to take their relationship to the next level (ie marriage or children), it would be awkward. Things between her and I are already strained because of problems with him. I know for a fact that he’s cheating and she refuses to believe it. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better if I’d just kept my mouth shut, but I can’t change that now. He’s moving in with her down in Surrey, and thought I hate to wish for something ill, I hope that this decision is their undoing. Considering that in the past, it always has been. She deserves better. Much, much better. Ah well. Kaylie and I are moving him down there before the end of the month, so that should be interesting, to say the least.
Alright, off to bed for me. Hopefully tomorrow will be quiet here, so I can actually get some computer stuff done. I’m thinking about renewing this domain name and switching host companies to a green energy hosting provider. But, we’ll see. :) I hope everyone in internet land is well.
The heat drags on, and on, and on… unfortunately. There were some cloudy breaks today, which was nice. Not enough to make much a difference with the hideous temperature, but it made me hopeful that it will rain soon. I spent the evening watching the cloudy sunset on the front porch, and it just… gave me this overwhelming calm. One more month of heat, and then we’ll be back into the temperature zone I can actually tolerate. I can’t wait.
I’ve noticed that I spend a lot of my time these days just reading and reading. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I seem to have lost motivation to do much else. And of course, my house is suffering because of it. Lucifer is still in his little phase of his refusing to use the litter box, and though I have been successful thus far of cleaning up his leavings, I need to work harder on trying to correct this nasty little habit he has. My kitchen has also gone down the tubes. Once the dishes are dried and put away, I need to mop like crazy and reorganize my cupboard. I’m planning to make a huge grocery run in a week, so hopefully I can will myself to have the kitchen ready for bringing those groceries home. Need. To. Get. Motivated.
I watched this movie called They Wait tonight with Tamara. I can’t say that I was too impressed with it. It’s was predictable, short, and not really that scary. I’ve noticed that with a lot of movies these days, specifically those in the horror genre. I find that more often than not, I am wishing for that two or some odd hours of my life back. Maybe I just can’t be scared by movies anymore? I don’t know. I’ve noticed all of the adverts and trailers for Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, and I’m hoping that that will make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. If I go to the theater and see it, and I don’t jump out of my seat at least once, it will be a waste of a trip. If anyone knows of a good, scary movie, please recommend. I need it, or I’m just going to start giving up on the horror genre altogether.
Alright… game plan for today: clean bathroom and hallway, start cleaning out closet and reorganizing bedroom, set up new litter box and put new cat food into containers, re-do resume and send it to e-mail. If there’s any time left over after that… work on this site. W00t, w00t. I love having a to-do list.
