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.
