‘kay, so I haven’t been able to post for a few days. The little computer glitch turned out to be a “device failure”. I’ve got the boys looking it over, installing a new hard drive (FREE) and checking the whole she-bang. (Oh snap! Now I’ve got that stupid William Hung version slamming around my brain again!)
And since I’m not really writing in a diary right now, I’m sort of at a loss. I had to write an article in long hand and I felt like I couldn’t keep up with my thoughts. If you only knew how long it took me to train myself to write on computer! I always thought I needed that tactile pen to paper connection to get the real me to page, but I knew I had to make the switch. Seriously, it took 3-5 years before the computer was my go-to choice.
I’m having a terrible allergy attack. I haven’t had one this bad since leaving the east coast. I’m blaming global warming and the ozone layer. And the clubbing of baby seals.
Speaking of which, I saw the new Arthur Miller play this weekend - Resurrection Blues. Very stunning. Now that’s a writer! He’s just so clever with words - and such a storyteller. I wonder if I’ve read everything he’s written? I’ll have to check that to make sure. Anyway, I’m also very happy that I got to shake hands with John de Lancie, one of the leads - I think he’s brilliant. He takes the most quirky, unbelievable characters (did you see him on Days of Our Lives?) and makes them human - gives them breath and soul. An amazing ability, that. If you don’t know who de Lancie is, he played Q on Star Trek. I think I’m going to put him on my list.
I’m told that everyone has a “list” of those they get a wild card to do whatever - no holds barred - with.
Who’s on my list:
1. Lenny Kravitz
2. Scott Bakula
3. Jimmy Smits
4. Thomas Mikal Ford
5. John de Lancie
You get one extra freaky-deaky one, I decided. And you don’t have to qualify it. Michael Dorn as Worf is mine. Not the actor (although he’s not bad) but the character…in full regalia…. do with that information what you will.
Hmm. Probably not the right moment to say I was asked on Saturday to lead a Bible study group for one year. Ha! I guess I’m still not over the whole “everyone is so much more holier than me” thing yet. But really, if they knew what was going on in my head half the time, would they still have asked me? And you have to be sort of nominated. They don’t just pick any old person. I’m going to do it, simply because I feel that God is leading me in this direction. Don’t know why, but still. I just hope He knows what He’s doing?
