Today I'm gonna complain about how hard it is to get back to work after a week's vacation.

Wombat, looks like we passed you on the way back from the beach.  We were in Bethany for the week, with a couple of trips up to Rehoboth.  Love that Funland.

... spend quiet moments during my workday feeling pleased that my return (yesterday) to the lacrosse field didn't result in heatstroke, injury, or embarrassment.  I won a face-off, made some good defensive plays, and was in the right place at the right time a couple times on offense.  We won two of two games, 11-10 and 10-8.  I do, however, feel like a couple teenagers worked me over with 6-foot titanium sticks.  Adventure!

Indeed! Today I am complaining the same even though it was only a long weekend.

…enjoy the hell out of my new CDs. Brian Eno, Before and After Science; John Phillips, John the Wolfking of L.A.; and The Flying Burrito Brothers Anthology 1969-1972 (incorporating The Gilded Palace of Sin, Burrito Deluxe, and The Flying Burrito Brothers).

Yes yes yes, so good.

Does anyone else here ever smell things randomly, like from an olfactory memory bank that shoots off once in awhile?


Yes, I know.

Yeah all the time, typically a particular memory will bring something back and I can smell the thing I associate with that memory. Like the dusty cardboard box we kept the tinsel and decorations in for christmas.

The Flying Burrito Bros are amazing!  All GP stuff is.  Eno is good too.

Hopefully get to mess around with the Spore Creature Creator. I downloaded it yesterday but didn't get a chance to install it. My video card just bare meets the minimum requirements, so I'm not sure how it will work out.

I assume the release of this is why JL wasn't around yesterday.

Unfortunately, my absence was related to a teething infant, a parent-teacher conference, a mountain of laundry, and a desperate search for a birthday present for my niece.  I am, however, on the list to review Spore for PopMatters when it's released in September.

Your post made me smell that box, and then triggered the inevitable follow-up olfactory memory: Christmas cookies.

One random olfactory memory that pops up for me every now and again is the cat-pee soaked box of legos I had as a kid.  If it had just been the box, I'm sure it would have been replaced.  Unfortunately it was the entire 10 pounds or so of legos.  This association is particularly puzzling to me at some level when my kid and I are playing with her legos.  They don't stink - can they really be legos?

Bury my mother's aunt. What a depressing funeral. Not depressing like "man, what a loss" but depressing in that there was 5 people there and she was buried in a plastic coffin. The gravediggers all standing around smoking while some guy read a psalm.
"Well, thats one way to go" I said, and put my flowers on her coffin, the only flowers.
