Currently...

The regular monthly update on boring stuff you never wanted to know about me.

Current clothes: Blue jeans, slightly rolled up at the bottoms. A blue and white tie-dye t-shirt. (No, I didn't do the tie-dying.) White tube socks. No shoes just at the moment.

Current mood: Moderately upbeat.

Current music: Let's see, in the stereo right now are the Shrek soundtrack, Pachelbel's Greatest Hit: Canon in D and Jimmy Buffett's Barometer Soup. Currently in the walkman is the Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense.

Current hair: Just got it cut. Nice and short.

Current annoyance: Having to work for a living.

Current thing: Oh, the usual stuff. A bit of reading, a bit of writing, a bit of gaming, a lot of web surfing...

Current desktop picture: This collage of images from the Buffy episode "Storyteller." Which I picked not so much because "Storyteller" is all that great of an episode (it's not), but because it was one of the few wallpapers I could find that featured a picture of Andrew, and I felt like looking at Andrew for a while.

Current song stuck in head: The theme song to Hong Kong Phooey. Ah, the inside of my head is such an interesting place...

Current book: The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution by C.P. Snow.

Current video in player: The Doctor Who tape with the Hartnell episodes on it that I mentioned earlier.

Current refreshment: Nothing at the moment. I just finished my usual three cups of morning coffee not all that long ago.

Current worry: I'm a bit worried about some of the details of this vacation I've got coming up, particularly about organizing my time in Vancouver (where I'm spending a few days both before and after the boat leaves). The friend I'm going to be staying with for most of the time I'm there keeps sending me e-mails with vague changes of plans: "Well, I've got movie passes for the night you're coming in, but I should be back by... Oh, wait, I have to babysit that day and I promised I'd take the kid to see The Hulk, but by the time you get into town we should be back... There's this concert the next day, do you want to go?... Hang on, I'm not sure what time it is... They changed my work schedule, so I won't be around most of Saturday..." Etc., etc. Meanwhile, my mother is scheduling tours and wants me to keep her company in the interval between when we get back and when her plane leaves, and my sister and other relatives are coming in a various times... I have the feeling the logistics of it all are going to be a bit difficult to work out, especially without hurting anybody's feelings by cutting short my time with them.

Current thought: This vacation should be a lot of fun, anyway.
