This Again.

Current clothes: Tan jeans. A black t-shirt from Mt. St. Helens featuring a view of the mountain and a picture of a bear silhouetted against the moon. White socks. No shoes right now.

Current mood: Mildly exasperated with life. I woke up today after about five hours in bed and simply could not get back to sleep... and today has pretty much continued along the same lines from there.

Current music: Currently in the stereo are Enya's The Celts and The Crossing by Big Country. Currently in the portable CD player is the Beatles' Revolver.

Current hair: Nice and short. I got it cut again a couple of weeks ago.

Current annoyance: Entropy. Everything in my life seems to be falling apart at the moment. In a physical sense, that is, not in any kind of metaphorical way. Yesterday I had two shelves of books suddenly collapse because the pegs holding the shelves up gave way. Today I was hanging laundry on the clothesline and the line snapped (dumping my nice clean laundry all over the ground). My roof is leaking again. The place where I scraped the paint on my car and never got it fixed (because I'm an idiot) is starting to show signs of rust. And one of my Babylon 5 discs is mysteriously scratched up and wouldn't play properly. Grrr.

Current thing: Babylon 5! Fortunately, I was able to borrow another copy of the bad disc from a friend. I think I've got about three more episodes to go before I'm finished with the first season.

Current desktop picture: This colorful image of the Crab nebula.

Current song stuck in head: I've had "The Hook" by Blues Traveler in my head for the last two days. It'd finally gone away a couple of hours ago, so, of course, what song did they immediately decide to play on the radio? (I'm tellin' ya, it's showing every sign of being "one of those days.")

Current book: I'm in-between books at the moment, and am instead reading the current issue of Skeptic magazine. Most recently finished book was The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket, the second of the "Series of Unfortunate Events" books for kids. I'm really wishing I had a time machine so I could send a copy of this series back to kid-me. I'm getting a kick out of them, but I bet she'd like them even more. Next up, assuming I'm awake enough to start on it tonight, is William Gibson's Pattern Recognition.

Current video in player: A tape of third-season Farscape episodes I was copying for my sister.

Current refreshment: Tea. Yummy darjeeling tea from Stash.

Current worry: This damn leaky roof. I keep thinking that this time I might have succeeded in patching it up properly, and eventually a big rainstorm always comes along and proves me wrong. At this point, I'm starting to get worried that the whole ceiling is going to disintegrate and come crashing down on me in pieces.

Current thought: Screw this living in physical reality crap. Stick my brain in a vat and hook me into the internet, and I'll be a much happier person. I am not joking.
