ready, set, go...

Highlights of my day: A flat white with hazelnut & whipped cream (I'm being serious, it's worth mentioning); a trip to REI with Ben to get pants & ski poles (it's always fun to spend money that you don't have), & an afternoon playing Minecraft with Em. I know that all sounds pretty unexciting, but it was so awesome to spend the day doing nothing noteworthy; and playing Minecraft when you're doing nothing makes you feel so productive. The coffee really was amazing and I hope to repeat the whole process tomorrow. First...church, then...out for coffee, then...frag swap in place of REI, and then...back to me casa to squander more time building with blocks, digging, chopping, cooking, and feeding my glitchy dog, Lazarus, some rotten zombie flesh. I know that sounds really disgusting. I can't help it. The fact is, that's what he eats. So, anyway, I just want to finish by saying that I've wanted to blog pretty much every day, for the past few days, so that's a good sign. Now that I'm here, I just can't remember what I wanted to talk about. So, I'll be off then, but I really feel this may be the start of something. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the bluebird out my window. There were five, actually, but I got a picture of one. He was so cute, and beautiful too. I love bluebirds and they love me. I know, because they're always poking around outside my windows. K. That's quite enough for today. You have to ease into these things, you know. Bye for now.

Ps. for clarification... A frag swap is an event where aquarium people mostly swap fragments of coral for cash. It is not strictly a barter system.
