A Twist of Things to Come

Today:

-My eldest entered puberty.

-I lost another pound. It must have been water weight, because I'm down 3.5 pounds since Monday. O_O

-I saw the second act of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and I officially love it. Everyone is linking to it, but if you haven't checked it out yet, please do so quickly. It's only going to up for free for a short time (though I believe it will be well worth the price on itunes or whatever). I find myself singing the tunes, and rooting for the poor underdog villain. Neil Patrick Harris is too cute for words, and Nathan Fillion plays a wonderful hero/jerk.

I love it so much I wish I could marry it and have its babies. Heh.

-I hope to have the next bit of HMOWK off to the betas today. I'm once again feeling the fun.

-Many on my friends list are having nightmares or strange dreams and posting about them. My Beloved even cried out in his sleep one night this week. Me, I woke up in the wee hours feeling vaguely disturbed but I have no idea what I had dreamed. I wonder if there's something in the ether that I am somehow missing out on entirely. *g*

-I've decided that I need to start meditating every day again, but the sit-still type of meditation does not work for me. I need to move or walk or something in order to empty my mind. I discovered this during my daily walks around the lake while we were camping. Perhaps I'll revisit the Tai Chi. When I last attended class they were teaching two person techniques, and the man I practiced with said I was "more forceful than most women" in the movements. (grrr) He added quickly that that was good because it meant we were more equally matched in 'energy' than he expected. *eyeroll* I think that made me uncomfortable because I was not yet ready to deal with my innate alpha-ness. I think I am now. *whip-cracking noise*

-My new comp screen is up and running, and only has one dead pixel. Yay!

Edited To Add: I've also been getting kind of gung-ho about drawing again, so maybe I'll have something to share soonish.

UGh. I was setting it down and it slipped, and hit just right on the place where the power cord plugs in. The screen is frelled, and I suspect other operations are messed up as well. It slipped from my fingers a very short distance, but it hit just right to ruin the thing. I believe repairs will be covered under warranty, or the other buyer protection. It's just a pain to be without it when today was day to write. I will likely be without it all of next week, and probably more after that.

There are other comps in my house but none of them have my writing on them, or the privacy to write, so I guess it's pen and ink for me, and probably another delay in my posting schedule.

I'm crushed, and I feel pretty stupid as well.

On the brighter side, we watched National Treasure 2 last night, and it gave rise to another Boy Quote:

Big Boy (fascinated by the idea of a Presidential book of secrets): That almost makes me want to be the president when I grow up.

Wee Boy (misapprehending both Big Boy's intent and the main character's name: Yeah. You could grow up and be kidnapped by Bill Gates.
