I don’t know if I’ve ever needed along weekend more badly in my entire life. I didn’t really want a three day weekend financially, because I don’t get paid for holidays, but I suppose it’s a good thing to get some rest and take a load off. I can’t sleep in today though because I have Syd and he’s up and I am sick of being a Dad who sleeps and leaves and never plays with his kid.
My head hurts and I have a really depressing song in my head. Carrying Cathy by Ben Folds. It’s the song of my life. That’s all I’ll say. Ben Folds routinely writes about my life and it never ceases to amaze me. Songs like Mess and Carrying Cathy and Don’t Change Your Plans… they totally hit home with me. That’s what good music ought to do. He’s definitely my favorite artist currently at work.
So, Tumblur development has finally started in earnest. I am building things and being productive. I have decided that this site WILL exist and it will happen SOON. So, I am going to work and work and work and work and work until it comes to be.
I know this isn’t much of a profound thought, but I LOVE the keyboard on this old Mac. It’s my beloved Powerbook 170 named Tim. I write all my journal entries on Tim. It’s just so amazing what a fabulous keyboard he has on him. One of the most typable keyboards ever. Perfect touch, perfect response. I don’t know when I have ever liked a keyboard this much and (oddly enough) it’s a LAPTOP. Laptops NEVER have good keyboards. That’s like, a law or something. A laptop with a great keyboard is supposed to be impossible, yet here it is. Amazing.
I do have one minor problem with my computing situation right now though. I want to work on Tumblur, but I also want to hang out in the bedroom and snuggle. In the absence of wireless networking, I have to run a long ethernet cable from the living room to the bedroom. That works OK, except the cable isn’t quite long enough. That kinda stinks.
Don’t care about my computer things? Don’t think this makes interesting journal reading? Too bad, so sad. It’s my journal and I’ll write whatever I want to, so there. 
So, I have no plans for the three day weekend except to regroup and chill out. Maybe get my resume together for my next consulting/work gig. IN fact, I really need to do that. That is important. OK, so that’s my only plan for the weekend. Woo-hoo!
The excitement never stops. Maybe I think I will go record some music right now. Yeah, that sounds like a good time…
