You were warned!

After reading the various political blogs I read every day, I settled down on the sofa with a book. I got it at the library and it is only a week rental so the pressure is on. Actually, I'll finish it by Monday. About 5 months ago I bought a turn-table. I have mountains of vinyl, especially classics and show stuff and now I can actually listen to some of it. Clicks, scratches, surface noise. CD's have taken a lot of the pleasure out of recorded music.

When Rush Limbaugh started I turned off Maria Callas and listened for an hour or so. He was distracting me from my reading so I gave up on the book AND Rush and nuked a Lean Quisine and watched Project Runway.

I am working on some paintings and put the vinyl back on and spent a few hours painting and admiring. When I smoked, the admiring would be combined with a cigarette and I miss that part.

When my painting knees finally gave out, I plopped in front of the computer and surfed and IM'd for an hour or so. Watched the news and Judge Judy.

Tonight I went to see a recital of the brother of a friend who plays the cello. As far as I was concerned he's another Yo Yo Ma, except that he isn't Chinese and I'm no expert. Seriously, it was wonderful. When I got home I watched my DVR of the debate and have only two things to say:

1. I wish McCain wouldn't spend so much time bashing Bush and the Republicans...

2. Obama's ears are much to large for him to ever be President.

After reaching that irrational conclusion I realized I hadn't taken my complete dosage of meds, which I did, and now, as I feel the creeping tingles of drug-induced derangement, it is time to get in bed.

It was a pretty good day.....Love, R
