semi-obligatory entry
I expect I ought to be making an entry. I am the one who was all convinced diary entries would be more frequent once I was laid off for winter, aren't I?
Er, anyway. This weekend is the Apple Fest in town. Parade and whatnot are of course on Saturday. I'm pretty sure I'll be hanging out with Talcott, going down toward the Ohio Ren thingy. (I suppose it's a faire and not a fest, but what do I know. Or really care at the moment, actually.)
Some years, that would be really a relief. (I've had years where I very strongly want to be ducking people.) And some years that would be really annoying. (Desire to spend time with best friend vs felt obligation to spend time with family and/or chance to run into people not seen in a few years.) This year it's just... So what. I can't say I'm relieved to not be going to the fest, exactly. There's no one in particular I'm avoiding. But I'm not upset to be missing it either. I can't eat most of the fest food I'd want. I can drop by briefly to see who's around some time early on Sunday. And it's another chance to spend time with my buddy.
It's still funny how much I miss him being "just" over in BG. As it is, whenever I go via BG to get on 75, I have to remind myself not to turn to head into town. It's like I still expect to be picking him up there before going to Dayton or where ever. Very weird, when you think about it.
On the other hand, I don't really have to think about how to get to his place in Cols anymore, so that's good. Much less reading of every single street sign and worrying I've missed my turn(s).
I'm being all obsessed with CSI lately. Not sure why. I mean, I've liked the show since I started watching it. But now I'm lurking within the online fandom. I went ahead and bought the first two seasons on DVD. (And finally buying the second season of Angel on DVD the same day reminds me that I shouldn't unexpectedly spend money while unemployed!) I'm either going to burn out on it quickly (which will suck, having bought DVDs and all), or I'm going to have found a new fictional something to absorb my time. Which will be, I suppose, a good thing.
I'm moody lately. I was all angsty-teenager on Monday. (Though group theory seems to blame that bizarrely on the Dan Bern show Sunday (which was, incidentally, great). I was goodish Tuesday and yesterday. Today, I'm a bit downish again. Only down isn't the word. It really is more like an angsty-teen feeling. It's... irking. I didn't really like feeling like this back in HS when it wasn't an uncommon thing. I particularly dislike it now.
I don't feel like getting into it just now, really. But maybe my next entry I'll go into it. Otherwise I'll end up making an entry about it in the green book.
Now I have to decide if I'm going to the pool tonight or not.
