Tired Sundays

Currently listening to:
Heartbreak Warfare
John Mayer

Yep, very itchy. I think someone should make an irritation clinic that has a swimming pool filled with calamine. Mmmm..

Today my family and I drove to Fort Worth to get pickle barrels for my parents' rain collection system. While in town we ate at this Mexican restaurant that my parents like, but it gave me digestion issues. I just don't like that kind of food, I guess. After that we went to a cowgirl museum that had a Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit. It was neat, but I itched so much I couldn't concentrate on any of it.

Stopped at Verizon and decided to keep my phone for the next two years and get a new one before trying for the Peace Corps. I still have to buy a new battery, but I have unlimited texting! And it includes pictures messaging too!! This is exciting only because everyone texts instead of calling. Calling is kind of nervous anyway.

The interesting thing about texting is that once never really knows where they go or who gets it. The minute you hit "send" it's gone, no taking it back. Then is the wait for a response, a nervous wait of half fear/half regret. Until a response is received, I won't know who I'm talking to.

I was thinking about computers and how they are very human-like. I think I would like to write a short story on the topic in the style of Jerzy Kosingski, a very hard aim to accomplish.

I was also thinking it would be interesting to produce a CD of the daily sounds which surround an individual as they go about their day - specifically walking the entire day inside and outside and in elevators and in parks and so on.
