Making Stuff

I'm making stuff for the holidays. I will leave it at that in all it's 'vague' glory wonderfulness. You never know. I'm making stuff because I have a lot of time right now. I have a lot of time that I'm desperately trying to fill. But I'm doing an okay job at it. I have always been good at pretending to be busy. You'd be amazed at what you can think about accomplishing without ever really doing anything.

I'm staring at this large vase of change that I've collected from waiting tables. I think I need to cash it in. It's over half way full and it's a pretty large vase. It's not doing anything just sitting there and that thought bothers me. The thought of loose change not being in circulation is sad. I think it ceases to be money and instead becomes a really inconvenient and heavy vase full of metal. That's not doing anybody any good. I should change it in.

The Blue Angels are back in town. I saw them practicing or drilling or whatever it is that they do when they make pretty patterns in the sky and flip and turn. They are also constantly breaking the sound barrier which causes sonic booms. At least, I think it's them. In any event, it was startling at first, but you'd be amazed at what you can become accustomed to. After the first 50 or so, I hardly notice the entire house shaking anymore. (I'm being sarcastic there for those people who just can't tell sometimes)

I've watched a lot of movies. I watched "Stop Loss" last night. It was really good. Great cast, okay story line. Makes you kind of angry, but I think that was the point. I would recommend it though. I tried to watch "The Office" the tv series. I watched over half of the first season and just couldn't take it anymore. I know that it's a hilarious show, but it's only good in small doses. (At least for me). What else...Oh, Watched "Kabluey". Boring. I've been watching the Firefly series off and on. I've seen it several times though, so it's a given that it's great stuff. It's hard not having cable sometimes. Combine not having cable with lazyness and you'd be surprised what you can put up with watching. Unfortunately, I'm so used to not watching television that I can't do it for very long. So I watch things in pieces and draw and make 'stuff'.

I should really get rid of my change.
