live cleaning of my room, non-stop yawns. but the cam is on just in case i find something interesting in the piles in my room.

Dalek i - Compass Kumpas

2006-09-23T16:49:00.000-07:00

Dalek i - Compass Kumpas: "the downright bizarre 'Happy' which sounds not unlike a party complete with jazz band being taken over by the theme tune from a bad 60s sci-fi movie whilst Gill goes lyrically insane."

heh. i told you it was silly. and if i didn't, i should have.

2006-09-23T15:50:00.000-07:00

found in my search for a "b" side called "Happy" by this band. it is nigh on impossible.

i really hadn't thought about it, but i guess if they were being sensitive about movie releases and TV, radio would be in on that as well.

some of it seems obvious, others, not so much. i guess a look at the lyrics is the key.

not all poets suck! a huge collection of my work ranging from 1993-2006 is now available in four books of different sizes. best of all, they are available on the cheap for download. no postage! how cool is that?

here are five pieces from "stop poking me lady" read by me.

feel free to constructively criticize them. thanks.

computers, ech

2006-08-06T22:21:00.000-07:00

i have, with the help of a friend, gotten my computer back up and running with several upgrades. i didn't think the day would ever come when i would feel contented and eager about this machine. i still have a lot of stuff to install, but i've done enough that it feels comfortable.

i've done little else but sleep and clean today. in fact, i just woke up from my nap at 10 pm. doc should be home in a half an hour.

and that is all in my life right now. sleep. computer. clean. yep. that covers it.

a bit of bye bye

2006-07-20T17:07:00.000-07:00

i took some time and went into a mental health facility, again. then i got back home and everything is weird because i got ECT on the wrong side of my head due to a common misconception that everyone is right handed.

so i posted over at cydniey.livejournal.com and then my modem broke and i went offline for a few weeks and it has all really just been strange.

a change

2006-05-08T12:26:00.000-07:00

sleeping beauty?

2006-05-07T20:00:00.000-07:00

damn, i slept through the day again. i would say this has got to stop, but why? what the hell do i do of value on a given day? not much.

for those who don't follow my livejournal, here's a bit of something i posted there:

that is my new hamster, Spot. my former hamster, Boo died recently and Spot was brought home to fill the void in my day. i'm very interactive with my hamsters.

and remember kids, if you are fascinated with the daily doings of me: http://cydniey.livejournal.com/

no, i'm not gone

2006-04-06T16:37:00.000-07:00

i have decided to come out from behind my name. i used to be kristin egger, or kris egger, or kristen egger. i graduated in pittsburgh in 1987.

there, i've said that. maybe i'll start updating here now that i am active on the computer again.

the box is dead

2006-01-08T12:03:00.000-08:00

there is some old cartoon craziness music that is going through my brain (i think it is the song from "who framed roger rabbit?" that daffy and donald piano duel to). and with it i have made up a little song in my head revolving around the box that took up 2/3 of the living room and its demise earlier this morning.

i emptied that box. and i took a box cutter and went apeshit. no more box.

now i have to decide if i should throw away the broken christmas disney princess pink tree, or if i keep it, will i come up with a really good idea for it later that will make it worth saving? yeah. once i get a place big enough i have a couple of things saved for the ceilings, a parachute for small cargo from vietnam, glow in the dark stars . . . and now a pink tree, which i will hang upside down from the ceiling of my future workroom and maybe hang useful things on it.

all i have to do now is take down the tree that is up, pack the ornaments, and bag it up with the other tree and thusly ready them for storage. okay, that is dealt with and the living room will be tree free by sundown.

software books

2006-01-07T18:36:00.000-08:00

i have this pile that no longer grows but still haunts me with its ever-presence: books about how to use software. books for dummies, books for the literate, books to confound even the designer of the software. early on i had to use these bulky, almost worthless things to learn what i needed to get started with my computer and the software i now use and know enough about to find online tutorials.

i can only make so much grey recycled paper out of them. some will be gleefully used as kindling as a rite of personal freedom. but still the rest of the pile sits and waits. i can't even in good conscience give them away to people.

they are a pox of the 90's, leftover in homes everywhere just lurking . . . and maybe waiting . . .

today today

2006-01-06T17:21:00.000-08:00

i tore apart my room and the studio and i only have them 2/3 put back together.

i also went out with R and got some cat food and litter.

there is stuff everywhere. and i still need to clean the kitchen and do some laundry. i also plan to make an unhealthy dinner of corned beef hash and a bagel with cream cheese. i'm starving today. i don't know why.

short list

2006-01-06T09:41:00.000-08:00

- whole milk in coffee is good
- kitty affection is fabulous
- the sky is deep blue
- R is working a short day
- friends are good

gorgeous little things

"okay, so how do i sleep?" i ask him.

"like you're climbing a wall."

look ma, no scratching

2006-01-04T21:15:00.000-08:00

i'm showing signs of defeatism, which i must defeat.

48 hours

2006-01-04T11:13:00.000-08:00

it has been 48 hours since i took lamictal. the itching is gone. i don't know if this is a good sign or a bad one. i'm glad for the itching to stop, don't at all get me wrong, i hate the itching. but i don't know what that means about going back to the lamictal.

in the meantime, i've had many recommendations for abilify and a few other drugs. but i'm not hearing from anyone who quit lamictal against their wishes (like me) who were able to find something as good. my hope is gone. but then, it comes and goes. always has.

there is still the chance that the rash i have is caused by something else. but the fact that it is going away as the drug leaves my system does not bode well for me.

this is like winning the lottery and having the money stolen. your dreams are visible and seemingly reachable one week. the next it is all pulled out from under you.

oy.

how sad

2006-01-04T11:05:00.000-08:00

the mine trapping story. we were watching last night when everyone was celebrating the 12 that were alive. i looked at doc and said, "no one has seen the survivors, no one knows what is really up, what if they were wrong?"

i was kidding. and i'm sorry for all the families.

how insanely sad.

hmmm

2006-01-03T19:53:00.000-08:00

blogging to say nothing at all.

warm fuzzies

2006-01-03T12:36:00.000-08:00

not often, but sometimes i am able to help someone through some small thing and feel really good about it.

on another note of fuzzie-ness, R and i are becomming really good friends. she is planning to move in a few months, but we're going to have a good time until then. just wait until i take her to the double down saloon.
