It's so freaking hot out... I am about at the point where I'll turn on the AC... I've resisted so far because there's a really nice breeze blowing and I love fresh air... just so hot... must be 95 or so with the humidity... ugh.
Had a wonderful day off from work today, managed to catch up on some school work, and sorted tonnes of clothes -- with lots more in the charity pile, and lots more to add I'm sure... I've decided if I don't know what's in a drawer, box, cupboard, whatever -- I DON'T NEED IT! I only really need the shit I use regularly. I loved it when I relocated and hadn't received all my stuff in a way, I only had the necessities. And the house was a lot easier to keep clean. :)
On another note, an online friend of mine had some gastric bypass (or something similar) surgery about 18 months ago and she's lost a lot of weight. Too much. She went from 330 to umm... 130... and still wants to lose more. She's starting to look like lara flynn boyle, isn't eating right, but denies there's a problem. Even her therapist has mentioned anorexia, but she won't hear it. I don't know how to get through to her. I've considered emailing her husband, but he sees it too, so what is the point in that :/ She looked great around 145 (she's 5'9"), but now she just looks sickly.

So I finished my homework for tonight now, yaaaa! I might even read ahead and get a jump on Wednesday's work... maybe ;)
Now the grrr part... I was setting up some new equipment for my AV system earlier and I had various units pulled out and was rewiring things, and my DVD player was on its side... AND NOW A DISC IS STUCK! ACK! It must have dislodged, I forgot it was in there... so now it won't open, and won't play.
I don't know what I'm going to do to get it it dislodged. I'm almost at the point where I'll get the screwdrivers out and take it apart, I'm just worried I won't get it back together again. And it's my new progressive scan all region DVD player :(
Any ideas are welcome!!

I had never realized just how loud fighter jets were until they flew overhead yesterday... well, nearby, a couple of miles away by the looks of it but I still thought something was coming straight in my direction and the windows rattled and shook. There are loads of fighter jets flying around me now for an airshow a few miles away. Quite loud they are. I'd love to have gone, I admit, as I love things that fly, and the idea of seeing helicopters, if they had any, would be thrilling. Especially Apaches :D
I don't care much for the 4th of July tho... it's not that I'm against the idea of it, or anti-American or anything like that.
I am happy for people who can celebrate and have fun, I just hate that particular day. I have for umm.. 12 years now, since my Mom died on 4th of July in 1992. Try as I might I cannot seem to bring myself past the sadness this time of year and go out and have fun anymore, so I'm content to be here, with my thoughts and memories and regrets -- and ever fluxuating mood. I choose to leave the festivies to people who are not marking a horrible anniversary with this date, and while I considered doing something in celebration this year with friends, I decided not to chance having a breakdown and as a result bringing down everyone's mood (even for a while) on what is for most a great, happy, joyous occassion.
I still wish I could see the airshow and helicopters though.
Tonight the fireworks will cap it off. I do enjoy them from my apartment, I have a 270 degree view from a high floor and can see them for miles in all directions.
And then there are the idiots who think they're pyrotechnic experts. Two nights ago someone was lighting off tonnes from the sidewalk at my corner for almost an hour... after about 45 minutes I'd had enough and reported them once I noticed the entire neighborhood was covered in a cloud of smoke as a result. Apparently I was not alone, as the dispatcher knew the intersection of my street when I called and asked if they're illegal in the city. They either ran out or it took the police a while to arrive, because it became silent 10 minutes after that.
I saw the aftermath of their little stupidity yesterday when I walked to the store and saw literally a 10x20 foot area full of the burnt wrapper remnants and stinking of sulfer. Oh well.
I can appreciate some people having responsible fun, but I don't care how careful a person is, an urban district with apartments and private homes in the CITY is not the place to do it. At least go to a park of field. Karma will get the stupider of the bunches and they'll inevitably injure themselves or destroy thier own property and not the proprety of others (hopefully).
Last year an entire arsenal went off on the ground in my parking lot and shit was flying everywhere hitting all the buildings, including mine, that faced the parking lot. Apparently launching the fireworks was too much trouble, or they were too drunk or too stupid (or a combination of all) so they were set off on the ground. Umm..yea.
Anyway, stupid idiots aside I have a great vantage point for explosions in the sky and look forward to tonight's celebrations from the comfort of my living room. :)
Now, back to the homework, deadlines loom...

Okay! I finally thought of a name for my blog...
"On a clear day... I can see myself for miles"
It's a line from a song from my favorite musical, Taboo on Broadway... I was browsing templates and I saw a blue sky in one and it hit me like a brick! BAM! So now I need to design a template to match. Woo, it has a name ;)
