A gentle reminder.

“Life is slow when the groove is on, tripping lights fantastic disco show.” (Groove Armada)

I see two things here. First, my life (and life in general) is not slow right now, it’s in hyperdrive. And not in a good way.

Two, my groove has not been on for quite some time. I lost it and it makes me sad.

Everything is happening too fast, days are zipping past me and I’m staring off into the ether.

The universe is aware of this funk of mine, so she recently gave me a little nudge. Get your groove on Christa, slow things down, enjoy what’s happening, and start tripping those lights fantastic.

It’s never too late.


yay!

After two days of no cable/internet connection, Mr Cable Man finally came and fixed everything.

Going for two entire days without TV or internet is not something I recommend.

you know what broke it? The stupid Mexicans next door. OF COURSE.

Anyway.

So, I’m leaving in a few days and I won’t be back for two weeks. And while I am glad to be leaving, I am worried about what Gordon will do while I’m gone. Regardless of whether or not he actually does “bad” things, the issue here is that I don’t trust him. I am EXPECTING him to do bad things. This gets to the root of our problem. No matter what he does or doesn’t do, I don’t trust him. He can behave like a frigging saint or he can have drug-riddled orgies here and my suspicions and doubts remain the same. Part of me thinks I should lock up everything valuable or send it off to someone’s house while till I get back.

But I am excited to leave. I get to visit my sister and I get to see my nephew and my friend Gina is coming to visit me and it should be a lot of fun. I haven’t seen Gina in…over five years! Hmm, I think I already mentioned this. But I am super glad.

Blah blah, I don’t have much to say.

It’s really depressing when someone says “You used to be really cute” meaning when you were thinner. someone please kill me.


Regarding the Schiavo Situation…

The only group of people that I care less about hearing from than the politicians and Christians are celebrities. But apparently they are so important, what they have to say is so VITAL to this poor woman, her family and the very soul of America, that their thoughts and opinions need to be shared and aired.

Seriously. This has gotten out of hand. What’s happening in Florida is not our business and I resent the entire country making it my business. What is wrong with people? This should NOT be a political issue and the whole thing makes me sick. Writing and talking about politics isn’t my strong suit, despite my fierce opinions. Luckily Marianne knows her shit and pointed us to someone who can. So thanks Marianne, for showing me Digby.

Has anyone seen the reenactments that the E! channel is doing of the Michael Jackson trial? It’s so absurd, I keep thinking it’s an SNL skit.

I’d like to see people getting this worked up over the environment, like the ANWR drilling resolutions that Repbulicans dropped into the new budget plan. Or trying to save the Hubble telescope. Or maybe even protecting kids from being shot at school.

sigh. This country depresses me. This world depresses me. I wish I could be a stupid ignorant twit, skip skip skipping my way through life. I don’t want to worry or care about this stuff anymore.

Thank god for candy, my beacon of light. Oh candy, I love you so.
