In A Dream  I had a dream with T'Pol, the Vulcan woman, this morning. Well, I am not sure if she was totally in character, but she seemed like it. I didn't really notice her ears.. Anyway, she was doing things, maybe sort of exercising, and I was simply there, by chance it seems. I was watching her. Her legs were bare, I think it was some sort of casual/exercise outfit she was wearing. Toward the end of her doing things in this little area, she layed down, so I layed down next to her. She seemed to be practicing or something, and she was totally silent, pretty much in character. I was enjoying laying next to her, anyway. Then, all of a sudden, she got up. It seemed whatever she had been doing was done. Impulsively, still laying down, I wrapped my arms around her legs. I looked up, and she looked mildly perturbed. She sort of looked as if she was determining what to do. So I let go, and she started to leave. I told her to "have a good weekend." (Which seems now like a strange thing to have said...)

32 Degrees! It's 32 degrees out. All week I've been thinking, "ugh, I cleared the space around my heater, and the heater works great now, so what happens? It's balmy." Now, suddenly, it's 32 degrees. Wow.. I heard on the radio this morning, this early Sunday, at 2:00AM Pacific, there's supposed to be a spectacular meteor shower. I love shooting stars! That's the peak time, they should be good for a few nights though. If we can manage a break in the clouds.... They Failed Bush has really impressed me a few times lately. I was off one day, watching him give a few comments. One of them struck me, "They tried to diminish our soul." Oh man, I love this imagery. You can tell he really feels this too.  Dim Glint This morning feels very dreary, with a dim glint of light in off in the distance. [Hmm, HOW do I reduce the spaces between posts on a particular day? Can't be too terribly complicated, can it?] Thursday, November 15, 2001
Putin Boy, Putin's quite good at answering call-in questions. He's on NPR answering questions right now.. Asked if Bush was right to call the head terrorist character "evil," Putin replied, yes, even that was a mild observation... This photo of Bush and Putin reminds me of the pick up driving guys who were often related, or at least very close friends, in high school. I was a bit of an alien there... (Edit note; well the original photo of them reminded me of that.. I like this one too. They sure seem to *like* each other.) Glorious Private Realm My glorious private realm beckons... It won't be long now. A taste of freedom...  Smoldering I watched last night's episode of "Enterprise" this morning, while treading very early. Ooooo, that Vulcan girl, T'Pol, just smolders... I was watching her walk out from the bridge in one scene, and she walks like a Vulcan might! Very good, not like a human girl at all! :-) I *loved* when she left the captain there on that planet, when he was with that other girl, to gather more information. The way she looked back at him, as she left for the ship and her science, "enjoy your day." Sly little smile - - she knew how much the captain was going to relish his time with the attractive dark haired native woman... He did too! Ha, travel millions of miles across the universe, just to land and passionately kiss the nice looking female you find to be central to that episode's plot. Ak, the Vulcan looks a lot better with her usual in character short hair though. Somehow, the long hair just took a lot from her usual pixie-haircut mystique. (To think I missed five episodes, while I wasn't paying attention....) As It Should Be Last Friday and Saturday, I scurried around town, here and there, to do all sorts of "sunshine" things, before the forecasted rain arrived. True to their word, it's rained much of the week since. This morning on the way to work, looking out at the bland grey skyline, I felt a calm. I thought back to the long dry summer, so very unusual for Portland. What a welcome relief, this return to wetness...the world hasn't changed after all. (I swear, one of my working neighbors has a fan which sounds like an old bomber...Finally, it's shut up! Sometimes, that particular vegetarian drives me out with the smell of his fragrant bananas. I have my revenge though, the occasional gooey, smelly, cheeseburger. ;-)) Perfect Luxury Solitude, what a perfect luxury. Well, solitude of choice... I get plenty of opportunity for the opposite of solitude, the better to appreciate the solitude I do get... Funny how I can wake up at 4:30AM, get up, do my treadmill, and feel all the more energetic for it. Sometimes it seems better than sleep. Ha, I don't know why, but I kind of love attaching headings to these things... For Her  This is the way of life, and yet, it still seems strange to me... We were just sent a last call for signing up for the office Christmas Luncheon. Feeling sort of anti-social, I hadn't signed up. I started wondering what I might miss. Ha, with the note, I received an attachment of who had so far indicated they were attending. "OK," I thought, "Is *she* going?" I looked over the list. Nope. Oh, well that's one more reason, I guess I just won't. So then I started thinking of that girl, and I thought, "Oh hey, her and I could go out to lunch instead." Then, "I sure would like to take her out to lunch." (And have had that thought for quite some time.) Finally, "Any day of the week, I'd pay all my money for her." That part came without thinking, and that's the scariest part!!! Now, that particular girl, just the thought of the time together, with anything or nothing ever following... Seems delightful. Her charm slays me. It scares me. I'm disgustingly shy. I dream. Wednesday, November 14, 2001
Vulcan Female!  The Vulcan woman is great!! I finally watched the start of the first �Enterprise� episode this morning while doing my treadmill. Tonight I checked tonight�s (rerun?) episode, �Breaking The Ice.� I really like it.. They didn�t try too hard to break out of stereotypes, for once. {The Specials - "Stereotypes - Part 2" 'Burn two spliffs and rock to the riddim."} Well, except for the Vulcan, Jolene Blalock . :-) She looks a lot better to me in character, than in her Maxim magazine photos from the Enterprise site. I imagine her being really warm-hearted and passionate underneath. I like the Captain and Commander too. Hmm, I may have to make a point of catching this one. Wait, hmm, am I missing something? Why is the "Sub-commander" higher ranking than the "Commander"? Although, it's really fun having a Vulcan take over command of the Enterprise now and then, just like the old days! I never really watched a couple of the Star Trek spin-offs that much. I liked 'Next Generation', but my heart wasn't in it as much. This one, yes maybe. Ha, the Captain just doesn't seem like someone who belongs in space. I haven't figured out what sort of drama I'd see him in, but he seems really out of place somehow. Maybe it's the way he looks? Actually, I like it, it makes it more fun... Oh, and the "shower scene"!!! Laura was so right, it's very erotic! Ha ha ha... Tuesday, November 13, 2001
Effort Today, something so simple as washing and cutting up an apple seems to take almost more energy than I have... After a very productive long weekend, I'm making the effort to struggle through this day. I resisted popcorn in favour of this apple, which seemed very boring, but which actually tastes refreshing. Ahh, to be sleeping... |
