My German teacher, until the day he died, always called me Rosa. (We often saw each other on holidays, as my sister married his son...). I'm suddenly struck with a sudden pang of melancholy about him. He was one of those amazing people who gave and gave and gave so much. Everyone thought it was weird that he wouldn't call me by my real name, but I kind of dug it. Around him, I was Rosa, kind of like around here, I am very much SBG.
Anyway.
I desperately need to reconfigure my computer at home. Well, not the computer itself, but the desk. I have got a knot in my shoulder that's so painful right now (you know when your muscle is so out of shape that it radiates heat and is hard to the touch you're in trouble), and I'm pretty sure it's because of how I sit at the computer at home. The problem is I don't have a real desk...but even if I did, I've got one of those huge-o monitors that doesn't work great with a desktop space. If I face it straight on, it's like I'm sitting on top of it, so I scootch the monitor off to the side and I end up all twisty.
*sigh*
I could probably deal with the no-desk thing if I had a better (flat!) monitor. Or a laptop. Laptop isn't something I'm ready to purchase yet, but I really should get moving on the monitor.
The long range goal is to move the computer into my bedroom, and have a longer sofa with armchair in my living area. I want to keep them separate, because I find I'm WAY more productive when I'm actually on the computer if I don't have the TV on as well. Plus, there's plenty o' room in the bedroom and it would make my living space look so much homier to not have the computer there.
Also, I keep getting these random spikes of headache that dissipate just as quickly as they arrive. The strange part is that each time the pain comes, it's in a different region. First behind my right eye, next left, and now at the base of the skull, to the left. It's looping around. It would really suck if they were precursers to an aneurism or something, because I'm not ready to kick the bucket yet. My little sister once (more than once, actually) told me she had a very strong feeling I'd die before 35, but while I'd prefer sudden death to long and lingering...not liking that thought so much.
And two songs to pimp:
Ride's Vapour Trail, for some early 90s nostalgia.
and
Demons by Guster for a bit of SPN emo-ness. Great lyrics. ;)
Last bit - I hope the SPN writers use the time during this strike to grow back their brains. ;)
