Propane is flammable

I find myself, at 1 in the morning, trying to remember what today has consisted of and only being able to remember what time it is. I need to write earlier. I will try to keep this coherent.

One thing i've learned is that I'll never be bored at home. I have so many distractions in my living space that I actually get distracted from simple things like laundry and making lunch. Between the computers and the game systems and the television and the piano and the guitar and the books and...you get the idea.

I woke up later than i wanted to. I went downstairs and was distracted from my morning "taking of the pills" by the guitar. I played through some songs i've written recently, not liking how my voice sounds when i first wake up. Then i carried on with the morning routine until I found myself doing laundry and then settling into my desk chair, my computer monitor fading from black to my desktop, Elisha Cuthbert wallpaper in all it's glory. I checked the email, checked the buddy list, read some news. It was a pretty standard morning of domestic responsibility shunned for the internet and other distractions.

Then i went to work in the afternoon. I began organizing the editing rooms. I worked and chatted with some people until this evening. Then we graduated the Summer 2004 Tu/Th class. It was nice to see people's relatives and friends there. They worked so hard, I'm glad they got to share some of it with people they care about.

How mundane is all of this? I'm not even trying for mundane, it's just happening that way. I will say this though. Tonight wasn't the first time i've been at a class graduation, but for some reason I was thinking a lot about that place and the people. I meet so many people, and I realized tonight, what has always been the case. Everyone i meet, regardless of how well i wind up knowing them, changes my life. That's one of the reasons why i love this job.

Some things i learned today:
- Doing laundry would be so much better if someone else did it for me.
- Propane is flammable, but not that flammable.
- CSB and ADD are almost synonomous sometimes.
- I need a new dayminder, mine ends in December.
- Life goes on and usually we go with it. But that doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
- Chinese food is only good until you swallow it.
