Yesterday, I didn’t see any more animals attacking one another, but I did see a squirrel at the edge of the sidewalk. It was standing up, except its back legs were totally pressed upon the sidewalk, making me think at first that it was hurt. I didn’t get close to it, but when it saw me, [...]

Something With That Bench
Posted in Animals on May 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I went outside yesterday afternoon to read on the same bench I was on the day before. While sitting there, I saw a bird fly in to a tree and get attacked by another bird (and neither were the same bird which attacked the squirrel). Is there something in the tree all these animals want and [...]
What? Is God Trying to Send Me A Sign?
Posted in Animals on May 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was able to enjoy the lovely weather we were having yesterday, and do some of my reading outside. While sitting on a bench, I saw a bird (I think a robin) chasing after a squirrel. I didn’t see what happened, but I thought of three reasons why this could have happened: the squirrel just went [...]
Hot and Humid
Posted in Rain, tagged weather on May 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Being back at my apartment for a full day, I’ve noticed the big difference between the weather here and what I experienced last week. In Indianapolis, it was cool, and nice. Here, it was upper 80s, and very very humid, and thus, miserable. Give me mild weather any day!
However, things are supposed to be better [...]
And Once Again The Road Carries On
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged travel on May 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m back home; I will need one day to catch my breath and get some basic things done around my apartment (buy groceries, finish unpacking, catch up on e-mail with some friends, etc). Once all of that is done, I hope to do some reading this afternoon.
Driving home yesterday, a young deer ran across the highway right in [...]
The Road Continues To Go On
Posted in Doctor Who on May 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The Road does go ever on, but for the next few days, while I am away and visiting family, I probably will not be writing anything here, unless something really interesting happens which needs to be reported on.
Before the brief pause, here is a brief review of Doctor Who, The Unicorn and the Wasp: another disappointing [...]
I Guess That’s That
Posted in Sleep on May 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I woke up at my normal time this morning, so it seems I am not forming new sleeping patterns. I just had a couple days of abnormal sleep.
It looks like Sunday I will be getting together with a couple friends for lunch; Tommy will be in town for the weekend, and we are setting up [...]
Ok. The Heat Will Come Back
Posted in Apartment, Sleep on May 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sleeping in yesterday helped it so I couldn’t get back to sleep last night until much later than normal. Surprisingly, I was able to sleep in a bit today (not as much as yesterday, but half as much as before). So I got, overall, less sleep last night (because of how long it took for [...]
Now That Was Late — For Me
Posted in Rain, Sleep on May 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t know exactly why I slept in today, but I did. I woke up around 2 am, but managed to get back to sleep (and enter into an odd dream involving world domination via car insurance and rental companies), only to wake up and find I’ve slept in nearly an hour beyond normal.
We’ve had [...]
It Is Going to Be One of Those Days
Posted in Church, Doctor Who, Sleep on May 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I woke up about twenty minutes early this morning after having a night of weird (but now forgotten) dreams. I am already feeling the effects of this; I feel more than a lit foggy in my mind, and tired but not sleepy.
Yesterday’s Doctor Who was the worst of this season so far. It seemed light [...]
Coughing
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged coughing on May 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I woke up coughing this morning. I am not sure why — am I getting a cold or am I having some sort of allergic reaction to something? If the first, it explains why I feel something still in my throat, but the second could also be from an allergy, so it’s quite hard to [...]
Thunderstorm
Posted in Rain on May 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last night, we had a powerful thunderstorm in the area. It woke up me with its powerful booms, causing me to get up and turn off my computer. Thankfully, I was able to get back to sleep quickly after that. While it’s not thundering anymore, it’s still raining (and we are under a flood watch until 8:30).
I needed the sleep
Posted in Sleep on May 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I wish I didn’t need it, but yesterday I needed to sleep and because of it, I slept off and on throughout the day yesterday. So far, I am feeling better; I think I got caught up in my sleep (once again). I just couldn’t do much; I read a bit, but only light reading; [...]
Another Mixed Night of Sleep
Posted in Sleep on May 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was tired last night. Very very tired. I had been tired all day, but I just couldn’t stay up, and went to bed a bit early. I woke up around midnight, and from then on, was on/off sleep, for a couple hours, before I just was more up than I was not. I finally [...]
I Need More Food
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged food on May 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, I got my laundry done fairly early – I started early, to make sure I got it in before anyone else, and so I was able to get done by 8 am. Then I was able to take the time to do some reading. I did a bit of cleaning up of my place [...]
More Cleaning at Home
Posted in Sleep, cleaning on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Saturday, I did my weekly cleaning around my place. This morning, I need to do more — though it includes going outside of my apartment and into the laundry room. Of all the work which needs to be done, laundry is one I hate the most, and I put it off as much as I [...]
Sunday of the Fathers of the Council of Nicea
Posted in Church, Doctor Who on May 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today, Eastern Catholics remember the first ecumenical council, Nicea, with its proclamation of the divinity of Christ against the objections of Arius: Jesus is true God from God, begotten not made, of one essence with the Father — through whom all things are made. There was no time when the Son was not.
Arius thought Christ was the [...]
Saturday: Day of Cleaning, Once Again
Posted in cleaning on May 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
After study, working on my dissertation, and taking some time off to enjoy Iron Man, my apartment now needs to be cleaned once again. I especially needto make sure I pick up all the books from the floor. They have been multiplying all over the floor, as happens when I am working. But that just [...]
Woke up with a headache
Posted in Church, Sleep on May 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, we had a fair crowd at St Gregory’s for the ascension; more than I expected (I thought most would have gone on the Vespers with Liturgy service the night before). It was also the shortest service I’ve been to at St Gregory’s (in part because there was no homily). But it was still good to [...]
The Ascension of Christ
Posted in Church, Sleep, coffee on May 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, when I went to get coffee, I put the book I had down on a table to reserve my spot in the coffee shop. One of the workers were cleaning up the place, wiping seats and tables. Somehow, he thought it was left over from someone else, and took it up to the lost and found. When I got back [...]
