kittydesadeYou know, as I finish up this entry in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
excellent_words, it reminds me of Sesame Street. Don't laugh, there was a connection. One of the old LPs I had, a Sesame Street record, had a song on it. I don't remember the title or even all of the lyrics but I remember the tune. In English and Spanish. Accents omitted because I can't remember how to type them. "Sing. (Canta.) Sing a song. (Canta una cancion.) Make it simple to last your whole life long. (Toda la vida.) Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Sing. (Canta.) Sing a song. (Canta una cancion.)"
Yep. Now I'm crying like a baby.
Spent a little too much money today. It's my reward for toning up, for starting to get back in shape. For being able to see some real damn improvement in just two weeks of dancing, stretching, exercising. Not even that much dancing, stretching, or exercising. Half an hour a day at most. Or that's how it started. Slowly increasing the time, amount. The degree to which I'm bending myself into pretzels. I picked up the 4-Disc Narnia, which is going back in the vault, and Pirates 2 the 2 disc edition, which I meant to pick up at Best Buy but they didn't have the 2-disc edition. And Kanji and Kana, which I leant to someone but never got back. Bastard.
And then I went to Wal-Mart and discovered that really big, good stainless steel pots? Are farkin' expensive. But I got a three-piece set that's probably pretty cheap, but. I'm only using it to dye things. And only, maybe, once. Also a set of teaspoons I can get red dye on with impunity. If I lived any closer to a thrift store I would be all over that. Alas, no.
... There's something really kind of ironic and at first glance self-defeating about posting about getting rid of stuff, and in the next post talking about what you just picked up. Heh. I swear, I'm not this self-contradictory usually. That, and I acquired two DVDs, a book I already had, and some pots. I'm getting rid of at least another garbage bag of clothing, ten or twenty books... god knows whatall that's in the bins downstairs. I think I'll actually go through my bin of schoolbooks and research books downstairs and cull it more harshly than I had before. Just because, honestly. When am I next going to need an ape biology textbook? Yeah, I didn't think so. No more monkey lab for me!
There's a chance I won't be working tomorrow. If that happens, cleaning through the basement will occur then. Actually it might occur this afternoon. I'm in that mood again. Sewing might wait till tomorrow. I'm never gonna finish the coat at this rate.
Yes I will. I just need a few days off in a row again. 'cause I squandered the last ones. Ahwell.
