so i was rearranging my files (i’ve got a ton, don’tcha know) across my three hard drives earlier tonight, and backing up stuff to my 250 gig firewire drive to help free up room on my laptop’s drive and my external 80 gig drive. at one point i was sorting through my collection of images i had floating around on here and figured i should change my desktop picture.

so now my desktop picture is of this surfer girl that i found on flickr. very hot – yes, surfer girl, i mean you.

last night i dreamt that i wanted to do some underwater photography, so i dove in the ocean with my brand new camera to take pictures – the camera worked, but i knew as soon as i got out that i had ruined it and tried to follow instructions in the manual for what to do when you jump into water with your camera and how to fix things. i was incredibly sad about the whole thing, even after i just woke up. at least i was until i realized it was only a dream and my camera was fine after all, haha…

shortly after i woke up, i got a call from some real estate brokerage firm offering me a job (last night i had poked around on monster.com and fixed something with my resumé which probably got their attention). i politely declined it, figuring it sounded like stuffing envelopes or making housecalls… *ba-dum ching!*

music meme!

speaking of music, i’ve only got one response so far about the mix cd exchange! i would have thought more of you would have been interested… i’ll give you guys through sunday to email me with your name/address if you want in on the exchange.

anyway, today i ended up mowing the lawn – dad said that it needed to be mowed, and if i didn’t do it then he’d have to do it, so i ended up mowing it for him. afterwards, i came inside and soaked in cold water in the bath while listening to smooth jazz and drinking a ginger ale – you can’t get much cooler than that! whammywah also told me that apparently there was a heat advisory out, so no wonder i felt so burned up. i wanted to wash the mini (as it’s been over a month and several hundred miles since its last wash) and/or clean my room, but after mowing the lawn i didn’t have the energy.

i must have been going nuts with the heat outside when mowing the lawn… i tried listening to my ipod, but it died on me about a quarter of the way through the job. once i had the yard about 2/3 done i started rewriting the lyrics to “motherly love” by frank zappa and the mothers of invention in my head:

mowin’ the lawn

or else your father will boo

after that, i started whistling “the battle hymn of the republic” as i marched back and forth across the lawn with the lawnmower.

so that’s about all that i’ve done this afternoon.

now, though, i’m in the mood for an extended period of time in the arms of a girl. i could use me some hugs.
