Monday Slow Blogging
9:30 AM
Ugh. Monday morning. Just starting on that second cuppa... barely awake. It was an interesting weekend. (Isn't that some kind of old curse? "May you live in interesting times"??)
My hormones managed to slap me in the face with one of my own biggest character defects this weekend. The fucked up thing about that, really, was that I had to find myself being an ass to the one I love for that truth to come home to me. Thank Goddess for a partner who loves me unconditionally, because I would have kicked my ass, if I'd talked to me that way.
2:10
Okay, an even slower day than I thought. A load of dishes, a few blogs read, and a bubblebath later, my poor GirlyBoi has come home from work early complaining of back pain. Poor her. I know if must be bad, because that woman will keep working after slicing her hand to a depth that should have had stitches, and then come home covered in blood and duct tape. Got her all iced up and anti-infamatoried and resting. My morning reading was pretty overwhelmed with the Feminist Blog Carnival at Team Rainbow. Check out the links for a well written, diverse commentary on feminism under the subtopic of Freedom.
4:25
Finally got my bulbs from betmo (Holla, gal!! Thank you) planted and trimmed. Cut some fresh asparagus spears from the garden for dinner, felt a lil nappalicious so joined my love for some zzzzz's
Wondering if anybody/everybody likes the SnapShots. They irritated the hell out of me the first few times I ran into them, popping up all over the place, but after awhile I started thinking, "Hmmm.... " I think I like them. I know I like them when I'm blogcruising, checking out new blogs that I don't know well enough to trust their links as something that would interest me. So they can be a distraction on my "bloggies' pages", but are great lil previews of link content. The jury is still out on this one. Lemme know what ya'll think.
I was inspired today by DivaJood to get proactive again about managing my health. Dealing with the pain and fatigue of my fibromyalgia this last nearly 2 months (my longest and most severe flare-up in well over a year, maybe two), has been pretty tough. My mostly unwillingness to mention my physical problems here in my blog seems to reflect the same attitude in my physical life. Thanks for the reminder, Diva!!!
I did a phone interview today for a lovely woman, Maria Somethingorother, from a So. Cal publication, who is writing an article on social networking sites, and was referred to me by Jerry Kaplan over at Winster.com. I talked a bit about MySpace, toward which the journalist's view was that it was geared for and dominated by the pre-teen to 30-ish crowd, (I did tell her that I maintain a small presense there, as do alot of peeps my age, and let her know that the Blog Against Theocracy educated me to the fact that there are more tinking people on mySpace than my prejudice previous to BAT gave it credit for) I put in a plug for 43Things and Clipmarks, which led to a brief discussion of Internet communications, free speech, censorship and ettiquette and led to my referring her to David Brin, who has some incredible insights, predictions and opinion on the direction the internet and privacy (or the illusion thereof) and information overload is going.
So... It's nearly 7:00 PM, and I've wended my way through a slow monday into a lovely desert evening. Beautiful.

my only problem with my space is- i don't want to have to sign up to leave comments. i like the openness of blogger or blogs in general. hope you two are feeling better for goodness sake! here you live in beautiful country and can't fully enjoy it because of your health! that's one thing not to take for granted! i don't dig the comment bubble things but that's me. i am not usually on the cutting edge of cool- so i just deal :)
