Erasers
I’ve always wanted to finish a block eraser. To use it until I had a little piece too small to be used. But I always lose them before I get to the end. I have two erasers now that I’ve managed to keep for almost a year each. …I think I may be able to do it… One of them is one of those brown Able Rub erasers that leaves huge shavings behind when you erase. That’ll be the winner, I think.

I’ll take a side of change, please.
I’m so tired of so many things right now. I know how to make things better: journal, exercise, meditate, be emotional. This will make everything from eating to exercising to living to getting things done easier, making for a happy emotional loop, generally speaking. Some things are out of control. I’m looking for the reset button, the thing to help me fully think through my thought processes and emotions. I feel stuck in so many ways, fighting with a life that needs change and a body that isn’t going along willingly. So I’m stopping. I’m doing a short fast (water/fruit juice) today and tomorrow, followed by a vegetarian diet for…

Inflation!
So I’m filling up my library from memory, and I’ve just discovered the best way to “bloat” it ever. See, back in elementary and middle school, I lived near a Half-price Book Store. During one trip, I discovered… Star Trek books. …I bought them. All of them. So now I have all of the Next Generation and Original Series books released before, say, 1999. Well over a hundred books. *grin* Now I have to keep them in boxes, because I don’t reread them much, and I don’t have that much bookshelf space. I’m excited to see how many books I have in the end. All my shelf space is double-stacked,…

It’s Facial Fasciculation Week!
Retroactive to last Wednesday, it’s Facial Fasciculation Week! (I hope you’ve been getting your fasciculation on.) Any kind of facial fasciculation is welcome, but it must be due to relatively acute stress and/or fatigue rather than a chronic disorder or long-term use of drugs. My personal facial fasciculation, which has been my loving friend in times of need since high school, is usually limited to my left eye and is a flutter in the muscles above and below that eye. Oh, my, is that embarrassing! Luckily, few people notice it unless I rub at it obsessively. Which I do, because it feels weird. Sometimes it happens in both eyes, and…
