9:39 AM
Groggy this morning. I woke up at approximately 4:39 AM with my blood sugar dropping fast, so I had to get up and eat. So I don't feel too hot at the moment. It's overcast.
Last night I watched an incredible movie called "The Stick", a war/horror hybrid from South Africa. It was very creepy and packed with emotion. It's worth watching again. I really enjoy war movies but I tend not to buy them. I think I'm still under the spell of certain former moralising friends who think anything that smacks of "manhood" is bad. This is an attitude that I must crawl out from under. I don't believe that war or violence is good. But I don't think a world where everyone is blissed out and at peace is possible, or even desirable. I think the most vile kind of conflict comes from morals, politics, we're right and they're wrong attitudes. That is why I don't get involved in such things. But I'm not so naive to believe that anyone else has that attitude.
To get back to what I was saying, there is nothing wrong with "maleness", as long as it's not used as a tool to keep others down. The same can be said of any belief that one clings to and tries to mold the rest of the world by. It's a cliche, but a hammer can be used to create a house, or break a skull. Does that mean all hammers should be illegal, taken out of our hands, etc., "just in case""? Oddly, there are some people that would say yes.
Listening to Debussy piano works.

What the hell is wrong with Hotmail? I can't delete, I can't send.....making me mad! Maybe I'll need to switch to the Gmail account. Would Hotmail even care?
I have to sit around and wait for the organic vegetable delivery. If no one picks it up they call either me or E. freaking out. Just leave the box!
Bumba decided that it was time to throw up, but at least she hopped off the couch. She's such a good kitty.

Re-arranging bookshelves-an exercise in futility!
6:13
The books are still not re-arranged! Okay, I haven't been working on them the entire day but it looks like it'll never end! Currently listening to "In Every Dream Home a Heartache".
10:48 PM
Done. Had to move another case into the hallway,but, oh well. It works.
Finally watched "Hardcore" after waiting for ten years. I liked it; the eye watering '70s fashions, the sleaze, etc. Good times.
I teach in the morning.
