Thrush Hermit

I got a wild hair about an hour ago to see if I could stay a hermit in my office the entire day, never go upstairs to the office, and never really leave except restroom. I already conned Matt to get my lunch. I haven't called anyone. I have answered the phone because I am not completely avoiding work. Not sure why I am in unsocial mode but I think I am just dreading the large amounts of work and stress the spring semester promises. Today is my last day without any appointments, orientations, students, tasks due, etc... But alas, my plan is foiled by the smart doors man who needs to teach me how to change the keypad code at The Blaze. Damn it! I could almost do it! (And I seem to think I am coming out of my holiday funk??)
Here's something goofy from SMB- try it with your favorite bands
Today I explored My Space for the first time fully. It is like following a linking chain of your past. I found Sugar High's page from Cartwheels from Albert from Jon, it's like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing. You can find people you know through all these other people you know. I am still unsure of the point of it. I understand for musicians but for just friends, you can talk easier via an AIM style than posting tiny messages. I just couldn't believe the musicians I found that I would never think even touched a computer, like Steve Larson. Found a spot for Jon Auer, Scotty J, all sorts of people including Blush. I screwed around with it for a while but I'm still just uncertain why to waste time on it. I guess blogging could be considered an equal time suck (as Kate called it) I have always had a journal of some sort so I don't see that as a time waste. (Although we know how well my re-reading of my journals after 6 years went)
The smart door guy just called-see obligations, I hate 'um! Gotta go! xo Lazy Maid

OK, I'm back, maybe a half hour later with a new theory. Maybe the dungeon office is the reason for my dim view lately. Just sitting over at The Blaze while he worked on the door perked me up. The sun felt so good walking over there too. I just wonder if part of my psyche can be blamed on my dim lighting and lack of windows.

I am not racing this weekend; I am trying to be ok with it. I told Dan I did not want a short term fix, but it means missing the first team race for the third year in a row. I am trying to stay optimistic that I will be racing soon. I have yet to work on Bay Window still. I had a huge headache last night, hoped it would go away after we went to dinner but it didn't. I think tonight is the night, barring an unforeseen circumstances. .

One more funny thing, remember my blog about guitar players with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths? Definitely a Doug and Robin thing! I was looking closer at a picture of Sloan that I have on my office hours and have decided they are sucker sticks, not cigarettes- hahahahaha!
