The South Seas. Technicolor drinks with umbrellas and pineapple slices sticking out the top. Cabana boys that all look like Cary Elwes and give great massages to boot.

I woke up at 2 this morning. Couldn't go back to sleep. Thoughts took off at Mach 10, the way they do at such times. Finally decided that some things that had been hanging over my head were going to be put off until June, dammit. Maybe longer--I would deal with them when I was ready and not one second before. Problem was, it took me until 530 to reach that decision.

I managed to grab another hour's sleep before crawling out of bed. I am tired now, and an odd combo of cranky and relieved. Cranky because I'm tired, but relieved because I gave myself a bit of a break.

I found out this morning that a friend from work, an admin I'd known for almost 16 years, passed away yesterday. We had spoken just before I went to C'ville--she didn't look well, but I didn't push. We joked that the kennel bill for my dogs was going to cost more than my hotel--she wanted to see the numbers when I got back. I meant to send them, but I think she was already in the hospital by then.

Dianne was a Minnesota Vikings fan. Every fall, she'd decorate her cube with purple and gold, especially when the Vikes played the Bears or the Packers. One year when the Bears beat the Vikes, iirc, she had to decorate her cube in Bears colors. Oh, the muttering.

Life is a keyboard. Over time, the keys disappear, one by one, and you're left trying to write the same script with fewer and fewer letters.

Wiscon is coming up next month. Many friends attending. I think I will need a con.

But a cabana boy with a drink in his hand wouldn't go amiss right now.

The Most Useless Test Ever
Here is your result, I hope you find it completely useless. I know it won't make any sense, because I made the quiz and none of the results can make any sense.

After some ruminating about how best to consolidate my multiple modes of self-expression (SFFNet newsgroup, Yahoo! group, website journal, and LJ), I decided that combining LJ with the website journal made the most sense. I would post pretty much the same information on both anyway, and this way I can post the info with emoticons and avatars and comments. I confess that Live Journal was claiming the bulk of my time with all the pretty little options.

So here it is. Enjoy!
