ah, the labor day weekend has all but arrived and damn, i’m in deep need.

gonna do a little reset of my life this weekend. clean out the closet, revamp the tai chi practice and try to figure out a way to keep myself inspired in the kitchen. something has been seriously off the last week or so and i need to get it back on track.

i was thinking this morning that i’d love to have a side business doing custom computer builds. granted, it would have to involve customers, which is never a fun thing. maybe i’ll just build them and stick them on the net for sale. that would be cool. the main coolness with these potential machines would be the casings. i’d do them up all artsy-fartsy and loaded with cool features like little secret drawers and things. they wouldn’t even look like computers, they would be tall and super thin or low and really squat, they would have curves and swirls and be loaded up with all the latest open source software.

and now i must say something that will be unpopular with many, many people. i don’t believe in the election. sure, i’ll vote for obama, because the alternative is just not imaginable. that does not mean that i believe a single word the man says. he talks pretty, yes, he says things i want to hear from a candidate. and if he manages to accomplish one quarter of what he talks about, he’ll have earned my vote. but frankly, after the hoopla of getting the democrats in on that last go round, only to have them fold before our eyes, i’m jaded. i’m cynical. the system’s broken and someone is going to have to prove to me that it can work.

yay, now that i’ve ruffled a bunch of feathers, i’m going to see if i can squeeze some crochet in here. work was pretty busy for a little while here, but seems to be dying off. we’re out at 1 (hopefully) so yay for half days!
