Yay, my website is where it’s supposed to be.

May 20, 2004

Turns out my website was just hiding after all. My Mom had no Internet access all day yesterday, and so that’s why my site was unavailable until the evening when she got home and was able to reset it, not just for my bebefit but so that she coudl browse, too. Comcast has really funky service a lot of the time, but sadly, there’s not much that can be done about that.

I meant to watch the season finale of “Law & Order” last night at 10 after I watched the “Angel” series finale, but it slipped my mind and I was alseep at 11 when it ended, anyhow. I did want to watch, though, because it was Jerry Orbach’s last episode as Lenny Bricoe. As a 12-year veteran of the show, I’m sad that he decided to leave, but I can understand wanting to move on after that amount of time. Next, I presume, will be Sam Watterson leaving, but I hope that doesn’t come for years to come. He’s alwas been my favorite character on the show, and I never get tired of his antics. Perry Mason had shenanagins, Matlock had tactics, and Jack McCoy has antics. Or trickery, whichever. But in either case, the show won’t be the same without Briscoe. I did hear who’s replacing him, though, none other than Dennis Farina. That should be interesting. I’m always interested when film actors make the transition to TV since it’s considered to be less “glamorous” than films, but heck, fresh blood is always a welcome change on a show as diverse as “Law & Order.”

So here we are on Thursday, almost to the weekend. It’s so odd getting back into the swing of days having feels to them again and looking forward to Fridays (or Saturdays, for that matter). I’m finding that I’m not nearly as tired this week as I have been in previous weeks, and I can’t tell whether it’s because I’m drinking more caffeine in the mornings or beacuse I’m sleeping better and making sure that I get enough rest. Either way, I’m making it to the end of the day without feeling so exhausted that I don’t want to do anything except drop into bed. That’s a nice feeling. I feel like I’m leading a normal life. Well, mostly. I still have money in my bank account, so once I start paying monthly bills, THEN I’ll feel like I’m leading a normal life. Mostly. Then again, just what exactly is “normal”? I mean, the position I’m in right now isn’t anything new for me. Society dictates that after you graduate from college you begin “real life”, but what exactly is that? Working full time? I’ve done that already. I did that BEFORE I went to college. Commuting in the mornings and evenings, driving through traffic. Yeah, I was only 19 but I was more or less leading an adult life. So what is this now? I don’t know. I feel like I’m waiting for something to happen, but I don’t know what I’m expecting nor do I know how long I should even wait. Or maybe I’m just waiting for some sort of sign. But indicating what? I don’t know. Mysteries to unravel as time goes on….

I didn’t make it into the exercise room yesterday, but I think that I’ll do it tomorrow. My Dad invited me to head over to the coast with him on Saturday, so I may just go straight from here over to his house on Friday after work, spend the night, and then leave with him in the morning. That’s probably what will happen, so I can use his treadmill and weights and get some exercise in. It’s good to at least TRY and keep a schedule, no?

Thanks for the car suggestions. I’ll keep those in mind as I start looking in what I can only assume will be the next month or two. Good day, all.
