Oops

Just figured out that I was missing a significant feature of live journal. Namely, secured entries. Since I always use a browser with cookies disabled except when I specifically require them, I never logged in to lj. I didn't realize I was missing anything. I'm really rather embarrassed about that. I made up my account on there thinking I'd look over the whole system in detail later and learn how everything worked, and then my life got busy. One might think I would have figured it out sooner, but my brain works oddly sometimes. Sometimes I think too abstractly for my own good, and other times, like in this instance, I'll get so stuck in a linear pattern of doing something that it never occurs to me to change it. Heh. Well, anyway, I've figured it out now...

(no subject)

Woke up late with a sore throat today. I really didn't feel like dealing with bad air around the miniatures operation on top of an already irritated airway, so I ended up staying home. It's mostly better now, but I doubt that would be the case if I had gone in. Interestingly enough, my brother is also staying home from school today, which I didn't realize 'till he left his room a minute ago. I guess he heard me playing with my guitar for a while. I was even, umm, singing a little. I'm kind of embarrassed, 'cause I'm really not good enough to try to sing and play at the same time yet.

On the subject of music, Benjie introduced me to a group called The Eels, who produce some really good stuff. Their 'Woman Driving, Man Sleeping' is planted firmly in my brain. It's been a long time since I put a song on repeat and just listened to it a bunch of times.

Seems George is also sick today with a bit of laryngitis. I wish whatever bug is hanging around the area and randomly annoying everybody would just go away. I haven't been really sick lately, but every once in a while I've felt a sort of malaise for a day, as if I'm going to be coming down with something, then it goes away. Anyway, seems I'll be taking George out shopping today since he doesn't have a vehicle. I've been enjoying having a day to myself, but he's willing to buy me lunch so I can deal with that. ^_^

A certain attractive, intelligent, and very sweet woman keeps appearing in my thoughts at random, though fairly frequent, intevals. This is not at all objectionable.
