Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

... to dr_nebula and jeffreycornish!!!! Have a great one!!!

Done yesterday (20111005 We)

A pretty good day, though I have the feeling that I'm being less productive than I should be. Want to be. I'll have to work on that. Um... Is working on being productive actually being productive, or am I being metaproductive as an escape from being productive?

I went out for a walk again, but turned around after only 15min or so because I was getting rained on. I must have just walked under the edge of it, though; it was still sunny and dry at work (though the rain did reach there eventually). The Monta Vista high school's LED sign said "School Cancelled Today" -- I didn't find out why until I got home. Just roll over the link if you don't want to read the story, which might be triggery for some.

In other news, Steve Jobs is dead. He died of pancreatic cancer, which killed my father a dozen years ago. He was 56, eight years younger than me.

Is it ok to feel mortal now?

Thankful Thursday

Hey, I actually posted on Thursday for the second week in a row! I know -- not much of an accomplishment. Onward! Today I'm thankful for:

• Being employed, and working with cool people.
• A killer having been tracked down.
• Cooler weather.
• "Afterlove", ysabetwordsmith's response to my Poetry Fishbowl prompt.
• People who give a damn. Yes, I'm thinking especially of you, sister-of-choice.
• My 'ohana.
