alexpgp | Sorry for the boredom...

I get the feeling that this past week's worth (if not more) of LJ posts have set some kind of record for sustained lack of inspiration. I find myself talking about work and only work, in some apparent mad dash to avoid talking about Real Life, a subject that seems to have become increasingly remote and painful to talk about, relatively speaking.

I don't know that this will improve in the near future, but I will try to look a bit past the blinders that have grown up around my eyes.

* * *Natalie and I ate at the Outback near the AMC-30 complex near the intersection of Beltway 8 and I-45. After dinner, we went over to the theater and got tickets to see the new Lara Croft epic.

Angelina Jolie is certainly easy enough on the eyes, but the film seemed schizophrenic in the haphazard way the story developed. I eventually got the idea that I was watching a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but without Nazis and with less attention on the part of the filmmakers to having plot points make sense.

Ah, well... there's always Seabiscuit.

* * *I am going to keep a very close eye on the VAIO. I seem to recall, earlier in the day, perceiving the smell of hot electronics during the sim. I suspect it was my laptop. And dust may not be the culprit... it may be the ants that are not all that uncommon at the Pearland house (I suspect them in the demise of my keyboard, too).

Time to get ready to sleep. I'm due at the A/G position tomorrow at 8 am.

Cheers...
