It's hot. too hot to think about going to bed yet, even though it's about that time. So I'm going to write an entry and hope it cools off while i'm writing. (I also ought to return that video I rented. pfft. be right back.)

There. Back. i've set up the fan in my bedroom and it's now whirring busily away.

anyway. So it looks like I'm going to the Midwest in September. Haven't heard back on plane tickets, but I now have the time off of work, and I'm confident that my dad (who has promised me these plane tickets because of the wedding that got cancelled last year about this time) will get me plane tickets. Because he's resourceful like that.

So, I'm going to go see my grandmother, who is ill like old people get when they're about done with life. She has lucid days and not-so-lucid days, and I can only hope that I'm there on one of the lucid days.

But outside of that, I get to see Ragged Robin (I hope!) and G, among others.

as for everything else--well, I've been productive this past week. Been doing well at work, and I finally secured the bannister to the wall in the stairwell, therby removing the last obstacle to actually painting the damn hallway. i know what colors i'm going to do it in, and all i need is a free weekend (a free Saturday, actually) to do it in. I'm thinking maybe early September or late august.

I've already picked out colors for the hallway, the bathroom and the kitchen. I like green in decorating. A *lot*. The bathroom is going to be a darkish sea green, the hallway is going to be an ice green (a tinted white, actually) with dark green trim, and the kitchen is probably going to be a dusty green, since I can't decide if I really want a blue kitchen or not.

i'm starting to think that maybe I need to paint the kitchen another color. Not yellow again, though. Maybe blue. or purple. that would be different, a purple kitchen...

with green trim!

I'm hopeless, i know.

It feels good to finally have my butt in gear on this, though. I feel like i'm finally accomplishing stuff, like i have the energy and the time to finally do things.

Of course, i don't have much of a social life right now...but that's suiting me just fine. I'm in kind of an unsocial phase right now; working instead of playing, feeding my own desires instead of other people's.

And that's just peachy.

okay, time to see if sleep is a possibility. if not, I'll play Starcraft some.

night!
