Motivation to do something

I am a slug; I could ask myself how much I can learn about alternate heating methods before 8:45 tomorrow morning, but I will come around to telling myself I will learn more if I go into it “cold” – hahahahahahahhahahahaha. I will miss what they are telling me because I am so intent on affirming what I think I already know – hahhhhhaaaaahahaahaaa. I’m a quick study – more hahaha-ing. And so forth.

This is not working; I thought I could reverse psychology myself into wanting to research the topic. Sort of a STAND BACK FOLKS AND WATCH THE AMAZING AMOEBA ABSORB perform. I’d have a cape and maybe a letter on the chest of my suit. But it’s not working.

I don’t want to do this – period. Well, actually, I will like it when I’m there – climbing over construction and talking to the high school workers. Ah, what should I wear so I don’t look like a dumpy old grandma? See, my mind isn’t on the subject.

My L.L.Bean boots, jeans, my adapted camper/hiker safari Banana Republic vest for my gear . . . and my barn coat? Oh, what shirt? Red is my best color, but how about the burnt orange/blue plaid one?

This is ridiculous; have I caught myself trying to re-invent said self? Lot of question marks here; that’s because I want to have a party and everyone here is either sick or gloomy; I could watch Atonement again – that would dampen my SNL mood. Oh, yes, let’s all make our way through this non-linear plot only to hear Vanessa Redgrave announce a sort of never mind.

Okay, geo-thermal heating – maybe I will google you.

I live in rain

You are aware of the snow globes that make such lovely winter scenes. I think I  live in a rain globe – as if someone put me in a recycling fountain and put a ball of glass around me and my fountain. Probably there is a wooden base down there, maybe with a little wind up switch that sets some song playing.

I just looked on itunes and a search for “rain” yields the full 150 choices; as does  one for “raindrop”  – and both have some selections marked “explicit” in red. I don’t want to know anything about this. No red stuff – no.

Ah, but wait, all is not lost – I see itunes thinks I may have erred in my spelling – they are listing under the artist category a group called “Reindeer Section” . . .  Unfortunately, I could not leave it with those three dots; I clicked on the group which is Alternative and found the album, “Y’all Get Scared Now, Ya Hear” from 2001. And, they also have a follow-up album – “Son of Evil Reindeer.”

They are a Scottish group and YES, one of their songs is “Raindrop” so I guess I see the itunes logic. No, they aren’t a Scottish group; they are a group of musicians from Scottish groups. I wish I could copy the album review here, but maybe I’ve gone far enough – or too far already.

I know; I’ll have my rain globe play “You Are My Sunshine.”
