For the Sake of Blogging

My 200th post is pretty mundane.

I feel weird today, so I'm blogging just for the sake of blogging, because I have nothing else to do, and I haven't blogged in a while.

Penelope left around 9:30 this morning, and, after meditating, I had a long breakfast, then cleaned up the kitchen a little. I've been going through all of my belongings, and it was time to finally organize my kitchen closet, the one I've had for over a year now and only today did I even think about organizing it. The shelves are a little too deep, so each shelf is a flood of barely navigable piles. I helped that a little bit. It'll be nice for about 3 weeks, when I move away.

After a little more cleaning, I went over my notes after from my conversation with Carl yesterday, a conversation about programming and computer science. The notes were mainly references to books and websites, and I organized them, putting them in places I'll easily find them again.

Next I searched online for a new tenugui and a new mouse. I found good hits for both. I'll be ordering a set of three new tenuguis pretty soon, once I review my Paypal info. As for the mouse - I find it kind of urgent, and I might just stop by CVS and/or Radio Shack and get something tolerable. Should have done this shopping back before I destroyed the mouse that is now sitting in my garbage can, but oh well. Coulda, shoulda, didna.

Now I'm going running.

By the way, some current plans:
1. Move to Albuquerque.
2. Live in Albuquerque for as long as it takes to apply to grad school in Canada.
3. Live and study in Canada, until I'm satisfied with my higher education.
4. Become self-employed and move somewhere else in the world. I'm thinking Scandinavia. I say Iceland, Penelope (who is interested in leaving the U.S. also) says Finland. I think somewhere in the middle would be okay, too.
5. Success and happiness in a post-American world.

Pretty simple. Also:

1. Write a Pattern Language for study of the self and healing of the soul.
2. Create a series of video games I've planned.
3. Master the violin.
4. Maybe write fiction? Maybe this is the real thing I need to be doing?
5. Figure myself out.

I'm going running now. Happy labor day, all!
