I had the most strange and delightful dream last night. I had just purchased a new home theater system - it was no bigger than a coffee table book, and it had two little speakers, each the size of a CD jewel case. It was very chromey and awesome looking.
The whole rest of the dream was about trying to keep from losing or letting other people damage this cool new toy, plus weird additions showing up to the house, my mom being present, etc.
This morning, I walked around the block (which is nearly a mile) and came across six discarded soda cans, and four discarded plastic bottles. I picked them all up, to assuage my feelings of guilt on behalf of my fellow man.
I'm finding that written to-do lists are becoming more and more important.
It's very interesting - I watched some Hulu last night, and saw a Daily Show piece in which Jon Steward interviewed a man with a computer modeling program that has been right about what was developing nearly 100% of the time, and 100% of the time better than the CIA projected.
He said in his mind, and based on his projections, things are actually headed in a pretty good direction - peace in the Middle East, health care resolution in the US, movement on climate change, people behaving themselves in general.
Something for everyone to pray for.

I'm just gonna rant on a while here -
On people who hate taxes -
Why is it that so many people who hate taxes and feel that "they pay too much" actually pay nothing at all?
On people who don't want changes to health care -
Why is it that so many people who are so jacked up about health care have no health care themselves except "don't get sick, and if you do, die fast"?
On people who don't want gay marriage -
Why are you willing to welcome insta-marriages between opposite sex couples who have just met, or divorce, or ... just how is your marriage threatened by anything from outside of that marriage?
On people who believe that other nations pose a threat to us -
How? How are they a threat? Please don't share with me fanciful speculation, tell me just how they are a threat.
On people who believe that their state should secede from the Union -
If it wasn't acceptable for the South to secede in 1860 when Lincoln, who was against slavery but came to office without a mandate to end slavery, why would it be acceptable now when Obama, who had a far greater voter mandate came to office not proposing (and actually not changing) much of anything?

Should I or shouldn't I?
The hardwood floor in the kitchen mocks me. It lies there, silently, knowing that it's dirty and sticky and that it's thereby driving me crazy.
Earlier, the countertop, the trash, the bathroom, and the dishes all cooperated nicely. Although there were a few overpour incidents, they all cooperated with the clean-up.
And yet, the kitchen floor continues to mock.
It knows full well that I am very careful with splatters, spills, footfalls, and such.
Still, it's sticky. It's dirty in that subversive, non-visible way. It mocks me.
I could get out the pail, fill it with warm water and a smidge of detergent and then clean it, following with the Orange 3 in 1 treatment that adds a hint of shine.
Should I or shouldn't I?
I probably will, whether I should or not.
