We’d like to pause for station identification, and a word from one of our sponsors.
You’re viewing greyduck.net, broadcasting at T1-speeds from the wilds of Portland, Oregon.
Our visiting sponsor says: “Persnickity.”
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Blogathon day.
Okay, so now I’m bathed. And there’s goop in my hair to make it stand up the way I like. Of course, I’m not bothering to brush it or anything… I should look nice and dorky on the cam for Blogathon.
Yes, I said cam.
Scary, wot? What can I say, I have a weakness for opportunities to show off my goofy-looking mug.
Wendi has fed me breakfast, I’ve posted bunny pictures (though more will come, have no fear), and now I think I’m going to take a Very Quick Shower. Yeah, I feel kinda grungy. The hot spray on my sunburned bits should be invigorating, wouldn’t you say?
When I get back, I’ll commence with the… settling in for 22 more hours of this. Yeah, that’s my grand plan for the Blogathon. I think big, y’all.
Sometimes it’s as if nothing has changed.
Sometimes it’s a strain to see eye to eye.
Sometimes we just can’t communicate.
Sometimes the fact that there’s a divorce going on jumps up and bites us on the ass.
I’m not trying to “put you in your place.” I’m trying to gracefully move apart, trying to admit defeat and move on with my life. I cannot survive this if I cling desperately to what was. I feel like crap as it is.
I love you. But I’m not going to pretend that we’re not going on with our own, separate lives. If it looks or sounds like I’m pushing you away… I’m not pushing, but I am trying to keep you at arm’s length so I can keep my perspective. Doing otherwise would lead us down a path that can only ultimately bring even more pain. Yes, more than what we’re already feeling.
Perhaps this doesn’t help. Perhaps this doesn’t answer the question. I can’t do any more than I already am, though.
(BlueCalx moment: Hey, you should go visit greyduck.net right now. Yeah.)
I have an organized collection of music files here on my computer, but I don’t rip all of every CD I have for my listening pleasure. This means that I have a catch-all directory, and when I got done listening to some anime soundtrack selections I decided to queue up a few tracks out of “AllTheRest.”
A few. Okay, it totals three and a half hours of music, and it’ll give you an idea of the kinds of things I listen to:

Oh yeah. Someone loaned me Serial Experiments Lain, and I’m only six episodes in. That’ll give me something to do for at least some of these little half-hour breaks, won’t it?
What do you mean, you don’t think I’m ever going to get off my arse and do anything other than chat, websurf and check email? Well, I never!
I’m not that bad. Really. (Right?)
