Make My Joy Complete

it rained this morning. the window in my bedroom faces a courtyard, and it never looks like it is raining in there. when i walked out the door, said my "good day" to gazmir, and saw it was steadily dripping out, i made the decision to go back for the umbrella, but was running too late to fuss with putting on my galoshes. please rain tomorrow in my courtyard at 9:00am so i can wear them...

i have been getting into politics lately. i need to pull myself away from CNN, and remember that there will be NINE more months of election news, and I cannot get addicted yet. and the funny thing is, i don't even enjoy the dirty political mudslinging, the living soap operas of our country.

you may get a kick out of this: i went to barnes and noble on sunday after church, and perused through the graphics section. actually, i ran into susan, which was crazy. anyways, after all that browsing and determination to become informed and inspired, i pulled my own book out of my bag, and read that, right there on the floor in the store.

i was thinking today of this new game concept: conglamerate, nyc edition! you would be able to play this game anywhere in the city, beginning at a chase, duane reade, or starbucks. you would stand outside the entrance to one of these businesses, and then, from sight, need to "connect" yourself to another one of these stores, and so on. there would be a point scale system, with more difficult areas like the boroughs, being worth more points, and the use of chase atms as lower point worth. the winner is the person who can go the furthest amount of blocks with the most amount of points.
