Odd how time passes. If you pay attention, it slows. If you are happily engaged in some activity, it flies. If you are unhappily engaged, it drags with the weight of a crocheted comforter on your shoulders. I don't know why I like the weight similes, that is just how I feel about such things.
Yesterday and today I've paid attention to time. The idea is that at 2pm I shall either be done with practicing or start it. You see, I often procrastinate until the evening to do things, and this is generally an unproductive practice. My best time of day is the morning and early afternoon, so doing stuff then is common sense.
Funny is what I wish to be, sometimes. It took me quite a while to realize that I have to work hard to tell a joke convincingly. I've never been an idea person, or an extremely quick talker, so that humor is beyond me. However, I've been told that I am entertaining, and this is a quality I've worked to create. My wry remarks, and unusual connections in conversation are my fortes. I also get laughed at by Mother for some of my serious statements. It makes me long for someone with slightly more self-control, or at least the ability to tell me why it was funny. No-one else does that, so perhaps Mom just has a unique sense of humor.
I went to see the Incredible Hulk Saturday. It was more entertaining than I had hoped it to be. I read the book version in Vienna, so I already understood the basic plot and, very gratifyingly, what the characters were thinking. If I hadn't, I feel that I would have disliked the movie due to insufficient explanation of character motivation. Just know this, it's a movie about a man that becomes a angry green giant when he is provoked, realism is not expected or required.
In any case, having discussed my past three weeks this morning, may I say thank God for saving a blog when I have to go eat now.
Bye bye
