The battle's almost won, cause we're only several miles from the sun
Make that only several million miles from the sun. Large distances in space are calculated using Astronomical Units (AU), and one AU is equal to the distance from the sun to the earth ... which is a cool 93 million miles.I'm dead tired and I'm CRANKY! I haven't been sleeping enough. Once upon a time I loved the night life (I loved to boogie, on the disco round, oh yeah) and now if I don't fall asleep by ten I'm a mess the next day. The lack of sleepage is entirely my fault; I keep staying up to watch crap that's rotting my brain past the point of no return. One thing I need to quit watching is My Super Sweet 16 on MTV. It's like passing a car wreck on the freeway or watching a gum chewing Britney Spears being interviewed - you want to turn away but a sick need propels you to keep watching. Watch this show and you will get validation for being a decent human being - seeing these bratty 15 year olds throw a fit when Daddy wants to buy a Mercedes instead of a Range Rover for their birthday present is pretty sickening.
Got a blast from the past and a shocking reminder of how much time has slipped by yesterday. Two good friends from high school band e-mailed me. Scarylibrarian fun fact number one: The Scarylibrarian once toted around an instrument and walked in time to the music on a field ... I can high mark time like you've never seen it done. Fun Fact two: once upon a time, this blog was titled was "Confessions of an Ex-Band Geek". Anyway, I hadn't heard or seen these girls since the 90s so it was really nice to talk to them. One of the girls got married to her high school sweetheart and had a baby on New Years day. That somehow has to be celestially significant. What's weird to me is that time doesn't seem to have passed that quickly, but it has been enough for people to get married and to have kids. Is time moving quickly, or am I moving to slowly?
