Location: home on the couch, my laptop on the coffee table.

Weather: evening, partly cloudy, 60°F and very pleasant.

Activity: AG forum, TV news is on but only for company, eating a simple dinner of honey baked ham, steamed broccoli, and fresh squeezed orange juice.

Apparel: white cotton t-shirt and grey cotton jersey shorts.

State of mind: tired but alert, reflective.

Mood: content, pleased, and a little proud from accepting a position offered me at the Natural History Museum of L.A. (I will quit the zoo in a couple weeks).

Thoughts: damn, I should have ordered something for dinner at the crêpes booth at the weekly farmer's market. I disembarked the train at my stop and all the vendors were packing up for the evening, but the crêpes booth was still open. Ah well, next week I'll do it.

Forget them. It's all about Anthony Bourdain. And if the moment were 10 pm on a Monday might, then at this moment you should be watching the Travel Channel for him.

Is it just me, or is Bourdain, like the very essence of piratyness?

Oh yeah,
Location: at desk in computer room

Weather: night, coldish, possibly raining lightly, has been rain and hail on-off all day

Activity: killing time, listening to music

Apparel: shirt coloured somewhere between yellow and gold, cheap, crappy, ill-fitting pinstripe trousers, because my decent ones are being dry cleaned

State of mind: excessively active

Mood: frustrated, slightly angry

Thoughts: shit, I wish I were just slightly less responsible so I could go out, get wasted, maybe go to a Western themed strip club some guy named Leroy (who had his hair and beard cut exactly like Mr T) recommended to me at about 5:30am last Sunday, despite having to work in the morning

Location: College room. Again.

Weather: Dry. Overcast, but not too gloomy.

Activity: Wasting some time between collections.

Apparel: See yesterday (though not exactly the same clothes).

State of Mind: A little too complacent. The paper that I just sat wasn't too bad, though I expect to foul up the one that starts in a little over an hour's time.

Mood: Anxiety mixed with relief. If that's possible.

Thoughts: Only another four-and-a-bit hours until I finish collections and can get back to playing CSI, Oblivion and Call of Cthulhu!

Location: College room (I sense a pattern here).

Weather: Dark, but clear. Loads of people have been outside until recently.

Activity: I was playing CSI: Dark Motives, but managed to break it. Will probably play some more Oblivion shortly.

Apparel: See my previous post. It's still the same day, and I don't feel the need to change just because it's the evening.

State of mind: Frustrated that I'm going to have to replay that case in CSI, and rather annoyed (for other reasons) despite the fact that collections are now over for me.

Mood: Bored/frustrated/slightly depressed.

Thoughts: Can I actually be bothered to do anything else this evening?

Location: home, on the couch with my laptop.

Weather: bright, sunny with some haze, 67°F/19°C

Activity: AG forum, online news, researching L.A. bus routes, sipping coffee.

Apparel: cotton t-shirt and cotton jersey shorts.

State of mind: expectant, not too full of thoughts.

Mood: relaxed, content, slightly excited for this evening, sad to be quitting my job at the zoo, but looking forward to starting my new job at the natural history museum.

Thoughts: looking forward to my dessert & coffee date this evening with a new friend, an intellectual scientist who works at CalTech and lives not far away. Heh heh, he's Greek and a consummate nerd but he and I both love art, culture, and stuff and it's possible he may have seen my brother Don around there 'cause Don (who is a physicist) used to work at JPL/CalTech. Small world, huh?

Location: My bedroom.

Weather: Dark, and I can't see the moon.

Activity: Just watched a movie, now listening to music from my favourite decade - the Eighties, and sipping Mr. Jack Daniel's fine Tennessee whiskey.

Apparel: My pyjamas.

State of mind: Tipsy. To quote something I heard on TV today - I'm not drunk, I'm colourful!

Mood: Bouncy.

Thoughts: Should I bother talking about the film I watched in the "recently seen" thread? What song shall I play next? I need a boyfriend.

Location: still at home, still in front of the computer. This section doesn't really work too well if you only have one computer, and it doesn't move.

Weather: Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night, it lights up... well, looks like a clear, dry day.

Activity: trying to do something productive. That's why I'm here on the AG forums. Ahem. I'm also taking advantage of my neighbour's absense by listening to some loud music.

Apparel: Exactly the same as yesterday!

State of mind: Expectant.

Mood: Reasonably happy, though tired.

Thoughts: I'm looking forward to going to London in a few hours. I should really be in bed, but I'm scared that if I fall asleep now, I won't wake up in time! I hope the train is comfy and quiet so I can get some rest there.
