This nearly concludes a week during which I got such an amazingly small amount of nothing accomplished, that I have astounded even myself with the lengths of my own lethargy. It's like I just don't care anymore. Almost to the degree that I feel incapable of caring. Trying to force myself to care doesn't doesn't help either.

About anything. I feel a tune coming on...

Anyhow...

I actually thought about going clubbing tonight, but... didn't. It's not even so much due to lack of funds, because at the moment, I do have a few bucks gained from various endeavors. But I was just thinking about it earlier, and the only thing I could come up with was, "What's the point? Why bother?"

So, here I am, doing nothing.

Ok, so I'm actually cooking spaghetti right at this moment. It's one of the few items the Castle Lair still has in supply. I'm actually trying to use up the food right now, and avoiding buying groceries, because I want it to be as empty as possible for moving out. Less stuff to worry about that way.

My mom is crazy, in a very nice sort of way. Last week, she actually brought over a bunch of groceries! I guess she didn't want me to starve or something. sigh.

Life beyond next week....

I'm thinking that with regard to the parental housing situation, I'll likely pursue a strategy suggested to me by $mentor[0]: Set up a small but discrete camp at the residence of both parental units. Some nights, sleep at one place, other nights, the other, and occassionally, disappear completely from both. Never make it quite clear where I'll be, and be unpredictable about it.

The goal in this, of course, is to maintain some degree of autonomy, and avoid awkward questions, like, "Where were you last Friday night until after midnight?" etc etc etc.

It's a sketchy strategy, but it just might have some benifit. We'll see.

I've also got this really nutty idea: After all my stuff has been moved into its temporary lodging facilities, but before I resume my job search (which has pretty much dwindled into nothing lately), take an epic road trip next month. Visit my friends in various parts of the country, possibly journeying as far east as Tennessee, also making stops in Lincoln Nebraska, and possibly San Antonio. Maybe other areas, too, if I can think of any.

As well as getting some fresh air and catching up with friends, I could check out the job possibilities in various locales. If I'm lucky, maybe I could find some work, and settle in a different area for a while. If not, no biggie. The trip would still be worth it, and I could return to Colorado ready to hit everything that even looks like it might be a lead, even if the only thing that exists are deadends. (No, no cynicism here.)

It's a thought, anyway.

But for now.... for now... for now....

Migrate Bitscape's Lounge over to the buildmeasite Cobalt. Copy all my files on Argo over to Dagobah. Move all my furniture over to my dad's place. (Some of it will likely be re-transported to my mom's a bit later.) Attend a historic premiere. Publish at least something about the wedding, since I managed to skip last week. Do more nothing.

Sounds like a weekend plan. Here's to it.
