OK, I feel lots better today. Maybe I just needed a good salmon pasta and a cool night’s rest, because I got both. Thanks, Hurricane Ike, for blowing in some actual autumn-esque weather! I wasn’t sweating when I woke up, and I even wore some light boots yesterday. And, as you know, boots make me very happy.

Just to clarify, I don’t have any plans to shutter this blog. As you know, I’ve been pondering the changing nature of it for some time, and those three posts yesterday struck me with how EXACTLY they verbalized what I was thinking. Maybe I should also just admit that my crazy party single days are now over, and while I once could regale you with letters from Drinking With Spectacular Abandon and stories from the Sleeping-With-My-23-year-Old-Upstairs-Neighbor-File, those sorts of stories just aren’t going to happen anymore.

I guess it really just boils down to the fact that yesterday I was feeling mighty old and boring.

I think I’ll color my hair again. It’s time. This natural blonde looks has grown tiresome. Plus, David has three blondes now, which is just way too many. NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE THREE BLONDES TO HIMSELF.

So we’ve made a big decision. I think we’re going to buy a television. I know! Crazy. We’ll get something that is flat and decent for watching movies and playing video games. We won’t get digital satellite or cable or whatever it is these days that produces a million channels. Just something unobtrusive, and something we can plug a laptop into, so we can have a HUGE GIANT MONITOR. Though that doesn’t exactly make it sound UNOBTRUSIVE.

Speaking of television, I see that this new show Mad Men is all the rage. David and I saw the commercials when we were in the hotel in San Francisco, and I have to say I was left soundly uninterested and unimpressed. Is it really that good? Just looked like a highly stylized portrayal of late-1950s sexual harassment, which frankly I’m not so interested in. But then again, I’d rather watch comedy anyday.

Mind you, I’d love it if we still all dressed like the Mad Men cast. Sometimes, anyway. They looked pretty smoking on the commercials.
