the lives of other people...

it's going to be a weird blog...i can't seem to think straight. my sister called me a couple hours ago to tell me that our father was at St. Joe's and probably would be there overnight for observation. it may not be anything major, but it still worries me.

i know that i couldn't have been there since it happened while i was out. i guess some guilt hangs over me because the last time my dad went to the hospital for stroke-like symptoms was when i was in Bolivia...about 21 months ago. it really stunned me when i got back and susie told me what had happened. i was kinda peeved that i didn't know anything about it...but it may not have mattered because when it happened, i was nowhere near electricity for a week anyway. things like that make you feel so helpless... you just want things to be quiet and even utopian for a long while.

he's going to be okay though. i'll probably have to go pick him up tomorrow and will get more details...

and now that i've shaken a little gloom off...

it's time for the 2AM blog circle update...

...Denny is running on fumes by now, but happy as hell that school will be out this friday.
...Laura is sending out some energy that makes other men want to tell her about their strained sex lives...velly inte-res-ting. what show is that from? and who played that character?
...Diana is going to receive a tape in the mail from me...it will contain a constant loop of "You Are My Sunshine"...sung by Roseanne and Celine Dion ;) feel the pain! you will LONG for your mother's version!
...Danelle is taking surreptitious pics of baby birds waiting desperately for their momma...and turning her attention to Colorado sunsets.
...Katie is spraying her bed with pincherbug-be-gone. must be all that Tokyo Joe's that she's eatin'.
...Rachel is packing for some RnR in Baton Rouge. send me a postcard! Spencer Wong, 436 S. Ivy St. Denver, CO 80224! even if i don't go anywhere soon, i have lots of postcards from Denver, San Francisco, Wash DC, Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru (i may have a couple from Belize too) with which i could reciprocate :)
...Derbs is wisely putting off work by inundating her blog with assorted quizzes. something i missed and sorely need to check out. btw, how is the rotten egg stuff? i can empathize...i've got two crazy funny stories about that. if you want me to relate them, email me: chinobalam@aol.com i was thinking about putting them on my blog, but i run such a clean shift here ;) besides, i can't afford to lose the ten readers i have built up for this already garrulous daily blog...heh
...Mary is busily gearing up for her blogathon on the 26th. can any of you spare $5 for her cause? proceeds go towards the Denver Dumb Friends League. Moose is one cute hunka-slurpin' love...way nicer than the psycho dogs that live next door to Laura & Denny.
...Cindi is looking for the cheapest accomodations in New Haven, CT. have you looked at the EconoLodge in West Haven? for that weekend, rates are as follows:
$49.50/night for a king sized bed...$54.00/night for 2 queens ($50 if you use your gov't ID)...and $63.00/night for a king with a whirlpool tub. note that this motel is 10 miles away from the Tweed/New Haven Airport and 5 miles from New Haven proper...are you renting a car? geez, i just checked and the car rates are horrifyingly high! good luck!

guess that wraps it up...until another sleepless night!
