happily confused

i don't understand this - but i'm totally blogging from home right now. last sunday evening, my phone line went completely dead. with that, i lost my dsl connection. all week my modem has been trying to get a dsl connection to no avail. tonight? tonight i'm shutting down my computer to go watch 'donnie darko' on my laptop, and i realize the modem has a steady dsl light. so, of course, i restart my machine to test it. and, sure enough, i've got an internet connection. what?

as a side note, my cordless phone still reads "no line" on the display.

my space bar is very clicky tonight.

would you believe me if i said i started my Christmas cards tonight?

we did, indeed, crack open Killer Bunnies last night. once we got the hang of it, we enjoyed it a lot. definitely a good game to have around. now i just need to round up some folks to play with me. who wouldn't want to play a game where you're trying to kill off the other players' bunnies as they're trying to kill off yours?

after every sentence i'm looking at my modem, fulling expecting it to realize it's currently performing a magic act.

i think i need to take down my Christmas decorations. i swapped my dishes for the winter colors. i'll share a photo of that soon. actually, i've got several sets of photos i can share once i download them to the computer.

so in my internet-less week, i started going through my photos from this year and picking my favorites. one of my goals was to take 2900 photos, and it was suggested that i pick my 29 favorites of those. i started the process, and i'm thinking it's going to get tricky. do i pick the 29 that are the best photographs in terms of style, composition and execution? or do i end up with some that are favorites because of sentimental value and their marking the passage of time?

i also got my 2009 calendar bound & hung. and it's only the third day of january - go me! :)

i also did some work on my list for next year. i've thought about not publishing the list, but rather revealing it as things are accomplished. i've also thought about not sharing it at all until the end. but we'll see. i don't have all thirty goals hammered out, yet, but a few are definite. in fact, this evening i spent a couple of hours working on one of them.

i wonder if i should finish accomplishing my 29 list before working on my 30 list? :)

You probably should finish 29 before starting 30... but shoulds will kill you every time.

May i resubmit my vote that you please please please publish your birthday list? i'm sure i don't really get a vote, but for the fun of it. i have to try. :-)
