John Wrangles an Insolent Mouse

Friday, cool as a breeze. The sky is a white cotton ball; rain is a ghost waiting to appear...but not yet. At the moment, there is no water falling.

And me? Well, I might go for some more coffee, with a little persuasion.

A week into October and it still feels like the faded edge of August. I like that. I enjoy Autumn, and Winter, too -- but I'm not ready for frigid air just yet...

I just poured myself a tall glass of water (the coffee is still waiting in the wings, like the rain). Outside, that breeze is getting fretful.

When I was a child, I remember going to a big greenhouse called, "Arcadia Gardens". They sold all kinds of plants and such, there. I can still vividly recall the scent and feel inside the greenhouse, itself. That loamy humid atmosphere, heavy and exotic at the same time.

The air around here feels like that today -- without the "exotic" undertone.

I just answered an email from Kelli. We are going to see Red Dragon tonight, down at the Waterfront, and I wanted to check what time would be good for her. I'm curious about the movie; it has a great cast (and I enjoyed Manhunter). It should be worth seeing.

My mouse is being insolent.

This computer has always been sluggish and prone to crashing. The mouse has likewise left much to be desired -- but now it has developed a cranky streak, moving the cursor haphazardly (or not at all). I'll have to fiddle with it later.

Ah, to be able to switch to an Apple G4 Titanium Powerbook...

Well, it's vivdly-bright now -- but that breeze has become a wind. There are probably some storms in store for this evening. Still, it is Friday, and the weekend is almost here.

Cool.
