Aug. 11th, 2006 02:10 pmnot much work. house hunting. application put in for a place in mount hawthorne. playing chinese checkers and tag in the park with liz and kale. dinner with family and kale. too many webcomics at night.
this morning i've been trying to get up the enthusiasm for some work, and failing terribly. i have, however, been looking at teardrop trailers as a possible alternative to the hideous impracticality of living on a boat. i feel that building and living in one of these would give me just the right mix of:
a) eccentricity (building one's one dwelling when one lives in the developed world and has limited practical skills almost always involves a certain level of craziness. building something that relies on being towed when one has no driver's license gives added levels. perhaps I could make it towable-by-bicycle?)
b) practicality (with all the travel i'm doing, it makes sense to have a small space that i don't have to pay rent on in which to put all my stuff and keep as 'home')
c) impracticality (it's a trailer. the problems here are numerous.)
also, it would clearly be a brilliant project for my father and i to bond over.
and! my music seems to have held up solutions to yesterday's problem, with ms. dynamite and jaheim singing songs that must be okay, since ms. dynamite is a feminist and all.
