dog stares

the irony may be that happiness, in his constantly needy staring-for-attention way, will be the impetus for me to get out more... feed me, walk me, play with me, ah, if only life was so simple... but my luck is i'd be a dog with the same personality i have now (oh, there's a metaphysical discussion for another time, are personalities nature or nurture) and run away from the confines of home, safe and loving as they may be... perhaps it would be different with a dog's brain, but... freedom is not just another word for me...

anyway, wrapping the dang ankle and putting on the sneakers is a pain (yeah, i never liked laces, one of my little lazy quirks... of course being forced to put on a laced brace and sneakers a few times a day would keep the belly from growing i suppose... amazing that i have not gained any weight after four months without running and now two months of no working... amazing how sedentary one gets when not working and trying to maintain a zero budget... thank goodness for the distraction of dog stares, aye?)...

jackson is out for dinner and movie with a friend... we've had these free passes to the movies on the fridge for over a year now and i keep forgetting... that would have fit into a zero budget nicely come to think of it, but i forgot all about the tickets... come to think of it, i think they were hers in the first place and she got them before she moved out of town... yeah, guess they've been on the fridge more than a year... oh well, another night home to save gas... last night fridges were at a local bar-food-games place but i decided to not give into temptation (zero budget) and tonight something else is happening... tomorrow night a friend is having a big party at her pool clubhouse, i'll probably go to that...

sound bored, don't i?... whatchu up to? :)
