Time delays.Yes, I've been offline for a while. I was being distracted by life, the universe and EVERYTHING. Sometimes your whole world can change in a very short period of time, and it takes a bit to reorganize.
Gene Simmons.
Why is this guy everywhere I look all of a sudden? And more importantly, why am I starting to watch it? Ok, so I must admit, I'm not a fan of KISS. I don't dislike them, I just don't particularly LIKE them. It's cool they do what they do, good for them - but KISS has never graced my CD or cassette collections. (Yes, I said cassettes - remember them?) That being said, I, of course, know who Gene Simmons is, and can recognize him with or without makeup. I am aware of his Gene Simmons Family Jewels show, but have never seen an episode. (Strangely enough, I've recently learned that my dad likes to watch that show.) The other night, the "Roast of Gene Simmons" was on and somehow, my TV got stuck on that channel and I ended up watching the whole thing. Yesterday, I watched my first (and hopefully only) episode of "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" because he was on it. I was surprised to find out he had been a teacher at one point, and speaks a number of different languages. Surprised because, to be honest, I thought he was probably not the smartest guy on the planet. Turns out I was wrong and here I am admitting it. Good for you Gene, you're not a moron in makeup!
Oh yea, WINTER.It snowed a bit today, reminding me that winter is about to pounce on us. Hopefully this winter doesn't seem as long as last winter. Last winter was too cold and too snowy for too long. Now that I have more distractions in my life than I did last year - that might make it go by quicker. As I was packing up all (well not ALL, there is still a ghost in the tree out front) the Halloween decorations, I realized that suddenly xmas will be upon us. While I do like seeing friends and family over the holidays, I'm not much of a xmas person. I don't have an xmas tree, yes it's Xmas to me, I don't listen to holiday music, I don't watch endless reruns of horrible holiday movies and I sure as hell don't have a special outfit OR anything dressy for all these holiday events I attend. (I do NOT wear dresses unless I'm in a wedding FYI. Skirts = no.) I participate in gift giving because the gifts I do give out are usually for people I like giving gifts to. Anyways, taking down the halloween decorations and being reminded about xmas got me to thinking about stupid holiday decorations. I don't really decorate much - though last year we did plug in some rope lights and toss them around the one tree out front. I like the holiday lights on houses for some reason. So this year we'll do that I'm sure, but other than that, I don't have much in the way of winter decor. I have a glass snowflake I put up in a window - how fancy is that? But yea, I don't have much else. Maybe this year I'll find some wintery stuff to put around the house so I don't get SO bored of the inside of my house that I go crazy (again). Lame, I know, but that's how it goes sometimes.
