Too Many Thoughts!
Jun. 25th, 2012 10:27 amBrain full, must dump.
First off, I am really enjoying rewatching this last season of Community. I am, through an incredible act of willpower, limiting myself to one episode a day, and when I queue up the selected episode I always think "Oh, this one's good" and then I watch it and it's even better. It reminds me of that time when I went camping with college friends and someone had The Best of Steely Dan on cassette and as each song started he'd say that this was a good one until someone else finally pointed out that it's the Best Of, they're all good! I'm seeing the theme a little better, I think, than I could get it watching as it aired, and that's illuminating the way the Community world has expanded over the three seasons - from being about individual journeys through more of a group experience and then really encompassing Greendale as a whole. Neat.
Yesterday when I was driving home from brunch, an accident had the interstate all stopped up so I took the back roads home and passed an RV for sale, for a price (if I read the sign right as I passed) that I could plunk down the cash for today. I am strongly tempted. I could park it in the part of my driveway that's behind the fence and slowly move into it in preparation for renting out the house or just driving away when I am eventually foreclosed upon...I don't know, I might go take a look. The cats would not like living on the road, but they might be able to adjust if there were enough room for them all to sprawl.
I am having philosophical problems, which just seems so silly. A whole lot of "how should I proceed" with whatever the current task is, or the day, or life in general. I can just keep asking that, I haven't settled on a default answer that will let me just get on with it already. Tiresome. I was momentarily intrigued by How Should a Person Be, thinking it might address similar concerns, but the excerpt I read seemed like not.
Maybe that will clear out enough disk space for normal operations to continue for a while.

I hope things get better.

Things are actually fine, I just have too much time to think :)

It's kind of liberating as a possibility, anyway, even if I don't do it.
