RE: What's everyone up to right now?

Got my band gear packed up for a gig tomorrow afternoon -- If you happen to be in the town of Victoria Beach, Manitoba at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon, head down to the village green where the bandstand is. Packed my Tilley hat, insect repellent, SPF60 sunscreen and a refillable water bottle, because the forecast for tomorrow is "bloody hot."
As a belated birthday present to myself I sprang for a $15 Google Play gift card. Now I can run apps on my tablet computer without ads popping up every five minutes.
Once it cooled off this evening, I got a watering can out of the garage and made the rounds of the garden, because we haven't had rain here for a while.
My objective for the rest of the evening is to take it easy and try very hard not to bash my toes on anything when wandering around the house. (Currently I have two sore toes on my right foot, from tripping over the baseboard near a doorway and then smacking my foot against the lower oven drawer when foraging in the kitchen last night.)

Laying down trying to get my mind to settle down.

I just shaved off my goatee and moustache.
I'll have to start carrying around ID again.

I should shave because my facial hair look like pubes... But I'm way too lazy to do that and besides, my girlfriend is away so I don't care. Blah.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Have to get a new inner rear view mirror in a few hours. Just broke mine off right before going to my parents to collect old stuff of mine.

Up earlier than I need to be. I've got 2 1/2 hours before I need to be up. Not sure if I should just stay up, or go lie awake in bed for those two and a half hours.
Flipping through things on my desk. Finally found a translation of the Tao Te Ching I'm satisfied with. One task done, on to the next.
(Oh crap, they don't have a kindle edition. But it's available as a Barnes & Noble EPUB eBook! Yay for competition!)

Yay for new stuff!
Just got up from a nap. Eagerly looking forward to the first Minnesota preseason football game later tonight.

Getting ready to crash after a dull day. Looking forward to rib fest tomorrow.
