Cat-like Sunday

Ever watched a cat just... being a cat?

I'm sometimes meditative, and it's occured to me before that being a cat -- you know, one with a loving owner -- might just be about the best life possible. They lay around just whenever and wherever they want to, then when the notion hits them they'll up and explore every nook and cranny of their environment. They play when they feel like playing, and they play hard. Then they'll just plop down on your head and take a nap. They might ignore a Mac truck coming toward them because they're too busy playing with a particularly frisky dust mite.

Anyway, I got to experience that existence yestrday! And I LIKED it!

I mean, don't get me wrong: Structure is groovy. One of the things I like about shooting films is that constant hectic motion, that controled (barely-controled) chaos, that on-the-fly trouble-shooting!

But yesterday ways a great alternative...

Wake up, stumble to the living room and watch whatever Brian has going. Then, when I'm a bit more conscious, go back into the bedroom and play Tomb Raider: The Golden Mask for an hour or more.

Then I get hungry so I cook. I had plenty of time to experiement, so I did: I made some shrimp scampy, which always had an excess of that garlic butter suace, so then I seasoned half the spaghetti with that, and then just made regular spaghetti sause and some meatballs for the other half of the spaghetti.

DELICIOSO!!! I SO recomended it to ANYONE!!!

I think you need the red sauce, too, though. The garlic-butter spaghetti is a bit subtle for most pallets. But as a contrast to the sweet tang of tomato sauce, GENIUS!

I put on PSYCHO II while I was cooking, so I watched that as I ate, and then finished that up.

Then I was in the mood for some more Tomb Raider, but my computer wasn't cooperating, so I decided to read some of the SERENITY screenplay, then just laid there drifting in and out of conciousness for a while.

Got up, did the dishes from breakfast/lunch.

Then I watched DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW -- which still rocks!!! This ia a made-for-TV horror movie from 1981, and it's better than 90% of the horror flciks made in the 90s!!! Plus, it has a lot of faces that I recognized elsewhere and I'd ask myself "Why does he look familiar?" I had seen them HERE!

Then I burned a couple of discs; Stephen King short stories I had as mp3s that I want to be able to fall asleep to this month.

Talked on the phone to 2 of the hottest hotties I've ever known.

Re-read the Jerry Seinfeld Halloween children's book based on his comedy routine about trick-or-treat-ing.

Very lazy, spontaneous, reinvigorating cat-like Sunday!!!
