Rude awakenings

Saturday morning I was slow to get out of bed (despite my mind's searching for the Zen passage which I will include soon). I am now reading A Prayer for Owen Meany. It makes me think a lot about religion. I am still unsure if the rabbinate is the path for me. But I am sure that I need to travel to Israel before I make a decision such as that.

Anyways in my slow morning I was on the computer when a quick moving, many-large-legged bug came scurrying across the curtain in my direction. Well I lost it. I took a picture first (to prove I was not being a sissy about nothing). Then it took my a lot of havoc to finally got rid of it. At one point in trying to move it about it fell to the ground which caused me to jump back, knock over my tv and a break a huge pane of glass (thank heavens not the tv). I am still cleaning that glass. After my nerves settled a little, it finally occurred to me to treat it as I do most bugs, and got a large tupperware, corralled it, and sent it out my window, though in my opinion it was not far enough. If I see another one I will move out until they do something about it.

I'm getting really psyched about my families impending visit.

I don't know how to treat this blog, but I enjoy it.

http://deoxy.org/koan/22 - that's the Zen passage that I took to heart and thought of lately.

I rearranged my room again. I'm realizing that while I like my new location for the computer, the ergonomics is killing my right wrist, hmmm.
