Non-inspirational Life

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything. Sometimes I feel like writing but don’t have the opportunity to do so. When I do have the opportunity, like now, I just can’t think of anything to write any more. It’s the thing, probably, since I have a toddler now, and not much chance to be on the computer at all, since the toddler is very busy and into anything I’m doing, and with a “newer” laptop I am not wanting him to ruin it, and if I’m using the old laptop he’s pulling on it and it was just “fixed” with a new screen not long ago, and it’s just a pain to do anything “personal” with a toddling baby again.

Seemingly long ago I had my first laptop, and I didn’t have a little baby then, my babies were all a bit over toddler stage. Then years went by and I had a baby again. My first laptops suffered from little children antics, but then things were fine for the next few years. That last laptop had some self-problems and with a nice warranty from Best Buy was mostly fixed up, but we got me a nicer laptop meanwhile, since that one was 2 years old and a bit behind the times 😉 and I wanted something smaller with bigger innerds as well.

So I sit here on my bed with the children all downstairs fooling around, and I have the time to write something. So this is it.

It’s nearly the end of 2008, and I’ve felt rather bad about how I’ve treated my websites, blogs, photos, this year. I’ve wanted to do more, but haven’t been inspired to do so, and with little alone time, that non-inspiration has just flourished.

My dear baby loves me more than anything and is so very attached to me, unlike how any of the previous lilttle ones were. They each were different from one another, but this baby now is so very different, so very lovey and close and I’m enjoying that, but then having so very little me with music, books, computer, etc.

The good thing with my baby is that he does like music though. He dances and loves to hear music, loves watching me play guitar hero, and listens to music in general, when I play the radio or CD’s or digitalized (mp3 player or computer) music.

So there is where my “time” has gone, my “creative time” my “personal time” — to my baby, and guitar hero and music listening.

I’ve had TV shows that I’ve liked and then found that they’d been cancelled, like The 4400 and Moonlight, the most resent that bothered me. I have new ones that I really like now, and worry partially that THEY will be cut off in their Prime as well, The Mentalist, In Plain Sight, for my favorites … and there are a few other shows that I like now too, but the above are the new faves I have, and favorite above others.

I wish those other two that were cancelled would be picked up and started again somewhere, but oh well. Stuff like that over the years, shows with good stories and characters that you follow cut down before their time, before the story goes far enough … it happens and will happen again and again. I just hope, right now, that it won’t be my favorites anytime soon.

I nearly hesitate to even write about it, but I am. I was happy about Moonlight returning before and had a post about it … and it came back shortly, then !!!Capluy!!!!!

We got a new TV last week. Costco had a Vizio 42″ on sale, we were not planning on getting one, but ended up doing so. We have talked about a new TV for a while, and had decided to get something bigger in January or February at the earliest, a Sony 46″ or bigger, 120mhz. That is costly. We had an Emprex 32″ that developed a vertical double line on the right third of the screen, and we had an old tube TV that stopped working a couple of months ago. We have two DirecTivo DVR’s and only one was being used, but both in “service” (monthly charges for service) and so we saw the TV on sale, a way lesser model than we wanted, but better than our Emprex and well within reason price wise, not settling, but giving us a better thing for our family area, and now we have that older Emprex in our bedroom again (it was there a long while ago for a bit) I am a “no TV in the bedroom” person, but have given into it here and there, and don’t mind it as much sometimes, like in the wintertime, or now as well, when I have less chance for “personal time” and can get some personal tv time at least, in the bedroom, here and there.

So then with that happening just this past week, I finally had the chance to see something I’d wanted to on FLN, “Whatever Martha”. I watched 2 recorded episodes last night, and laughed my head off. It’s adult stuff, not everyone’s style, but it hit my laugh meter spot on. That felt good. The first time in a long time. My husband was laughing too, but he “said” it was because I was laughing, he was laughing at ME finding ME funny because I was laughing at the show, not that he thought the show was funny or anything really. I don’t know that I believe that … but whatever …

Seems rather stange, to me, it’s TV that has finally been an inspiration for me to write something in this post. I must stop writing and publish, since my baby is now running all over the bed and well, that’s the end of my ‘personal time’ !

Oh, the other thing about the Vizio is that we got a cheap ($14.99 Best Buy) Component cable for the Wii System and hooked that up and WOW! It was way better than the RCA connections the Wii System comes with. Too bad Wii didn’t go for HD with their first model. Sucks actually, but at least the component cables make it look better.
