I haven’t written much in the past few days. I haven’t made the time to write, and I have been sick from the smokey air. I did get some great sunset photos on Sunday though.

Here are more silly quiz results:

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to obedience and warmth.In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you’re told that you’re loved. You’d like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage something you’ve always wanted… though you haven’t really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You’re feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

The smoky haze here is beginning to get to me. It’s quite thick. This morning the house smells stronger than yesterday. It’ stoo warm here not to have the windows open at least part of the day and overnight to cool off the house. I’m having trouble breathing with all the smoke.

Until I did some reading, I didn’t understand the lightning storms. Of course lightning can cause fires. I just couldn’t imagine how you can have lightning and no thunderstorms. It’s possible to have dry thunderstorms–yes–thunderstorms with no rain. Here’s a little more description.

Yesterday my mother asked when we would get rain to put out the fires. I laughed. We will see rain around November.

I woke up this morning to read the news and saw that George Carlin died on Sunday. I don’t know any other comedian who gave such a biting social commentary.

Ever since my son bought RockBand (at my urging), I have been occupied. He and I don’t usually play vdieo games together. RockBand is different. We spent five hours playing on Tuesday when we got it, and another two hours on Wednesday. He was never fond of GuitarHero, although at this point I’m hoping that the drums, guitar and mic will work when GuitarHero World Tour comes out. The only drawback to RockBand is the music. We have downloaded (bought) other songs that we like better. I’m hoping that they come out with more music. It’s from MTV and EA. I don’t expect it would be that big of a deal to expand the game. It does have online play, but we’re too chicken…

I have learned that I play left-handed guitar. I’m completely worthless playing right-handed.

The heavy cloud cover on Friday night prevented getting that sunset shot over the ocean. The next day the sun came out around noon, so I have some interesting photos. It’s too bad we didn’t stay longer…

I think the goal of blogging every day is gone. I missed 5 days while my computer was down, and now with my son here, I’m missing more days. He has his ACT this Saturday, and we have to go out of town for him to take it. Hard to believe that there were no seats locally. That’s what happens when you postpone signing up for weeks and weeks. He didn’t see the importance in signing up right away. But it will give me a chance to spend some time taking photos in a new area. I have to catch some sunset photos on the ocean. I’ll be posting the photos when I get back.

Hmm…

You Belong in Los Angeles

Now, if I want to cure cancer, enjoy looking at the ocean and not getting in it and stick to being bookish…

You Belong in San Francisco

You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You’re half California, half NYC. You’re open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you’re the best. People may dismiss you as a hippie, but you’re also progressive, interesting, and rich!

I wouldn’t bank my future on one of these quizzes, but it makes me wonder if I took a wrong turn somewhere. Still, I love science, especially chemistry. And, I love artistic type things, like writing and photography.

What’s Your Ideal Career?

I guess that’s one way to look at it. My son is finally here, but I’m not ready for another person’s mess. He’s a bit of a slob. I don’t mind the mess when it stays in one room (his), but I do mind when the mess covers the entire house. Apparently, cleanliness isn’t that important at his dad’s house, so he doesn’t have a neatness habit.

Two of my cats have begun their summer hibernation. They don’t like strangers, so they hide under the bed or in a closet all day long for the entire time my son is here. They hide like that anytime someone is here.
