I'm A Winner!

Well.

Absences happen.

I'm beginning to get a little cabin feverish. I try to go outside and accomplish some task each day (on top of the constant, constant job applications) just so I don't get squirrelly, and so that I have an excuse to shower, but it hasn't stopped me from going a little funny. For example, as I told some friends, I recently had a weird dream. I was watching a play of some kind, a very serious kind, because there was no set but a black curtain and two chairs. It was about Robert Kennedy and Teddy Kennedy having a fight after the assassination of JFK.

Who portrayed the brothers? Veterans of stage and scene? Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt hoping to get some stage cred? No, it was two soccer players. Two shirtless, shirtless soccer players.

I won a contest! Go me!

So maybe the next step is to start watching less World Cup action. Fortunately, I got something in the mail the other day to help me out with that: A free book! And not just any free book, but a young adult novel courtesy of YA Bookshelf. So now I'll just curl up with this one and remember a blissful childhood spent with Catherine, Called Birdy and Half Magic, but sadly also a childhood free from super fit athletes.
