It happens sometimes–something hits me early in the day that throws me off balance and derails everything I’m trying to do, so I can’t get started. It just happens that today was a rather bad day for it to happen. I had a half rehearsal for Collision this evening–Brittany can’t make it tomorrow, so rather than miss her rehearsing completely, I met with her tonight. However, I was so late finishing my morning study in Corinthans that I had to interrupt making supper and push that later to work with her, and then finish that after rehearsal (at least I had the sense to keep it shorter than the usual two hours-I have another rehearsal with Baxter and Adam tomorrow night). Then I had a flurry of MySpace friend requests because I happened to mention my MySpace account on a list as part of a question about something only loosely related–and you all know how much I hate the way MySpace sucks bandwidth and computer resources, and would rather avoid it because it takes forever to do so little as load a page. Plus the time travel e-mail is still running a bit heavy. Today someone wrote about Kate and Leopold, and said that they found the site because it was linked from something connected to Terminator 3 page of IMDB.

So I’m busy, and it’s late, and it’s my own fault, really, for allowing myself to be so completely derailed by something stupid.

No, I’m not going to go into more detail than that. Let me get to the forum.

I did have some time to spare last night, but apart from taking a turn at the dishes and making sure everyone got supper, I put most of it into business matters: I attended to polishing the meeting minutes for the two recent directors meetings which the secretary missed. I also had to run an errand which had me sitting somewhere long enough to do a bit of editing on the Romans exegesis.

This morning I managed to complete the overly complicated registration process for IMDB board to post concerning The Sarah Conner Chronicles–a show I did not watch and have not decided to watch, but for which I’ve already been contacted and questioned. I posted there in response to a thread in which my Terminator temporal anomalies page was mentioned.

I’m hoping to get a bit of extra time today also, but we’ll see how that goes.

This was a busier Monday than usual, as my afternoon was tapped for dealing with some important matters related to the son of a houseguest. I still had to take my mother-in-law to the store, but with the afternoon shot and supper to do it was nine at night before I reached her. Then on the way home I picked up my son from his brother–which is not really on the way, but completely the opposite direction, but still a lot less driving to pick him up while I’m there already than to make a separate trip for him.

I squeezed in the e-mail while making supper, which thanks to the premier of The Sarah Connor Chronicles (which I did not watch) had several letters concerning the Temporal Anomalies site, one of which was calling my attention to a special forum for it at the IMDB web site. I have begun the process of registering for that site so I can see that forum.

I ate supper while my computer was rebooting, which is a commentary both on how fast I wolf down my meals and on how slowly my computer functions, and now I’m trying to finish here and get some sleep before tomorrow arrives officially.

Oh, I’ve also sent a couple of music files to the drummer, so he can begin to get some idea of what I am hoping Collision will sound like. He did hear the one that is on the web, Holocaust, but I don’t know whether he got either of the ones I e-mailed him. Even so, I am going to attempt to e-mail another tomorrow, and am working on getting more of the music files converted to mp3 format (something I have not been able to accomplish on my computer, for reasons I have not been able to determine) so I can send him more.
