word of the day - cavort

cavort \kuh-VORT\, intransitive verb:
1. To bound or prance about.
2. To have lively or boisterous fun; to behave in a high-spirited, festive manner.

Cavort is perhaps an alteration of curvet, "a light leap by a horse" (with the back arched or curved), from Italian corvetta, "a little curve," from Middle French courbette, from courber, "to curve," from Latin curvare, "to bend, to curve," from curvus, "curved, bent."

Morning... I woke up about 2 hours ago... the sleep was a dark, thick, and solid one. I don't remember my dreams, but I was jarred out of my slumber by a telemarketing call...

I have but one chore to do today, but I won't do it until late tonight, or before work tomorrow... accursed laundry. I can't budget those 2 hours in anytime sooner. This morning, I'm expecting a call shortly from my brother, to find out what we'll be doing for midday today...I'm expecting lunch, a few hours of goofing around, and some nice conversation. The usual outing with bro. Heard from him, and I'm taking the bus down to him... we'll catch a movie. :)

Meanwhile, I'm watching Samurai Jack... not bad, thus far, although he looks oddly like the powerpuff girl's professor.

Hopefully, I'll see my sweetheart before I launch for the day.. if not, I trust that we'll reconnect after I return. Heading out now...My thoughts, heart and love goes to her, as always. I'll see my darling when I return.

Got to the bus in record time. Just got to the library, made it with nearly an hour to spare. Interesting crowd gathers at la bibliotecha before opening at noon… about ten people, (not counting myself) lurking in these parts. Here I sit, at the front door of the library, Indian-style, an impending fight looking like its about to break out, a big guy (black) just went over to another big guy (white) and said "Listen, I don't want to have to deal with you today… I'm warning you now. In reply, the other fellow said "oh come on." But the whole exchange wasn't jovial at all.

Whoops, there's Derek. We're going to see Kiss of the Dragon. see you kids later.

Back from my movie-time with brother... I was treated this time around :) We saw kiss of the dragon...a fine chop-socky jet li movie.

Our time together was short today, and we didn't get much talking in... but we had a good day, I have a bus adventure written up on my laptop, which I will synch into my journal the next time I bring lappie online.

Bonus- big brain is working quite well, since I pulled his extra ram... sadly, he only has 128 meg in there now... I look forward to bringing him up to 2 gig. (I'm a ram piggy... I admit it.)

Anyhoo, I'm going to make a little bite to eat, and shower... then gather all washable laundry stuff. I don't want to do it, but I must. (I'm hoping my sweetie will stroll by, and distract me a bit... I'm thinking about her. :) )

Note to self - Get Newton more magic middles! we have 4 left!

Ok, procrastinate until 5, then off tho the 'mat, until 7...hopefully, to see my sweetpea thenish. :)

okie... I can delay no longer. If I want to see her tonight, I must do the wash now.

To paraphrase Benjamin J Grimm's Aunt Petunia's favorite Nephew....

It's Launderin' Time!

p.s. Soylent Green Tea Ice Cream is one of the best flavors at the best ice cream store in Miami, The Frieze. (And, no, it dosn't taste like chicken)
