it's only time, and time's all we've got

i don't wear a watch anymore. i haven't worn one in almost a year. there would have been a time in my life that even the thought it would make me a little tense. but once the band on my old cheapy one died, and i never bothered to get a new one, i discovered that not having one was actually liberating. now i don't have to worry about obsessively checking my wrist all the time to see what time it is. i am still always on time for wherever i am going so there you go.

i almost wish i was wearing a watch today. i am sitting in the phoenix airport waiting to catch a flight to burbank. as i was sitting on the plane, i had no idea what time it was or how much longer it was going to take to get my destination. still, in a small way, that was a good thing, too. i figure i'll get there when i get there. no worries. i just need to make sure i keep an eye on my cell phone so i can catch my next flight on time.

phoenix. this is only the second time i have been in this city, and both times have been in the airport. i don't know much about phoenix. i know john mccain is from arizona but not sure where. it looks like a desert. a lot of old people live here. that sums up my knowledge of phoenix.

okay, i am babbling. i am on my way to fan source weekend. i am going to go on record as saying that i like patrick duffy just a little less this morning. he was scheduled to appear and sign autographs this weekend. he has known about this since around the first of the year (which is when i first purchased my tickets to come out here). i get a random e-mail this morning stating that patrick has to go to london to work this weekend and will not be able to make it. hello? has he ever heard the meaning of the word "previous engagement"? i figure he has enough money that he could turn down one weekend in london to come hang out with his fans. his fans who paid a lot of good money to fly across country to see him. oh well, he's the one who is missing out. pamh is a lot of fun, and his life will be less than meaningful for not having met me. so there you go.

not too much else going on. the heathens are back in KY hanging out with aunt monica and her gang this weekend. poor madeline is now poor nervous depressed madeline. i had to take her to the vet last night because she has been scratching again. the vet thinks it is her nerves. she is going to start on an anti-depressant for 30 days. i tell you, it is just hard to be a cat in the hester househould.

i watched part of the debate the other night. yawn yawn yawn. neither one of them said anything new. i did finally make my decision to vote for obama. i hope he comes through. god knows our country needs some help right now. banks failing, people losing their homes, economies around the world suffering, corporations taking $440,000 spa trips to california.... has the whole world truly gone ass over elbows?

i don't have a big agenda for my weekend in LA other than have fun! i am going to go scouting for apartments because pamh wants to settle it once and for all if she is going to make the big move out to golden state. i plan to hit the santa monica pier at some point and of course take a nice long stroll along the beach. i'll also make my usual pilgrimage out to the cul-de-sac as i can now find it without using a map. i have some serious skills.

that's all for now. it's time out of the busy life of the P for some serious fun this weekend. thank god i am away from cube hell until wednesday! sometimes it really is good to be me.
