Planet of the Sea Monkeys...

 I sit..

Brooding..this week...
At the kitchen table, half empty coffee cup, full ashtray,
battery half gone on the laptop.

A non-handsome version of sad Keanu..

I am in the middle of 

a streak wherein I break or destroy 

every concept, experiment, or desire i touch.

 I attempt nothingness as a solution--
The guilt regarding

failed concepts relentlessly chase me..

Until, worn down

I am utterly incapable of any action other than to brood.

Platitudes, pep talks, trying to accept inspirational insights

to get back in the fight and fix the failures that have driven me to brood--

all have zero results for me..

Attempting to Platitude my way out of the brood zone worsens my condition.

Makes me do stupid...

There are those of us who were given birth to brood...

We balance the universe against the Pollyanna's of our species.

I ride out these broods until they end.

There is no other solution when this happens.
It does get a bit better every day.

We observed a strange bird at the feeders this week.

It came and went several times.....

Turns out it was an Inca Dove...

These are not normally found in Southeastern New Mexico.

Named Inca doves because they roost together 

for warmth in pyramid shapes of up to 12 doves.

They go nowhere near Peru....

It was a really beautiful bird--just as pictured it was

like a bird with reptile skin, due to the color patterns of the feathers.

I guess actually noticing this single bird, chowing down among our standard

finches, sparrows and mourning doves 

then----

figuring out exactly what is was----

officially makes JoJo and I real birdwatchers now?

I re-banded my new Chinese military Chronograph,
with a Bison leather military strap.

Works and looks great.

I know all of the logical explanations for crop circles.

But this circle is just way too strange---

This circle has binary code placed within the design--

which when written out alphabetically is a warning to humans...

Scary no matter what...

If this crop circle was created by Geeks, with extremely excessive time on their hands.
Even that--- in and of itself---makes this---fucking scary.

Unusual, excellent and cheap.
My $26.00 Akai PJ-33

Plays great, sounds great and has quickly 

become the go-to boombox for the back porch.

Surprisingly this box is really LOUD.

I have to really watch the volume control

to as to not bother the neighbors...

I have finished Seveneves.
It was excellent!

My reading has slowed, but i still hate being without

a spare book in reserve.

So I just ordered:

A future where states combat each other
in the Southwestern United States for water.

On DVD---

This was an awesome film

 with multiple twists and turns...I highly recommend it....

A strangely funny Australian movie--worth watching....

and 

Our British Mystery compulsion continues with--

on streaming.
