Daily Kup (What I Do With All This Quiet)I am enjoying the peace and quiet as all the people and their fledgling colds have toddled off to bed. Mr. T wonders how I can stand all the silence. I talk to myself, for one thing. I was telling myself just the other day that I should stop that. That provoked a healthy debate where I won and I lost.
Maybe I should go to a coffee shop or something once in a while.
Today, I actually stopped painting and went to a hair salon. It was a nice break and I've always treated it as one of only a couple of activities that I do where I don't multitask. With my head gooped up and a stack of magazines, I sit in the seat nearest the window. They come by to refresh my cup of herbal tea while I read and chat with an array of folks with foils poking out of their heads at odd angles. Today, there was a change. The gowns and pinwheel-like foils were there but women sat at the table fiddling with their notebooks or typing frantically with their thumbs on their phone's tiny keyboards. Part of me thought, "Why don't you people just give it a rest for a while?" Unfortunately, another part thought, "Wow! I didn't know they had free wi-fi here."
Never Gets Old
I was reviewing my You Tube favorites and came across the first video that I saved to a playlist didn't involve golf balls in a blender or a squirrel on water skis. This was way back in the "before time long, long ago" and might have been the first time I had heard the term 'viral video.'
Weird, but it kind of makes me want to eat a mentos with a Diet Coke. There would be no music, of course. Just the screaming.
