imagine how doing other things does wonders for one's mind...reading, going out with other different people, doing old or new and different things...how everything else kind of goes out of your focus....but then it always creeps back, somehow....it lurks in the back of your mind waiting, for the right moment to burst into your consciousness and stop you in your tracks, brooding. how does one deal with it? to keep doing other things and pushing it back just hides it...unless it's enough to push it out of your mind completely, but i don't know if that's entirely healthy.

enough philosophy. i love ice skating. feeling the cold air on your face as you glide along, and being determined to try a certain move really takes a lot of work. i'm trying to work on back crossovers. my shoulders end up too forward or something, though, and i end up spinning. and then spinning makes me dizzy. ah, today was a nice day off from duty. but it's back to the courthouse tomorrow. i'm gonna start reading The Hobbit over there. it's interesting which books people read over there. but damn...with today's day off...if i'm not picked for a case, my last day would be christmas eve?! that would definitely suck.
